NaCl is an ionic solid. The Na+ and Cl− ions in NaCl are bonded through an electrostatic force of attraction commonly known as the ionic bond. Water is a polar solvent. The oxygen atom, being more electronegative, attracts the electron cloud toward itself. As the electron cloud is pulled by the oxygen atom, it carries a partial negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms carry a partial positive charge. This partial separation of charges in the water molecule makes it polar. Predict which intermolecular forces contribute the most to the dissolution of NaCl in water.
Answer: Ion-dipole forces
NaCl is an ionic solid. Na+ and Cl− ions are held together by an electrostatic force known as an ion-ion force. A water molecule is polar, and it shows hydrogen bonding. However, the dissolution of NaCl in water occurs as a result of the interaction of Na+ and Cl− with water dipoles.
The negative dipole of water attracts Na+ ions and the positive dipole attracts Cl− ions. Thus, an ion-dipole intermolecular force exists between NaCl and water molecules. Ion-dipole forces play an important role in the dissolution of NaCl in water.
Predict which intermolecular forces contribute the most to the dissolution of NaCl in water?
2. Identify the strongest type of intermolecular forces in acetone, ethanol, water and hexane. (Structures listed on page 15.) Experiment 2 Intermolecular Forces There are three general types of intermolecular forces. All substances exhibit London Dispersion Forces (LDF), and they are generally the weakest of the three types. These London forces are due to the attractions between small, temporary dipoles that arise from the constant, random movement of the electrons in a substance. As molar mass increases, the size of...
A covalent bond is a bond in which electrons are shared between atoms of elements. A covalent bond can be polar or nonpolar. In a nonpolar covalent bond, the bond is between two identical atoms and the electrons are evenly shared between the atoms.In contrast, in a polar covalent bond, the bond is between two nonidentical atoms and the electrons are unevenly shared between the atoms. The uneven sharing of electrons takes place because of the difference in the electronegativity...

Pre-Lab Exercise 2-3 Chemical Bonding One of the more challenging concepts to grasp in chemistry is chemical bonding, a topic that pops up again and again in A&P: We revisit it in cytology, the nervous system, blood, respiration, and digestion-to name just a few First let's do some basics. Use your textbook and this unit to answer the following questions 1. Do metals donate or accept electrons? What do they become after they donate/accept electrons? 2. Do nonmetals donate or...
