What are intermolecular forces?
Forces between molecules
Intermolecular forces are stronger than covalent bonds.
False
Arrange the intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength.
1️⃣ London dispersion forces
2️⃣ Dipole-dipole forces
3️⃣ Hydrogen bonds
Hydrogen bonds occur when a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom interacts with another electronegative
atom
The strength of London dispersion forces increases with
molecular size
.
How do hydrogen bonds affect melting and boiling points?
Increase them significantly
Substances with hydrogen bonds have the highest melting and boiling
points
London dispersion forces result in the lowest melting and
boiling
points.
Match the solvent type with the solute type that it can dissolve effectively:
Polar solvent ↔️ Polar solute
Nonpolar solvent ↔️ Nonpolar solute
Substances with similar intermolecular forces are more likely to mix and
dissolve
What are intermolecular forces?
Forces between molecules
Hydrogen bonds occur when a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom interacts with another electronegative atom in a different
molecule
Hydrogen bonds are stronger than
dipole-dipole forces
.
What creates dipole-dipole forces?
Unequal electron distribution
Match the intermolecular force with its characteristic:
Hydrogen bonds ↔️ Strongest
Dipole-dipole forces ↔️ Polar molecules
London dispersion forces ↔️ Weakest, present in all molecules
What causes London dispersion forces?
Temporary fluctuations in electron distribution
Hydrogen bonds occur between molecules containing hydrogen bonded to highly electronegative atoms like nitrogen, oxygen, or
fluorine
Dipole-dipole forces exist between all molecules.
False
How does molecular size affect London dispersion forces?
Strength increases with size
Hydrogen bonds are the strongest type of
intermolecular
force.
Match the intermolecular force with its effect on molecular properties:
Hydrogen bonds ↔️ Highest melting and boiling points
Dipole-dipole forces ↔️ Moderate melting and boiling points
London dispersion forces ↔️ Lowest melting and boiling points
Arrange the intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength:
1️⃣ London dispersion forces
2️⃣ Dipole-dipole forces
3️⃣ Hydrogen bonds
Hydrogen bonds result in the highest melting and
boiling
points due to their strong attraction.
London dispersion forces are the weakest type of intermolecular force, but their strength increases with molecular
size
.
Which type of intermolecular force leads to the highest melting and boiling points?
Hydrogen bonds
"Like dissolves like" is a principle that explains the effect of intermolecular forces on
solubility
.
Match the solvent type with the solute type it dissolves best:
Polar solvent ↔️ Polar solute
Nonpolar solvent ↔️ Nonpolar solute
What is surface tension influenced by?
Intermolecular forces
Water has high surface tension due to strong
hydrogen
bonds.
Viscosity measures a
fluid's
resistance to flow.
Which intermolecular force results in the highest viscosity?
Hydrogen bonds
