Study Notes
Molecular Polarity
- A polar molecule has a net dipole moment, while a nonpolar molecule has a zero net dipole moment.
- The shape of a molecule, such as bent-shaped SO4, can affect its polarity.
Bonding and Intermolecular Forces
- Nonpolar molecules form when two atoms share electrons symmetrically, resulting in a molecule with no net dipole moment.
- Dipole-dipole forces act between atoms and molecules with symmetrically distributed electrons.
- Halogens like fluorine (F2), chlorine (Cl2), bromine (Br2), and iodine (I2) are examples of polar molecules.
Intermolecular Forces and Properties
- An increase in intermolecular forces results in a decrease in vapor pressure.
- Hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force.
Chemical Reactions
- For a chemical reaction to occur, reactant particles must collide with proper orientation.
- Adding more reactant particles can increase the rate of a chemical reaction.
- Catalysis is the process by which the rate of a chemical reaction is increased.
Energy and Chemistry
- Solar energy is an example of "The People's Power" due to its accessibility and shareability.
- The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution describes the distribution of speeds among particles in a sample of gas at a given temperature.
Compounds and Applications
- Ammonia is a class of compounds commonly used in industrial and commercial practices.
