Intermolecular forces

Question 1

what are intermolecular forces

Answer 1

attraction between molecules, much weaker than chemical bonds (covalent)

Question 2

the forces in order from strongest to weakest

Answer 2

1. ion dipole
2. H-bond
3. dipole-dipole
4. London dispersion

Question 3

,.cwhat is a LD force

Answer 3

-attraction due to the constant motion of electrons
- will cause temporary concentration of charge on one side of an atom/molecule
- exist between ALL molecules
- significant only if molecules are very close together
- strength depends on polarizability

Question 4

what is dipole dipole

Answer 4

attraction between polar molecules

Question 5

what is hydrogen bonding force

Answer 5

-stronger kind of dd
occurs only between molecules with lone pairs on center atom and hydrogen bonded to F, O, N

Question 6

ion dipole

Answer 6

-strongest
- between cation or anion
