Intermolecular Forces (IMF)

Front

What type of molecules do dipole-dipole forces typically involve?

Back

Polar molecules.

Front

What are intermolecular forces?

Back

Forces that exist between two or more molecules.

Front

Which molecule has the strongest intermolecular forces among the following: HCl, CH4, or Ar?

Back

HCl.

Front

What are intramolecular forces?

Back

Forces within a molecule or ionic compound.

Front

What is the term for the attraction between two polar molecules?

Back

Dipole-Dipole.

Front

What type of intermolecular force is present in nonpolar molecules?

Back

London dispersion forces.

Front

How do hydrogen bonds differ from dipole-dipole interactions?

Back

Hydrogen bonds are a specific type of dipole-dipole interaction that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms like N, O, or F.

Front

What is the significance of molecular polarity in determining intermolecular forces?

Back

Molecular polarity affects the strength and type of intermolecular forces; polar molecules exhibit stronger forces than nonpolar molecules.

Front

What is the relationship between intermolecular forces and boiling points?

Back

Stronger intermolecular forces generally lead to higher boiling points.

Front

What are the three main types of intermolecular forces?

Back

Dipole-dipole interactions, hydrogen bonds, and London dispersion forces.
