what feature of a soap molecule gives it its cleaning ability? ans a,b,c or d a) a very strong electrostatic attraction from hydrogen bonding b) it has a hexagonal molecular structure, which acts as tiny brushes as the soap molecule is moved back and forth c) it has one part that is polar and is soluble in water and one part that is nonpolar and is soluble in oil d) the soap molecule adds electrons to oily dirt, which cause it to slide away.
1. Which of the following would you expect to have the higher melting point? Explain why.
How do chemists predict the shapes of molecules? A. Due to the attraction between electrons, valence electrons will be arranged as close to each other aspossible. B. Due to the repulsion between electrons, valence electrons will be arranged as far apart from eachother as possible. C. Due to the repulsion between electrons, valence electrons will be arranged as close to each other aspossible. D. Chemists can't predict the shape of molecules, because the attractive forces between valenceelectrons are unpredictable.
Which would you predict to have a higher melting point, HI or KI? Why? ? Please list the actual melting point values. Did your prediction agree Yes or No?
Fajan’s third rule states that cations that do not have a noble gas configuration are more likely to have a more covalent character to their bonding. Explain this trend using the electron configurations for potassium ion vs silver ion and how the covalent character of one of those salts would affect the relative melting points of the chloride salts of each compound (i.e would there be a difference in the melting points)
1.The prediction of melting point rank can be useful when discussing the different applications of substances. Rank the following 4 substances from highest to lowest melting point. Include your reasoning for your rank based on intermolecular forces of attraction and support your reasoning with Lewis structures. Ammonia, NH₃, Magnesium oxide, MgO, Sodium oxide, Na₂O, Carbon dioxide, CO₂
1. A) All molecules have hydrogen bonding intermolecular forces (IMF) acting upon them a) True b) False B) The dipole moment measures the size of the atom a) True b) False C) Valence electrons are found in the lowest principle quantum number from the electron configurations a) True b) False D) The strongest the intermolecular force present, the highest the boiling point will be. a) True b) False
(a) dispersion force Dispersion forces are (Very weak),(Very strong) electrostatic attractions that occur due to the random electronic motion within all substances,(excluding),(including) those that are nonpolar. When the electrons within a molecule or atom are distributed asymmetrically about the nucleus, that molecule or atom will adopt a (temporary),(permanent), (induced),(instantaneous) dipole. The presence of this dipole can then distort the electrons of a neighboring atom or molecule, producing an (induced),(instantaneous) dipole. These two rapidly fluctuating dipoles thus result in a brief electrostatic (attraction),(Repulsion) between the two species. These forces are stronger in (Larger and heavier),(Smaller and lighter) atoms and molecules. For example, dispersion forces between (Fluorine),(iodine) molecules will be stronger than dispersion forces between (Fluorine),(iodine) molecules. (b) dipole-dipole attraction A dipole-dipole force is the electrostatic attraction…

Why does NH3 have a higher boiling point than BH3?To answer this question, draw out the Lewis structure for each molecule, and then draw out the VSEPR shape for each molecule. Also, Butane is more viscous (has higher intermolecular forces) than ethane. Why?
Consider atoms of helium. The average distribution of electrons around each nucleus is spherically symmetrical. The atoms are nonpolar and possess no dipole moment. At a given instant in time, the distribution of electrons around an individual atom, may not be perfectly symmetrical. Both electrons may be on one side of the nucleus. The atoms would have an apparent dipole moment at that instant in time. This will cause the neighboring atoms to be attracted to one another. What type of intermolecular force is this?
Predict which will have the higher boiling point: ICl or Br2. Explain your reasoning.
