Polarity and IMFs

Covalent bond is equal sharing of electron. Polar covelent bond is

• unequal sharing of electrons
• different distribution of electrons
• presence of hydrogen bonding
• presence of polar atoms

Define electronegativity

• ability to donate electron
• tendency to lose electron
• tendency to lose electron to its neighbor
• tendency of atom to attract shared electron to itself

• difference in EN value and size
• difference in EN value and charges

Which of the following is FALSE about intermolecular forces between molecules?

• It is also called London or Van Der Waals forces
• Dipole dipole attraction between molecule
• Also due to instantaneous dipole attraction between molecule

• shape and surface area of molecule
• shape and polarity of molecule

The following statement is true for hydrogen bonding EXCEPT

• It is a dipole dipole forces of attraction
• Electronegative element like N, O and F must be present
• Hydogen bonding is stronger than covalent bonding
• ESF attraction bet H atom with lone pair electron from N,O,F
