Check for Understanding - Intramolecular Forces

Why do covalent compounds have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds?

• Covalent compounds have weak intermolecular forces between the molecules

• Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity

• Covalent compounds have strong intermolecular forces between the molecules

• Covalent compounds have very weak bonds between the atoms

Why are ionic compounds soluble in water?

• They form between nonmetals, are nonpolar and so water is repelled and dissolves them

• They form between nonmetals, are polar and so water is attracted and dissolves them

• They form between a metal and a nonmetal, are polar and so water is attracted and dissolves them

• They form between a metal and a nonmetal, are polar and so water is repelled and dissolves them

An experiment was conducted using salt, sugar, and two unknown substances. The results from the experiment are shown. What type of intramolecular forces would be found in substance A?

• Ionic because it's properties are most like salt (which is ionic)

• Ionic because it's properties are most like sugar (which is ionic)

• Covalent because it's properties are most like salt (which is covalent)

• Covalent because it's properties are most like sugar (which is covalent)

HCl and C2H4O2 are dissolved in water and hooked up to a conductivity tester as shown in the picture.

Based of this experiment, what type of bonds for HCl?

• Ionic because it can conduct electricity and light the bulb

• Covalent because it can conduct electricity and light the bulb

• Ionic because it cannot conduct electricity and the bulb did not light up

• Covalent because it cannot conduct electricity and the bulb did not light up
