Intermolecular Forces (IMF)

Front

Intermolecular forces are forces _________ molecules or ions

Back

between

Front

What is the weakest IMF?

Back

London Dispersion

Front

Type of intermolecular force present in I2, Br2, and Cl2.

Back

London dispersion forces

Front

Intramolecular forces are forces _________ a molecule or ionic compound

Back

within

Front

If something mixes/dissolves in water, it is ________

Back

polar

Front

Define intermolecular forces.

Back

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

Front

What are the three main types of intermolecular forces?

Back

Dipole-dipole, Hydrogen bonding, London dispersion.

Front

What is hydrogen bonding?

Back

A strong type of dipole-dipole interaction that occurs between molecules containing hydrogen bonded to highly electronegative atoms like N, O, or F.

Front

What is the significance of London dispersion forces?

Back

They are the weakest intermolecular forces but are present in all molecules, influencing properties like boiling points.

Front

How do polar and nonpolar molecules interact?

Back

Polar molecules interact with other polar molecules and can dissolve in water, while nonpolar molecules do not mix well with polar substances.
