  • What are intermolecular forces?
    Intermolecular forces are attractive forces between molecules that influence properties like taste, shape of liquids, and states of matter.
  • Name the four fundamental types of intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength.
    Dispersion force, dipole–dipole force, hydrogen bond, and ion–dipole force.
  • What causes dispersion forces?
    Dispersion forces arise from fluctuations in electron distribution within atoms or molecules, creating instantaneous dipoles.
  • How does molar mass affect dispersion forces?
    Dispersion forces increase with increasing molar mass because larger electron clouds polarize more easily.
  • What is the dipole–dipole force?
    An attractive force between permanent dipoles in polar molecules, where positive ends attract negative ends of neighboring molecules.
  • Which molecules exhibit hydrogen bonding?
    Polar molecules with hydrogen bonded directly to fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen, such as HF, NH3, and H2O.
  • Why does water have a high boiling point relative to its molar mass?
    Because of strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules, requiring more energy to break.
  • What are ion–dipole forces?
    Attractive forces between ions and polar molecules, important in solutions of ionic compounds in polar solvents like water.
  • How do intermolecular forces affect the state of matter?
    Stronger intermolecular forces favor solids or liquids by holding molecules close; weaker forces favor gases with molecules far apart.
  • Describe molecular arrangement and movement in solids, liquids, and gases.
    Solids: tightly packed, vibrate in place; Liquids: close but flow past each other; Gases: far apart, move freely.
  • What is melting and freezing in terms of physical changes?
    Melting: solid to liquid, endothermic; Freezing: liquid to solid, exothermic; both are physical changes.
  • Define evaporation and condensation.
    Evaporation: liquid to gas, endothermic; Condensation: gas to liquid, exothermic; both are physical changes.
  • How to determine if a molecule has dipole–dipole forces?
    Check if molecule has polar bonds and if their dipoles add to a net dipole moment (molecule is polar).
  • What is miscibility?
    The ability of liquids to mix without separating; polar liquids are miscible with polar liquids, nonpolar with nonpolar.
  • What is a solution, solvent, and solute?
    Solution: homogeneous mixture; Solvent: majority component; Solute: minority component dissolved in solvent.
  • What are electrolytes and nonelectrolytes?
    Electrolytes produce ions in solution and conduct electricity; nonelectrolytes dissolve as molecules and do not conduct electricity.
  • Define molarity and its formula.
    Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution; it measures solution concentration.
  • How does a solid dissolve in water?
    Solvent–solute attractions overcome solute–solute and solvent–solvent attractions, allowing solute particles to disperse.
  • What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated solutions?
    Saturated contains maximum dissolved solute; adding more causes precipitate. Unsaturated can dissolve more solute.
  • How to calculate molarity from grams of solute and volume of solution?
    Convert grams to moles using molar mass, then divide moles by liters of solution.
