nonpolar covalent

New cards
2

If a molecule has a electronegativity difference of 0.4-1.7, what type of compound is it

polar covalent

6

What happens to electrons in a covalent bond

  • Electrons are shared between two atoms

New cards
7

What happens to electrons in a ionic bond

they are transferred

New cards
8

What type of elements is a covalent bond formed betweem

A covalent bond is formed between nonmetal elements.

New cards
9

How do you know which atom should be in the center when drawing lewis diagrams

the least electronegative

New cards
10

Which compound is most liekly to form a compound between each other A.aluminum and oxygen

B. magnesium and iodine

C. sulfur and fluoride

D. potasium and lithium

E. barium and bromine

C.

New cards
11

Which bonds would be considered covalent

  1. H-S

  2. Al-S

  3. N-F

1 and 3

New cards
12

A double bond consists of how many pairs of shared electrons

2

New cards
13

How can you use electronegativity to predict the bond type?

The greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond.

New cards
14

Why does a greater difference in electronegativity cause a more polar bond?

A bigger difference in electronegativity means that one atom is able to hog electrons for longer, creating a charge imbalance (partial-charge). The more electronegative atom would be slightly negative and less would be slightly positive

New cards
15

Are inter or intra moleculer forces stronger

Intramolecular forces like ionic and covalent bonds are stronger then intermolecular forces.

New cards
16

What is the order of bond strength

ionic bonds, covalent bonds, hydrogen, dipole-dipole, london dispersion

New cards
17

How strong is a london dispersion force

Weak

New cards
18

What type of molecules use London Dispersion forces?

all molecules

New cards
19

What happens to electrons in a london dispersion force

due to the constant motion of electrons they occasionally end up all on one side of the molecule creating a temporary dipole.

New cards
20

How does size of a molecule relate to the strengh of london forces

Bigger mass= stronger forces

New cards
21

are london dispersion forces temporary or permanent.

Temporary. They are caused by the movement of electrons, which creates temporary dipoles in molecules.

New cards
22

are dipole-dipole forces temporary or permanent

permanent

New cards
23

What causes dipole-dipole forces

A molecule being unbalances. There could be a pair of lone electrons, or the difference in electronegativity is very high between atoms in the molecule.

New cards
24

How does a dipole-dipole affect the interactions between molecules?

A charge inbalnece means that one side of the molecule is slightly positive while the other side is slightly negative. Thus two different molecules are attracted to each other so that the positive side of one molecule is attracted to the negative side of the other.

New cards
25

What are the four elements can be involved in a hydrogen bond

  • Nitrogen (N)

  • Oxygen (O)

  • Fluorine (F)

  • Hydrogen (H)

New cards
26

What is the trend for boiling point

Stronger intermolecular force=higher boiling point

New cards
27

What is the order of boiling point trends between the different bonds, highest to lowest

Ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole, london dispersion.

New cards
28

What do weak dipole-dipole forces result in?

a lower melting point

New cards
29

A hydrogen bond is _________ (stronger/weaker) than a London Dispersion force and (stronger/weaker) than an ionic bond

stronger, stronger

New cards
30

Without London Dispersion Forces most nonpolar compounds would be a_______ at room temperature

gas
