Adv IM forces

Front

What explains the very high melting and boiling point of water?

Back

Strong hydrogen bonds between water molecules.

Front

What type of intermolecular forces do hydrocarbons have?

Back

London dispersion forces (LDFs).

Front

What kind of intermolecular forces are present in H2S?

Back

Dipole-dipole and London dispersion forces (LDF).

Front

Which of the following has the highest boiling point: CH3CH2CH2CH2Cl, CH3CH2CH2CH3, CH3CH2CH2CH2I, CH3CH2CH2CH2F?

Back

CH3CH2CH2CH2I.

Front

Describe the polarity of a nonpolar molecule and the intermolecular forces present.

Back

Nonpolar and London dispersion forces (LDF).

Front

Define 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 are London dispersion forces?

Back

Weak intermolecular forces arising from temporary dipoles in molecules.

Front

How do dipole-dipole forces differ from London dispersion forces?

Back

Dipole-dipole forces occur between polar molecules, while London dispersion forces occur in all molecules, regardless of polarity.

Front

What is the significance of molecular shape in determining intermolecular forces?

Back

Molecular shape affects polarity and the strength of intermolecular forces, influencing boiling and melting points.

Front

What is the relationship between intermolecular forces and boiling point?

Back

Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher boiling points.
