Ionic bonding is between a(n) ___ and a(n) ____.

Ion, ion

100

Dipole-dipole interactions have to occur between two _____ molecules.

Polar

100

True or false: hydrogen bonding is the strongest IMF

False


It's stronger than dipole-dipole and London Dispersion, but not ionic or ion-dipole

100

True or false: London dispersion is present in all molecules

True

London dispersion comes from a temporary dipole moment due to the movement of elements within the molecule

100

True or false: intermolecular forces determine different physical properties such as boiling point, vapor pressure, viscosity, and surface tension

True

200

When you dissolve something in water, what type of IMF is strongest?

Ion-dipole

200

Explain why a dipole-dipole interaction occurs (specifically explain dipole moment or why the two ends of the molecules interact)

The partial positive (δ⁺) charge of one end of a polar molecule interacts with the partial negative charge (δ⁻) of the end of another polar molecule, allowing the two dipole moments to interact and create a dipole-dipole interaction.

200

Hydrogen bonding is between hydrogen and what other element(s)? (Hint: there are three possible elements)

Fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen

200

Will a London dispersion force be stronger in a larger or smaller molecule?

A larger molecule

Larger molecules have more electrons and have a higher chance of creating temporary dipole moments 

200

Rank the following IMFs in order of strongest to weakest (in general!).

Ionic, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, London dispersion, ion-dipole

Ionic > ion-dipole > hydrogen bonding > dipole-dipole > London dispersion

300

When you put a typically insoluble compound in water, why does it not dissolve? (Hint: it has to do with IMFs!)

The ionic bond is stronger than the possible ion-dipole interaction with water. The ionic bond is too strong to break.


300

Which of these molecules can exhibit dipole–dipole interactions: CO₂, H₂O, CH₄, NH₃?

H2O and NH3

They are both polar (a dipole moment is present). CO2 and CH4 are nonpolar, so they are unable to form dipole-dipole interactions.

300

What are the exact requirements for hydrogen bonding to occur? Think of examples of when it DOESNT occur to help.

1. Must be a dipole moment between hydrogen and O, F, or N. 

2. O, F, or N must have a lone pair for the hydrogen to interact with

3. The H must already be covalently bonded to O, F, or N (ex: NH3 is bonded to N, can form a hydrogen bond, but CH3 won't because no hydrogens are already bonded to O, F, or N)

300

Which of these two molecules will have a higher IMF.

CH4, C6H12

C6H12

Both have only London dispersion; C6H12 has a larger molecular weight

300

Determine the intermolecular forces present in the following compound: CH₃Br

London-dispersion, dipole-dipole

400

Determine which of the following is an ionic bond: NH3, CaO, H2, CO2, PCl3

CaO

Ca2+ and O2-

400

Will a dipole-dipole interaction occur between the following molecules: CH4 and CH4? Why or why not?

No, CH4 is nonpolar

400

Which can form hydrogen bonds: HF, CH₃OH, CH₄, or H₂S?

HF and CH3OH

400

True or false: London dispersion is the only IMF in nonpolar molecules

True

400

Determine the intermolecular forces in the following compound: CH₃CH₂CH₂OH

London dispersion, hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole

500

Which of the following would result in an ion-dipole interaction: CO2 and C6H6, CH3OH and HCl, HCl and CH4?

CH3OH and HCl

500

Which pair of molecules exhibits dipole–dipole interactions? Explain why.

CO2 and CH3

N2 and O2

SO2 and SO2

SO2 and SO2, both are polar molecules

500

Predict which compound has the strongest : C7H8O, C6H4(OH)2, C6H5OH

C6H4(OH)2

It has two hydrogen bonds vs C6H5OH which only has one and C7H8O which has none. Higher IMF = higher boiling point.

500

Rank these molecules from highest to lowest vapor pressure: CH₄, C₃H₈, and C₈H₁₈

CH4 > C3H8 > C8H18

Weaker IMFs = higher vapor pressure, only London dispersion is present, so higher MW = stronger IMFs
