Chapter 13, Problem 32PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Example of nonpolar molecule has to be given. Also, type of intermolecular force for the molecule has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Molecules that have even electrons distributed among the bonded atoms are termed as nonpolar molecules. In nonpolar molecules, bonded atoms have no difference in their electronegativity thus does not possess any charge

Intermolecular forces are those that exist between the molecules that can be force of attraction or repulsion. These forces affect physical properties of molecule. Intermolecular forces are of three types that are as follows:

1 Dipole-dipole interactions

2. Hydrogen bond

3 London dispersion forces
