Concept explainers
Interpretation: Among below molecules, molecules that are capable of hydrogen bonding to them should be determined.
Concept introduction: Intermolecular forces are types of forces that are responsible to hold atoms together in molecule. There are various types of intermolecular forces as follows:
1. Hydrogen bonding:
As is evident from its name, these types of forces exist if hydrogen is present. Such forces are present when hydrogen atom bonds with highly electronegative elements like
2. Ion-dipole forces:
This force exists between ion and molecules with dipole moment in them. Attraction exists between ion and oppositely charged end of dipole.
3. Ion-induced dipole forces:
When an ion approaches non-polar molecule, it induces temporary dipole in it. Ion gets attracted towards oppositely charged part of dipole induced in molecule.
4. Dispersion forces:
These forces are also known as induced dipole-induced dipole or van der Waals forces. Such forces are present between various atoms and molecules. These are observed generally in non-polar molecules, halogens, and noble gases.

Organic Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry
- Instructions: Determine and explain the type of intermolecular force of attraction that exists:arrow_forwardConstantS Penodi Table The structures of two hydrocarbon isomers of are shown below: Submit Previous Answers Completed Part B The bottom isomer is expected to have the lower surface tension. Why would this be? Choose the best and most complete answer. The bottom isomer has less electrons so it will have weaker dispersion forces leading to a lower surface tension. O The bottom isomer is compact. The bottom isomer has a smaller surface area to make dispersion forces leading to a lower surface tension. The bottom isomer has a smaller surface area to make hydrogen bonding forces so it has a lower surface tension.arrow_forwardDraw partial charges on the water molecule at the far left, and draw three more water molecules hydrogen-bonded to it.arrow_forward
- I don't know what the answer is in number three. I think that it will either be a and B because dipoles are always going to be temporary in nonpolar. Can you tell me the answer and how do you think about thisarrow_forwardInstructions: Determine and explain the type of intermolecular force of attraction that exists:arrow_forwarda) What term best describes the reason why the paperclip is able to “float” on the surface of the water? b) Explain why the paperclip “floats” and doesn’t sink to the bottom of the glass. Connect this explanation to the term you provide in part a. Your explanation must include a discussion of the relevant chemical bonds and their role in this scenario.arrow_forward
- 1. Besides Hydrogen Bonds and charge-charge interactions, list 3 other types of noncovalent interactions found between molecules.arrow_forwardWe don't see the answer written with a photo or pen, give the answer using the toolarrow_forwardWhich of these molecules has the higher melting point? A B A They have the same melting point because they have the same chemical formula.arrow_forward
- Which of the following pure substances will have hydrogen bonds? Acetone and methanol. Dimethyl ether and methanol. Dimethyl ether. Acetone. Methanol.arrow_forwardLook up the boiling point of benzene and the boiling point of water in and record below. Cite your source. Explain the difference in boiling points using the concept of intermolecular forcesarrow_forwardPick which of the following pairs will have the higher boiling point. Then, determine why. Pick the best choice. (Please see attached image) Which has the higher boiling point? Molecule on the top Molecule on the bottom Both will have the same boiling point Why? it has a bigger molecular weight they both have the same intermolecular forces, but one has a bigger molecular weight its strongest intermolecular force is dipole-dipole forces its strongest intermolecular force is hydrogen bondingarrow_forward
