1
intermolecular forces
forces of attraction between molecule
2
intramolecular forces
forces that hold atoms together in a molecule
3
Electronegativity
A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons
4
Polar Molecule
molecule with an unequal distribution of charge, resulting in the molecule having a positive end and a negative end
5
Resonance Structures
one of the two or more equally valid electron dot structures of a molecule or polyatomic ion
6
Chemical Bonds are
Intermolecular Forces
7
Dipoles measure
the local electric field observed when centers of negative and positive charges exist
8
Dipoles are
partially positive and partially negative charge in a covalent molecule
9
Dipole moment measures
the total electric field produced by a molecule
10
dipole moment is equal to
the vector sum of all the molecules dipoles
11
most electronegative elements
F, O, N
12
What makes a molecule "polar"
unequal sharing of electrons, containing dipoles
13
Ion-Dipole
an ion and polar molecule
14
Dipole-Dipole

Hydrogen Bond (Dipole-Dipole)
hydrogen bonded dipole-dipole
16
dipole-induced dipole
Dipole molecule and a non polar molecule (with induced dipole)
17
induced dipole-induced dipole
non polar molecule and non polar molecule (both with induced dipoles)
18
Other name for induced dipole-induced dipole
London dispersion force
