Chapter 9, Problem 4ALQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The strength of hydrogen bonding and dispersion forces in a substance should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Intermolecular forces:

• The forces involving within the molecule is called intermolecular forces.
• The state of the molecule is depended upon the intermolecular forces.
• The increasing intermolecular forces respect with states of molecule is,

                             gas < liquid < solid

Hydrogen bond:

The weaker bond between electro negative atom of one molecule and hydrogen atom of another molecule is called hydrogen bond.

London Dispersion Forces:

The intermolecular forces of the non polar molecules is called London dispersion forces.

To explain the strength of hydrogen bonding forces and dispersion forces.
