1
New cards

What is a hydrogen bond ?

Hydrogen bonded to something very electronegative, Flourine , Oxygen or Chlorine

2
New cards

What are London forces ?

Charges due to random electron movement cause weak electrostatic attractions between atoms and molecules.

3
New cards

How will London forces be more instantaneous?

The more electrons there are

4
New cards

What 3 factors affect the strength of London forces ?

  1. Larger molecule = stronger forces due to larger electron cloud

  2. Long and straight = stronger forces as electrons can lie closer so they interact more

  3. Branched molecules = weaker forces as electrons can get close together

5
New cards

What is the relationship between London forces and boiling points ?

The stronger the London Forces , the greater the boiling point of a compound

6
New cards

What are dipole-dipole interactions?

Attraction between 2 polar molecules
