Are hydrogen bonds formed between all molecules?

A
No because hydrogen can only form these bonds with oxygen atoms.
B
No because hydrogen can only form these bonds with highly electronegative atoms.
C
Yes because hydrogen can easily form bonds with atoms that have a neutral charge.
D
Yes because hydrogen can form these bonds with weakly electronegative atoms.

In the molecule on the left, areas that have a partial negative charge are pink and areas that have a partial positive charge are blue. The molecule on the right is nonpolar. What will most likely happen when these molecules get closer?

Question illustration
A
The molecules will repel each other because of a dipole-dipole interaction.
B
The molecules will attract each other because of a dipole-dipole interaction.
C
An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the right.
D
An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the left.

Which of the following most likely requires intermolecular forces?

A
a spider walking on the bottom of a leaf
B
a rock maintaining its solid shape
C
a koala using claws to hold onto a tree
D
a piece of fruit falling from a branch to the ground
5

Which statement best explains why water has a higher boiling point than ethane?

A
Ethane molecules are smaller than water and can move faster.
B
Water molecules need relatively less heat energy to move.
C
Water molecules form hydrogen bonds, which cannot be broken by heating water.
D
Ethane molecules have no hydrogen bonds and need less energy to separate.
6

7

Substances X and Y are both nonpolar. If the volatility of X is higher than that of Y, what is the best explanation?

A
X’s molecules experience stronger dipole-dipole forces than Y’s molecules.
B
Y’s molecules experience stronger dipole-dipole forces than X’s molecules.
C
X’s molecules experience stronger London dispersion forces than Y’s molecules.
D
Y’s molecules experience stronger London dispersion forces than X’s molecules.

van der Waals forces can best be described as the attractive or repulsive forces that are formed

A
between oppositely charged ions in a crystal.
B
during dipole-dipole interactions between molecules.
C
when molecules move apart in the absence of other forces.
D
by a random, short-lived redistribution of electrons.
9

Which interaction produces dispersive forces by creating temporary dipoles that induce dipoles in other molecules?

A
dipole-dipole
B
hydrogen bonds
C
dipole-induced dipole
D
induced dipole-induced dipole

unpredictable.
C
lower.
