Intermolecular Forces Vocabulary
Cards in this deck (12)
- 1Intramolecular forcethe combination of attractive and repulsive electrical forces between pairs of electrons within a molecule
- 2Intermolecular forcesthe forces that act between molecules and ions
- 3Van der Waals forcesRelatively weak electric forces that attract neutral molecules to one another in gases, as well as in almost all organic liquids and solids
- 4(London) dispersion forcesAn intermolecular force between molecules caused by the presence of temporary dipoles in the molecules
- 5Temporary dipoleThe separation of charge produced in an atom or molecule by a momentary uneven distribution of electrons
- 6Dipole-dipole interactionAn attractive force between polar molecules
- 7Dipole-induced dipole interactionAn attraction between a polar molecule and the oppositely charged pole it temporarily induces in another molecule
- 8Condensed phasesSolids and liquids; called condensed phases because their particles are close together
- 9Induced dipoleThe separation of a charge produced in an atom or molecule by a momentary uneven distribution of electrons
- 10Ion-dipole interactionAn attractive force between an ion and a molecule that has a permanent dipole
- 11Sphere of hydrationA cluster of water molecules surrounding an ion in an aqueous solution
- 12Hydrogen bondThe strongest dipole-dipole interaction; occurs between a hydrogen atom bonded to a small, highly electronegative element (O, N, F) and an atom of oxygen or nitrogen in another polar molecule
