Concept explainers
Interpretation:The intermolecular forces present in the spilled oil from a pipeline and the pipeline oil have to explain.
Concept Introduction:In molecules having no permanent dipole like hydrocarbons the electronic atmosphere is supposed to be symmetrical. But this is true only on a time average. Rapid and continuous changes in the intensities of charge concentration in the electron atmosphere may give rise to instantaneous and fluctuating dipoles as shown in the figure. These dipoles may induce further dipoles on adjacent molecules. The resulting weak short range forces are called London Dispersion Forces. The forces increase with increasing polarisibility and hence molar volume among comparable species. Usually these are related to molecular weight but the polarisibility is always important in this force of attraction.

EBK CHEMISTRY FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS,
- hat is meant by the term driving forces? Why are mailer spread and energy spread considered to be driving forces?arrow_forwardAre changes in state physical or chemical changes? Explain. What type of forces must be overcome to melt or vaporize a substance (are these forces intramolecular or intermolecular)? Define the molar heat of fusion and molar heat of vaporization. Why is the molar heat of vaporization of water so much larger than its molar heat of fusion? Why does the boiling point of a liquid vary with altitude?arrow_forwardHalothane, which had been used as an anesthetic, has the molecular formula CHBrClCF3. Write the Lewis structure for halothane. Is halothane a polar molecule? Explain your answer. Can hydrogen bonding occur in halothane? Explain.arrow_forward
- Consider the iodine monochloride molecule, ICI. Because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, this molecule is a dipole. How would you expect iodine monochloride molecules in the gaseous state to orient themselves with respect to each other as the sample is cooled and the molecules begin to aggregate? Sketch the orientation you would expect.arrow_forwardSome ionic compounds contain a mixture of different charged cations. For example, some titanium oxides contain a mixture ofTi2+ and Ti3+ ions. Consider a certain oxide of titanium that is 28.3 1% oxygen by mass and contains a mixture ofTi2+ and Ti3+ ions. Determine the formula of the compound and the relative numbers ofTi2+ and Ti3+ ions.arrow_forwardWhat types of forces exist between the individual particles in an ionic solid? Are these threes relatively strong or relatively weak?arrow_forward
- Hydrogen bonding occurs between O oxygen atoms of different water molecules hydrogen and oxygen of the same water molecule a hydrogen on one water molecule and an oxygen on another water molecule O hydrogen atoms of different water moleculesarrow_forwardThe lattice constant of diamond is 0.3567 nm. What is the angle between two bonds of a carbon atom in the diamond crystal?arrow_forwardDefine valency by taking examples of silicon and sulphur?arrow_forward
- Chemistry The boiling point of a group 4A binary hydrogen compound is CH4-162°C. SiH4- 112°C, GeH4-88°C, SnH4-52°C. Explain why the boiling point increases from CH4 to SnH4arrow_forwardExplain each of these properties of water, and describe how each is conferred by the dipolar nature of a water molecule: high specific heat capacity; high heat of vaporization; unique density behavior; high surface tension; capacity to be a good solvent for ions of salts.arrow_forwardThe OH covalent bond has a very high bond energy of about 463 kJ / mol. The electrostatic bond of the hydrogen bond has an energy between 10 and 40 kJ / mol. Although the hydrogen bond is relatively weak compared to the covalent bonds, it is stronger than the Van der Waals interactions and plays among other things a primordial role in the biological systems and on the physicochemical properties of water. (as heard in the 1st audio) Thus the consequences of the existence of strong hydrogen bonds are remarkable on the temperatures of change of state of water compared to compounds of similar structure. According to the following graph, 2- What are these values for water? What is the temperature range of existence of liquid water at normal pressure (1 atm)? What would these values be if the water molecule were not also polar (Extrapolate by following the dotted lines)? 100 °C 60 boiling point H2O 20 -20 H2Se H2S H,Te -60 freezing point -80 40 80 g/moi 160 masse molaire températurearrow_forward
