define INTRAMOLECULAR/BONDING FORCES
forces within a molecule allowing for chemical behavior to be the same despite different phases
what allows for chemical behavior to be the same despite the substance being in different phases
intramolecular/bonding forces
define INTERMOLECULAR/NONBONDING FORCES
forces between molecules that cause differences in physical behavior between phases
differences in intermolecular force strength causes
differences in physical behavior between phases
what produces intermolecular forces
the attraction of partial charges or ions + molecules
t/f: intermolecular forces are stronger than intramolecular forces
false
why are intermolecular forces weaker than intramolecular forces
they possess smaller charges farther apart
define VAN DER WAALS DISTANCE
distance between 2 nonbonded atoms in adjacent molecules
define VAN DER WAALS RADIUS
half closest distance between 2 nuclei of nonbonded atoms
t/f: van der waals radius are always larger than the covalent radius
true
why are van der waals radius always larger than the covalent radius
the covalent radius is smaller bc of overlapping orbitals
what is the trend of covalent radii and van der waals radii
they increase down and to the left
define ION DIPOLE FORCE
strong intermolecular force composing of an ion & nearby polar molecule
an ionic compound dissolving in H2O is an example of which nonbonding force
ionic dipole
what is the strongests nonbonding force
ion dipole
define H BOND NONBONDING FORCE
2nd strongest nonbonding force composing of polar bond to hydrogen w/dipole charge
define DIPOLE-DIPOLE
nonbonding force where positive pole of 1 polar molecule is attracted to negative pole of other polar molecules
this nonbonding force only occurs in polar molecules
dipole-dipole
compounds with similar molar masses have a ___ molecular dipole moment, which leads to a greater ____
greater; dipole-dipole force
define DISPERSION/LONDON FORCES
nonbonding force where polarizable electron clouds cause a brief dipole producing polarity
what is the weakest nonbonding force
dispersion
an ___ in a dipole moment leads to increase ___
increase; strength
why do molecules with higher dipole moments have a higher boiling point
has greater strength meaning it is harder to break apart the molecule
molecules with a greater dipole moment have a greater ____
boiling point
