Define intermolecular forces.

Back

Forces that occur between molecules, affecting physical properties like boiling and melting points.

Front

What is VSEPR theory?

Back

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory; it predicts the shape of molecules based on electron pair repulsion.

Front

What is hybridization in chemistry?

Back

The mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals for bonding.

Front

What is a polar molecule?

Back

A molecule with a net dipole moment due to the presence of polar bonds and an asymmetrical shape.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.
