- Dipole-Dipole
- London Dispersion Forces
- Hydrogen Bonding
Descriptions of the Intermolecular Forces:
Dipole-Dipole: Electrostatic attraction between the positive end of one molecule and the negative end of another.
London Dispersion: Because electrons are constantly moving, one end of a non-polar molecule is either temporarily positive or negative. Temporary dipoles are created, and two non-polar molecules may attract each other. Dispersion forces act on all molecules.
Hydrogen Bonding: Temporary bond forms between an H atom of a molecule and a N, O, or F atom of another molecule.
Great descriptive words Allie! You were bound to be a scientist someday. Because of you I better understand intermolecular forces!
ReplyDeleteGreat job explaining the forces. You explained them very well and detailed. I completely understand. The intermolecular forces are also correct.
ReplyDeleteAllie, the definitions of the intermolecular forces are very thorough and well explained. Also the diagrams are a great depiction of the forces described.
