Bonds and IMF

Front

What is the force of attraction between nonpolar molecules?

Back

London Dispersion Forces (LDF) are the forces of attraction between nonpolar molecules.

Front

What type of bond is formed between atoms of the same element?

Back

A nonpolar covalent bond is formed between atoms of the same element.

Front

What type of intermolecular force (IMF) is responsible for the attraction between ions and polar molecules?

Back

Ion-Dipole Interaction is the type of IMF responsible for the attraction between ions and polar molecules.

Front

What type of IMF is responsible for the attraction between molecules that have hydrogen bonded to highly electronegative atoms?

Back

Hydrogen Bonds are responsible for the attraction between molecules that have hydrogen bonded to highly electronegative atoms.

Front

How does the strength of temporary dipoles change with the size of molecules?

Back

The strength of temporary dipoles increases with the size of molecules.

Front

What are intermolecular forces (IMFs)?

Back

Intermolecular forces (IMFs) are forces of attraction or repulsion between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions).

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms, resulting in a molecule with a slight charge.

Front

What is the difference between ionic bonds and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Front

What are dipole-dipole interactions?

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 the strongest type of intermolecular force?

Back

Hydrogen bonding is considered the strongest type of intermolecular force.
