1

What type of intermolecular forces are due to the attraction between temporary dipoles and their induced temporary dipoles?

London dispersion forces are electrostatic interactions that occur between two nonpolar molecules

2

Which of the following compounds cannot exhibit hydrogen bonding?

CH4 has neither a hydrogen atom bonded to N, O or F nor an electronegative atom having a lone pair of electrons ⇒ This molecule cannot exhibit a hydrogen bond

3

What is the normal boiling point of a liquid?

The normal boiling point is the temperature at which vapor pressure = atmospheric pressure (1 atm)

4

Where on a phase diagram can you find conditions under which only one phase exists?

5

What is the property responsible for the ‘beading up’ of water?

Surface tension is the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid and is therefore responsible for the 'beading up' of water

6

What is the consequence of large intermolecular forces in a substance?
