Front

What is the intermolecular force present in all matter?

Back

London or Dispersion Forces.

Front

What type of intermolecular force is present in HCl?

Back

Dipole-dipole.

Front

What is the intermolecular force of attraction between two polar molecules?

Back

Dipole-dipole.

Front

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of what force?

Back

Dipole-dipole forces.

Front

What are the intermolecular forces present in NH3?

Back

Hydrogen bonding.

Front

Define London Dispersion Forces.

Back

Weak intermolecular forces arising from temporary dipoles in molecules.

Front

What is a dipole-dipole interaction?

Back

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

Front

What is hydrogen bonding?

Back

A strong 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 intermolecular forces in liquids?

Back

They determine the physical properties such as boiling point, melting point, and viscosity.

Front

How do intermolecular forces affect boiling points?

Back

Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher boiling points.
