Term
Polar Molecule
Definition

A molecule in which there is some seperation of charge in the chemical bonds, so that one part of the molecule has a slight positive charge and the other a slight negative charge.

 

Term
Non-Polar Molecule
Definition

Molecule which has no separation of charge, so no positive or negative poles are formed.

Example: CO2, O2

Term
Dispersion Forces
Definition
  • occur mainly in non-polar bonds
  • weakest force of intermolecular attraction
  • strength depends upon the total # of E in the atom.
  • no dipole
  • Non-Polar Molecule
  • Example: H2
Term
Dipole-Dipole interaction
Definition
  • Stronger than dispersion forces
  • Occurs mainly in Polar Bonds
  • Arise due to a strong, permanent dipole
  • Example: HCL --> strong dipole b/c of large difference in EN's
Term

Hydrogen Bonding

Definition
  • Hydrogen covalently bonded to a strongly EN atom
  • Strongest of all intermolecular forces.
  • Strong dipole producing Polar Molecule
  • Example: water (H2O)
Term
Solubility
Definition
Maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent under specific conditions of temp./pressure.
Term
Solute
Definition

Generally the substance present in smaller amounts and is the one that "gets dissolved"

Term

Solvent

Definition
Generally substance present in large amounts into which the solute gets dissolved.
Term
Insoluble
Definition

Substance that cannot dissolve in some solvents.

Example: Fats and Oils do not dissolve in water.
