Inter and Intramolecular forces

Front

What is a dipole?

Back

A dipole is a separation of positive and negative charges in a molecule, resulting in a molecule having a positive end and a negative end.

Front

What is ionic bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions.

Front

What are intermolecular forces?

Back

Intermolecular forces are attractions that occur between neighboring molecules, influencing properties like boiling and melting points.

Front

Rank the following in order of strength: covalent bond, hydrogen bond, dipole-dipole attraction.

Back

Covalent bond > Hydrogen bond > Dipole-dipole attraction.

Front

What does a double bond represent in an electron dot diagram?

Back

A double bond represents two pairs of shared electrons between two atoms.

Front

What is a hydrogen bond?

Back

A hydrogen bond is a weak attraction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom and another electronegative atom.

Front

What is a nonpolar molecule?

Back

A nonpolar molecule is a molecule that has no separation of charge, so no positive or negative poles are formed.

Front

What is the difference between intramolecular and intermolecular forces?

Back

Intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule, while intermolecular forces are the forces that attract molecules to one another.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What is dipole-dipole attraction?

Back

Dipole-dipole attraction is the interaction between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.
