W8 Flashcards
What is bonding between non metals called?
Covalent bonding.
Define intramolecular?
Chemical bond between atoms within a molecule.
What is the aim of diatomic molecules? Eg. Single, double and triple bond.
So that each atom achieves a full outer shell when bonding a molecule.
In what dimension are dot diagrams?
2D
In what dimension is molecular geometry?
3D
What is VSEPR used for?
Predicting the shape of a molecule.
Are intermolecular forces weaker or stronger than covalent bonds?
Weaker.
How are intermolecular forces easily broken?
With temperature.
What is the name of the type of intermolecular bond between non-polar molecules?
Dispersion forces.
How are induced dipole -dipole forces formed?
Instantaneously due to random electron movement
How does an increased number of electrons effect the likelihood of instantaneous dipoles being created?
Increases the chances.
What’s the weakest intermolecular force?
Induced dipole -dipole forces.
