Question
Answer
The attraction and repulsion between molecules, are called [...] forces.   The attraction and repulsion between molecules, are called intermolecular forces.  
🗑
Polar molecules do not share valence electrons [...-li].   Polar molecules do not share valence electrons equally.  
🗑
Unequal electron sharing makes one atom partially [...] and the other partially [...].   Unequal electron sharing makes one atom partially negative and the other partially positive.  
🗑
Polar molecules are sometimes called [...] because they have poles at two (di) ends.   Polar molecules are sometimes called dipoles because they have poles at two (di) ends.  
🗑
Opposite charges [...]; like charges [...].   Opposite charges attract; like charges repel.  
🗑
A '[...] Moment' is not (as the name suggests) a moment. It's a measure of how polar a molecule is.   A 'Dipole Moment' is not (as the name suggests) a moment. It's a measure of how polar a molecule is.  
🗑
Forces of attraction and repulsion between polar molecules are called [...]-[...] forces.   Forces of attraction and repulsion between polar molecules are called dipole-dipole forces.  
🗑
Sometimes non-polar molecules become momentarily [...] because electrons just happen to be on one side.   Sometimes non-polar molecules become momentarily polar because electrons just happen to be on one side.  
🗑
A momentary polarity in an otherwise non-polar molecule can induce [...] in other molecules.   A momentary polarity in an otherwise non-polar molecule can induce polarity in other molecules.  
🗑
The force of attraction due to chance moments of polarity in one molecule (and induced polarity on other molecules) is called [...] (or [...]) force.   The force of attraction due to chance moments of polarity in one molecule (and induced polarity on other molecules) is called Dispersion (or London) force.  
🗑
The [...-er] the molecule, the stronger the Dispersion (aka London) Forces will be.   The larger the molecule, the stronger the Dispersion (aka London) Forces will be.  
🗑
Wax is an example of a large non-polar molecule held together entirely by [...] forces.   Wax is an example of a large non-polar molecule held together entirely by Dispersion (aka London) forces.  
🗑
[...] forces explain why a gecko's feet stick to glass (and other surfaces), and how they can walk on the ceiling.   Dispersion (aka London) forces explain why a gecko's feet stick to glass (and other surfaces), and how they can walk on the ceiling.  
🗑
[...] forces explain why some halogens are liquid or solid at room temperature.   Dispersion (aka London) forces explain why some halogens are liquid or solid at room temperature.  
🗑
'[...] bonds' form between hydrogen atoms and partially negative atoms on adjacent molecules.   Hydrogen bonds' form between hydrogen atoms and partially negative atoms on adjacent molecules.  
🗑
Hydrogen bonds explain why water [...] when it freezes.   Hydrogen bonds explain why water expands when it freezes.  
🗑
Hydrogen bonds create surface [...] in liquid water.   Hydrogen bonds create surface tension in liquid water.  
🗑
dipole-dipole, dispersion, and hydrogen bond forces are collectively called [...] forces.   dipole-dipole, dispersion, and hydrogen bond forces are collectively called Van de Waals forces.  
🗑
Dipoles can also stick to ions. We call the forces of attraction here [...]-[...] forces.   Dipoles can also stick to ions. We call the forces of attraction here ion-dipole forces.  
🗑
Even though chemists have all these names for different Van der Waals forces, these are ALL just examples of electrostatic force: the attraction between [...] electrical charges (and repulsion of [...] charges)   Even though chemists have all these names for different Van der Waals forces, these are ALL just examples of electrostatic force: the attraction between opposite electrical charges (and repulsion of like charges)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
