100

Determine the polarity AND shape of CH4

Nonpolar; Tetrahedral

100

Which is stronger: intermolecular forces or intramolecular forces? For whoever you choose give an example.

Intramolecular: Covalent, Ionic, Metallic.

100

Can a molecule of O2 have a dipole moment?

No it cannot. There is not an electronegativity difference between the two atoms. 

100

In a mixture of all molecules, which intermolecular force is always present.

LDF

100

Define intramolecular forces AND give an example of it (through a drawing)

The forces that holder atoms together within a molecule. 


200

Determine the polarity AND shape for NH3

Trigonal pyramidal and polar

200

List the three intermolecular forces in order from weakest to strongest.

LDF

Dipole/dipole

Hydrogen bonding

200

Which IMF is created due to the constant motion of electrons creating temporary dipole moments?

London Dispersion Force

200

Which IMF is responsible for water's properties of high surface tension, cohesion, and adhesion?

Hydrogen bonding

200

Define intermolecular forces and give an example of it (through a drawing)

The forces that mediates interaction between molecules.


300

Determine the shape AND polarity of CH3I

Tetrahedral and polar

300
List out the three elements that hydrogen must be bonded with to indicate hydrogen bonding.

Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine

300

What is the strongest IMF in H2O?

Hydrogen bonding

300

Why does PF5 have no permanent dipole even though Fluorine is the most electronegative element on the periodic table?

The molecule is symmetrical so individual dipoles cancel out. 

300

Draw a dipole moment for a molecule of HCl, make sure to label the partial positive and negative ends.


400

Determine the shape AND polarity of CO2

Linear and nonpolar

400

Arrange the following molecules from strongest to weakest:

BeF2, H2O, CH3Br

 H2O - hydrogen bonding

CH3Br - dipole/dipole

BeF- LDF


400

If a molecule is perfectly symmetrical and has no lone pairs on the central atom, what is the strongest IMF?

London Dispersion Forces

400
Who would have a higher boiling point: NH3 or PH3? Explain WHY

NH3 due to hydrogen bonding

400

Draw a dipole moment for NO. Make sure to label the partial positive and negative ends.

500

Determine shape AND polarity of COCl2


Trigonal planar and polar

500

What IMF can these two molecules participate in?

PH3

BF3

London Dispersion Forces

500

What IMF can these two molecules participate in?

Dipole dipole, Acetone can not participate in hydrogen bonding 

500

Arrange the following molecules in terms of weakest to strongest: CH3NOH, CH3OOH, CH3I

CH3I <  CH3NOH < CH3OOH

500

If your lewis structure has lone pairs on the central atom then it is __________ and ___________.

Asymmetrical; polar
