This question is a long series of statements that you are asked to identify as being true or false.
00:10
Let's get started.
00:13
The first one is of the forces of attraction between particles, london dispersion forces are the weakest, and covalent bonds are the strongest.
00:25
Well, it's definitely true that in terms of strength, london dispersion forces are the weakest, and covalent bonds are much stronger, but covalent bonds are not forces of attraction between particles, unless you're identifying a atom as a particle, but usually when we talk about dispersion forces and forces similar to it, we are referring to forces between molecules.
00:58
So covalent bonds are not between molecules or particles.
01:01
The next statement is all covalent bonds have approximately the same energy.
01:08
This is false.
01:10
Covalent bonds vary in their energy and strength considerably.
01:16
Statement c.
01:19
London dispersion forces arise because of the attraction of temporary induced dipoles.
01:25
This is by definition what a london dispersion force is.
01:31
A temporary rearrangement of electrons within a.
01:34
Molecule resulting in a temporary dipole that induces a dipole in a neighboring molecule causing an attraction between the two that only exists for a short time.
01:48
So this statement is true.
01:51
Statement d.
01:52
In general, london dispersion forces increase as molecular size increases.
01:58
This is true because as molecular size increases, there are more electrons that can distribute themselves temporarily, resulting in larger partial positive and partial negative charges that occur temporarily.
02:17
Statement e, london dispersion forces occur only between polar molecules.
02:23
They do not occur between non -polar atoms or molecules.
02:30
This is false because london dispersion forces are forces that do occur in all molecules, polar or non -polar, but they are not exclusive to one type or the other.
02:43
Statement f.
02:45
The existence of london dispersion forces accounts for the fact that even small non -polar molecules, such as neon, helium, and hydrogen can be liquefied if the temperature is low enough and the pressure is high enough.
03:00
Yes, this is definitely true.
03:02
It's london dispersion forces that allow us to explain why non -polar gases such as helium, neon, and hydrogen can be liquefied.
03:13
Statement g.
03:14
For non -polar gases at stp, the average kinetic energy of its particles is greater than the force of attraction between the particles.
03:25
Well, it's not correct completely to equate a force of attraction to a kinetic energy, but if we attempt to do so, we would say that the kinetic energy is what allows for the forces of attraction to be overcome.
03:44
Thus, it could be implied that the kinetic energy is greater than the force of attraction.
03:50
Therefore, the kinetic energy keeps the molecules apart, and it stays together as a gas.
03:59
So this would be true.
04:01
Statement h.
04:02
Diple -diple interaction is the attraction between the positive end of one dipole of a molecule and the negative end of another dipole of another molecule.
04:13
Yes, this is by definition what is meant by dipole -dipal forces of attraction.
04:17
There's a partial positive on one molecule, attracted to a partial negative on another molecule.
04:24
Statement i.
04:26
Diple -diple -dipal interactions exist between carbon monoxide, but not between carbon dioxide.
04:35
Well, i say this is true.
04:39
I know the book, for some reason, has the answer as false, and i'm not quite sure why...
