Molecular Properties Table Quiz

Study Notes

Molecular Structure Table

The table displays a list of chemical formulas with their corresponding properties:
- Number of Valence Electrons
- Lewis Dot Structure
- Molecular Geometry
- Molecular Polarity
- Intermolecular Forces (IMF's)
The table includes polyatomic ions with charge (e.g., NO₂⁻)
The Lewis Dot Structures and Molecular Geometries are handwritten, ensuring accuracy by referring to other sources

Additional Notes

The total number of valence electrons is calculated by summing the valence electrons of each atom in the molecule.
Common molecular geometries include bent, linear, trigonal planar, and tetrahedral.
Molecular polarity is determined by the distribution of electron density within the molecule.
Intermolecular forces are attractive forces between molecules.
The table lists common IMFs:
- Dipole-Dipole Interactions
- London Dispersion Forces (LDF)
- Hydrogen Bonding

Molecular Properties of Different Compounds

The table displays a collection of molecules with their molecular properties, including:
- Formula
- Number of Total Valence Electrons
- Lewis Dot Structure
- Molecular Geometry
- Molecular Polarity
- Intermolecular Forces (IMF's)
The table focuses on the types of IMF's present in each molecule.
The Lewis dot structures and geometrical representations are hand drawn, which can be inaccurate.
The table could be a chemistry assignment or notes on chemical bonding.

Vocabulary

Double bond: A covalent bond formed by the sharing of two pairs of electrons between two atoms.
Electronegativity: Measures an atom's ability to attract electrons in a covalent bond.
Ionic bond: Results from electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Covalent bond: Forms when electrons are shared between two atoms.
Triple bond: A covalent bond sharing three pairs of electrons between two atoms.
Polar bond: Occurs when electrons are shared unevenly between two atoms.
Metallic bond: Forms between metal atoms where electrons are free to move (sea of electrons).
Lone pair: A pair of electrons not involved in bonding.
Central atom: Usually carbon, it is the atom at the center of the molecule.
Intramolecular forces: Attractive forces between atoms within a molecule.
Intermolecular forces: Attractive forces between molecules.
Partial charge: Represented by the Greek letter delta (δ), it indicates an uneven distribution of charge within a molecule.

IMFs: Determining IMF Type

Question 1: F₂ has a lower boiling point than I₂ because F₂ experiences weaker London Dispersion Forces (LDFs) due to its smaller number of electrons.
Question 2:
- CH₃OH (methanol) would have the highest boiling point because of its ability to form hydrogen bonds due to the presence of an OH group.
- Hydrogen bonds are the strongest type of intermolecular force, leading to higher boiling points.
- CH₃Cl has dipole-dipole forces which are weaker than hydrogen bonds.
- H₂O also forms hydrogen bonds, but they are less strong than those in methanol.
