Intra/Inter Forces

What is the significance of boiling point in relation to intermolecular forces?

• The boiling point indicates the temperature at which a substance freezes.

• The boiling point is unrelated to intermolecular forces.

• The boiling point of a substance indicates the strength of its intermolecular forces; higher boiling points suggest stronger forces.

• The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance becomes a solid.

What are intermolecular forces?

• Forces that hold atoms together in a molecule.

• Forces of attraction or repulsion between neighboring particles (molecules, atoms, or ions).

• Forces that occur only in ionic compounds.

• Forces that are responsible for chemical reactions.

What is the relationship between molecular size and London dispersion forces?

• As molecular size increases, London dispersion forces decrease due to a smaller electron cloud, leading to weaker attractions.

• As molecular size increases, London dispersion forces remain constant regardless of molecular size.

• As molecular size increases, London dispersion forces also increase due to a larger electron cloud, leading to stronger attractions.

• As molecular size increases, London dispersion forces become negligible and do not affect molecular interactions.

How do dipole-dipole forces compare to hydrogen bonding?

• Hydrogen bonding is a specific type of dipole-dipole interaction that is stronger due to the high electronegativity of the atoms involved.

• Dipole-dipole forces are always stronger than hydrogen bonds.

• Hydrogen bonding occurs only in nonpolar molecules.

• Dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonding are the same thing.

What is the effect of temperature on intermolecular forces?

• Increasing temperature decreases kinetic energy, leading to stronger intermolecular forces.

• Increasing temperature generally increases kinetic energy, which can overcome intermolecular forces, leading to phase changes like boiling.

• Temperature has no effect on intermolecular forces.

• Decreasing temperature increases kinetic energy, causing phase changes like melting.

How do intermolecular forces influence solubility?

• Intermolecular forces have no effect on solubility.

• Polar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.

• Polar substances tend to dissolve in polar solvents, while nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.

• All substances are equally soluble in any solvent.

What is a polar molecule?

• A molecule that has a net dipole moment due to the presence of polar bonds, resulting in a positive and a negative end.

• A molecule that has an equal distribution of electrical charge, resulting in no positive or negative ends.

• A molecule that contains only nonpolar bonds and has no dipole moment.

• A molecule that is soluble in water and has a high boiling point.

What is the role of electronegativity in intermolecular forces?

• It determines the molecular weight of a compound.

• It affects the boiling point of substances.

• Electronegativity differences between atoms in a molecule determine the polarity of the molecule and the strength of dipole-dipole interactions.

• It influences the color of the substance.

Which intermolecular force is the strongest?

• Van der Waals forces

• Hydrogen bonding

• Dipole-dipole interactions

• Ionic bonding

What are London dispersion forces?

• Weak intermolecular forces that arise from temporary dipoles in molecules.

• Strong forces that hold atoms together in a molecule.

• Forces that only exist in ionic compounds.

• Attractive forces between molecules with permanent dipoles.
