Intermolecular and Intramolecular Forces

This set of flashcards covers the differences between intramolecular and intermolecular forces, boiling point trends in halogens, and the specific dipole characteristics of Itanol and ITIN ($$C_2H_2$$).

Chlorine and Bromine Boiling Point Trend

Bromine has a higher boiling point than Chlorine because Bromine has more electrons.

Itanol Intermolecular Forces

Itanol has permanent dipole forces because electrons are attracted to Oxygen and do not cancel out, meaning the dipole moment is not $0$.

ITIN ($C_2H_2$) Intermolecular Forces

ITIN has temporary dipole (Van der Waals) forces because the pulls are equal and cancel out, making the dipole moment equal to $0$.

Intramolecular Attraction

The chemical bonds formed within a molecule, such as covalent or ionic bonds.

Three Categories of Intermolecular Attraction

Permanent dipole, temporary dipole, and hydrogen bonding.
