What are intermolecular forces?

Back

Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion between neighboring particles (molecules, atoms, or ions). They play a crucial role in determining the physical properties of substances.

What type of intermolecular force is present in CO₂?

Back

London Dispersion Force.

What is ionic bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions that attract each other.

Define London Dispersion Forces.

Back

London Dispersion Forces are weak intermolecular forces that arise from temporary dipoles in molecules due to the movement of electrons.

What is a dipole-dipole interaction?

Back

Dipole-dipole interactions are attractive forces between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.

Front

What is hydrogen bonding?

Back

Hydrogen bonding is a strong type of dipole-dipole interaction that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms like nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.
