IMF Properties

Front

What is responsible for the solubility of sodium chloride in water?

Back

The presence of charged ends in NaCl enables dipole-dipole interaction with water.

Front

In which situation are dispersion forces strongest?

Back

If one molecule is much larger than another, dispersion forces will likely determine its physical properties.

Front

What type of vapor pressure do volatile liquids have?

Back

High

Front

Which container has the greatest vapor pressure: red, yellow, or blue?

Back

Red

Front

What is viscosity?

Back

The resistance to flow.

Front

Define dipole-dipole interaction.

Back

An attractive force between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another.

Front

What are London dispersion forces?

Back

Weak intermolecular forces arising from temporary dipoles in molecules.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and vapor pressure?

Back

As temperature increases, vapor pressure also increases.

Front

What is the effect of molecular size on dispersion forces?

Back

Larger molecules have stronger dispersion forces due to increased polarizability.

Front

What is the significance of high vapor pressure in liquids?

Back

It indicates that the liquid is volatile and can easily evaporate.
