Intermolecular Forces and Chemical Reactions

Front

What are intermolecular forces?

Back

Intermolecular forces are the forces that occur between molecules, influencing their physical properties such as boiling and melting points.

Front

Which of the following is not an intermolecular force?

Back

Covalent bonding.

Front

What type of reaction is represented by the equation 2Pb(NO3)2 --> 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2?

Back

Decomposition reaction.

Front

What do the coefficients in a chemical equation indicate?

Back

The coefficients indicate the number of molecules of each reactant used and the number of molecules of each product made.

Front

What can be determined from the chemical formula C6H12O6?

Back

The number of atoms of each element in a glucose molecule.

Front

What are London dispersion forces?

Back

London dispersion forces are weak intermolecular forces that arise from temporary shifts in electron density in molecules.

Front

What is hydrogen bonding?

Back

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

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

What is a single displacement reaction?

Back

A single displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another element in a compound.

Front

What is a combustion reaction?

Back

A combustion reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of light or heat.
