15 Questions
What type of intermolecular force is the strongest among the three discussed?
Hydrogen bonds
Which pair of molecules would likely engage in an ion-dipole interaction?
Sodium ion and water molecule
In which scenario would dipole-dipole forces have the most discernible effects?
When the polar atoms are packed closely together
Which factor increases as a result of stronger intermolecular forces?
Boiling point
What happens to the viscosity of a substance with weak intermolecular forces?
It decreases
Which type of force is responsible for holding a molecule together?
Intramolecular forces
What is the main characteristic of dipole-dipole interactions?
'Dipole-dipole interactions are weaker than hydrogen bonds.'
'Ion-dipole interactions tend to occur whenever:'
'Polar solvents dissolve ionic compounds.'
What do Intermolecular Forces refer to?
The attraction between molecules, ions, and atoms when they are in close proximity
Which statement about molecules is true?
Molecules are the smallest functional units of chemical compounds
Which type of intermolecular force is a hydrogen bond?
Dipole-dipole force
Why would a hydrogen bond not be exemplified by the interaction between hydrogen and water?
Because it does not involve a slightly positive hydrogen and a slightly negative atom
How does the strength of intermolecular forces affect how molecules are packed together?
Strong intermolecular forces result in substances with molecules packed more closely together
In what situations do intermolecular interactions occur?
When molecules, ions, or atoms are close to each other and oppositely charged
Which type of intermolecular force is the strongest?
Hydrogen bond
Learn about intermolecular forces (IMFs) in chemistry, which are the attractions between molecules, ions, and atoms when they are in close proximity. Explore how these forces impact the behavior and properties of substances at a molecular level.
