Do intermolecular forces have a strong or weak attraction when compared to intramolecular forces?

These forces are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.

100

Is there a strong or weak attraction of hydrogen atoms between the water molecules in a liquid?

Strong attraction

100

Do dispersion forces have a strong or weak attraction?

Weak attraction

100

What are intermolecular forces?

Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions).

Between what type of molecules do dipole interactions occur?

Diatomic molecules

200

Hydrogen bonding is a type of

Strong dipole-dipole intermolecular force

200

When do LDFs occur?

Between all molecules. Most importantly between nonpolar molecules.

200

Are intermolecular forces stronger or weaker than intramolecular forces?

Intermolecular forces are weaker than intramolecular forces, because the attractions that hold compounds together are stronger than the attractions between molecules.

When do dipole-dipole forces occur?

Between polar molecules.

They occur when the slightly positive end of one polar molecule is attracted to the slightly negative end of another polar molecule.

300

When do hydrogen bonds occur?

These occur between polar covalent molecules that possess a hydrogen atom bonded to an extreme electronegative element (N, O, F)

At room temperature, F2 and Cl2 are gases, Br2 is a liquid, and I2 is a solid. This is because:

Dispersion interactions increase with molecular size

300

What are three types of intermolecular forces from strongest to least strongest?

Hydrogen Bonding > Dipole-dipole > LDFs

What intermolecular force is responsible for the attraction between an ion and a polar molecule?

Ion-dipole interaction

400

Where are the strongest hydrogen bonds?

Between molecules containing F-H bonds

400

Based on the following information: CF4, Molecular Weight 87.99, Normal Boiling Point -182°C CCl4, Molecular Weight 153.8, Normal Boiling Point -123°C The intermolecular forces of attraction in the above substances is described by which of the following:

Dispersion forces

400

What happens to the vapor pressure as the intermolecular forces increase?

The stronger the intermolecular forces, the lower the vapor pressure.

Name 3 organization I am involved in that doesn't include SI. 

College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Ambassador, American Medical Student Association (AMSA), Maroon VIP, Neuroscience Club, Shackouls Honors College, Alumni Delegate, Phi Kappa Phi, and Lambda Sigma

500

Does an ion-dipole have a strong or weak attraction?

Ion-dipole has a strong attraction

500

What effect does H-bonding have on the properties of the substance?

Hydrogen bonding leads to substantial increases in physical properties such as the expected boiling/melting points.

500

What happens to the LDFs when the molecule is bigger?


The larger the molecule, the greater the London dispersion forces. This is because larger molecules have a bigger electron cloud, thus creating a stronger temporary dipole when the electrons become asymmetrically distributed.
500

The boiling point of CH4 is much lower than that of HF. This is because:

Of hydrogen bonding in HF
