Hydrogen Bond is the strongest because
it is temporary
H only has 1 electron and when shared unequally creates extreme poles
It is permanent
Hydrogen has a very strong electronegativity and pulls on the electrons
A strong IMF increases
boiling point
solubility
flammability
malleability
A weak IMF will result in a
high melting point
high viscosity
high surface tension
low surface tension
A hydrogen bond is a covalent bond. True or False
True
False, because it is ionic
False because it has an intramolecular force
False because it has an intermolecular force
Soap has a polar head and a nonpolar tail.
True
False
For something to be soluble
the solvent IMF must be stronger than the solute IMF
the solvent IMF must be weaker than the solute IMF
both IMFs must be weak
the solute and solvent IMFs must be close to the same strength
The dissolving process is
the IMF broken between the solute and solvent molecules, new IMF formed between solvent and solute, solvent carries solvent particles further apart
the IMF is formed between the solute and solvent creating a new substance
the solvent breaks the bonds of the solute and creates a new bond with the solvent
Why do oil and water not mix?
Water and oil have similar IMF
Water and oil's IMFs are too different in strength.
Why does water bead on a clean window?
Water has a strong IMF ~ high surface tension and stick together and resist spreading out
Water has a weak IMF ~ high surface tension and stick together and resist spreading out
Water has a strong IMF ~ low surface tension and stick together and resist spreading out
Water has a weak IMF ~ weak surface tension and stick together and resist spreading out
How does soap work in cleaning oil?
Soap is nonpolar and interacts with oil.
Soap is polar and with the stronger IMF than oil will wash it away.
The polar head dissolves in water and spreads out the soap surrounding the oil with the nonpolar tail which interacts with soap
Soap is magical!

In what situation does DIPOLE -DIPOLE FORCES are stronger?
If two molecules are of comparable size and shape, dipole–dipole interactions will likely be the dominating force.
If one molecule is much larger than another, dipole–dipole interactions will likely be the dominating force.
If positive ends of polar molecules are oriented to negatively charged anions, dipole–dipole interactions will likely be the dominating force.
If negative ends of polar molecules are oriented to positively charged cations, dipole–dipole interactions will likely be the dominating force.
In which situation does DISPERSION FORCES are strongest?
If two molecules are of comparable size and shape, dispersion forces will likely determine its physical properties.
If one molecule is much larger than another, dispersion forces will likely determine its physical properties.
If negative ends of polar molecules are oriented to positively charged cations, dispersion forces will likely determine its physical properties.
If positive ends of polar molecules are oriented to negatively charged anions, dispersion forces will likely determine its physical properties.
Sodium chloride is completely soluble in water. What is responsible
for its solubility in water?
Na+ and Cl- ions are favorable sites for H-bonding to form.
The ions in NaCl participate in ion-induced dipole attractions with
water.
The presence of charged ends in NaCl enables dipole-dipole
interaction with water.
London dispersion forces in NaCl predominate leading to strong
dipole interactions with water.
Xenon has a greater atomic weight than neon. Xe has 131.3 amu while
Ne has 20.2 amu. The boiling points are 166.1K and 27.3K, respectively.
How do intermolecular forces account for the difference?
Dipole- dipole interaction is greater in Xe than Ne so more
energy is needed to break the bonds.
H-bonding is greater for substances with higher atomic weight
so greater energy is needed to change Xe to vapour.
Atomic weight increases the chance of lesser dispersion forces
so greater energy is needed to separate Xe atoms to change to
vapour
London dispersion forces are greater in substances with
heavier atomic weight so greater energy is needed to separate
the atoms of Xe than Ne.
