Interpretation:
The predominant molecular force present in
Concept Introduction:
Intermolecular forces in a molecule are the important factor which is responsible for the physical changes of the molecule.
The intermolecular forces in gases are negligibly small and the forces are comparatively stronger in liquids and the intermolecular forces are highest in solids.
The stronger the intermolecular forces, closer will be the molecules in contact and thus higher will be the boiling point and melting point of the substance.
Three types of intermolecular forces:
- London dispersion (Induced dipole-induced dipole forces)
- Dipole-dipole
- Hydrogen bonding
(b)
Interpretation:
The predominant molecular force present in liquid

- Predict which liquid—glycerol, HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH, or hexane, C6H14—has the greater surface tension. Explain your prediction.arrow_forwardDefine the following terms and describe how each depends on the strength of the intermolecular forces. a. surface tension b. viscosity c. melting point d. boiling point e. vapor pressurearrow_forwardDefine critical temperature and critical pressure. In terms of the kinetic molecular theory, why is it impossible for a substance to exist as a liquid above its critical temperature?arrow_forward
- The normal boiling point of SO2 is 263.1 K and that of NH3 is 239.7 K. At −40 °C, would you predict that ammonia has a vapor pressure greater than, less than, or equal to that of sulfur dioxide? Explain.arrow_forwardOn the basis of intermolecular attractions, explain the differences in the boiling points of n butane (1 C) and chloroethane (12 C), which have similar molar masses.arrow_forwardDefine the following and give an example of each: (a) dispersion force (b) dipole-dipole attraction (c) hydrogen bondarrow_forward
- What are intermolecular forces? How do they differ from intramolecular forces? What are dipole-dipole forces? How do typical dipole-dipole forces differ from hydrogen bonding interactions? In what ways are they similar? What are London dispersion forces? How do typical London dispersion forces differ from dipole-dipole forces? In what ways are they similar? Describe the relationship between molecular size and strength of London dispersion forces. Place the major types of intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength. Is there some overlap? That is, can the strongest London dispersion forces be greater than some dipole-dipole forces? Give an example of such an instance.arrow_forwardWhat is the evidence that all neutral atoms and molecules exert attractive forces on each other?arrow_forward
