IMFA

Cards (29)

  • Forces holding solids and liquids together. Intermolecular Forces
  • Intermolecular forces are the attraction and repulsion between molecules.
  • Intermolecular forces are chemical bonds. True or False?
    False
  • IMF substance may exhibit a function of charge, polarity, and molar mass.
  • IMF is important in determining solubility of gases, liquids and solids in various solvents.
  • IMF is crucial in determining biologically important molecules like DNA and proteins.
  • STAGES OF MATTER:
    ordered, low kinetic energy. Solid
  • STAGES OF MATTER:
    relatively close, moderate kinetic energy. liquid
  • STAGES OF MATTER:
    far apart, high kinetic energy. gas
  • Chemical bonds = intra molecular forces
  • particle attraction = inter molecular forces
  • Intramolecular forces focus on molecular stability (ionic and covalent)
  • Intermolecular forces focus on bulk properties (freezing/boiling point)
  • Collective name of IMF. van der waals forces
  • occurs between ions and polar solvents. ion - dipole
  • occurs between polar molecules. dipole - dipole
  • occurs between all molecules, mostly seen on non-polar molecules. london dispersion
  • occurs between O-H, N-H, F-H bonds. Hydrogen bonding
  • Boiling point increases with molecular weight and surface area
  • IMFA increases with increasing polarization of bonds
  • forces that govern charged particles are defined by coulomb 's law
  • Dipole-dipole forces bind molecules having permanent dipoles to one another
  • The measure of polarity of a bond. debye
  • Hydrogen bonding explains the phenomena of capillary action, surface tension and floatation of ice
  • water reaches maximum density at 4 C
  • Polar molecules (e.g. water) can temporarily induce or create dipoles in molecules without permanent dipoles. induced dipole forces (debye forces)
  • formation of dipoles in 2 nonpolar molecules due to asymmetrical distribution of electron cloud. induced dipole - induced dipole
  • larger molecule = easily polarized
  • degree of electron cloud to be distorted. polarizability
