Tutorial 4

This document contains a tutorial on intermolecular forces with 10 questions. It asks students to: 1) Identify the types of intermolecular forces present in different molecules and substances. 2) Explain factors that affect the strength of intermolecular forces such as polarizability and permanent vs induced dipoles. 3) Rationalize differences in boiling points of substances based on the types and strengths of intermolecular forces between their molecules.

1. State the type of intermolecular forces that operate in:
a. all molecules
b. polar molecules
c. hydrogen atom bonded with fluorine and similar molecules nearby
d. metal salt in aqueous solution
2. State the type of intermolecular forces that needs to be overcome to convert
these substances from liquid to gas:
a. SO2
b. CH3COOH
c. H2S
3.
a. Explain the term polarisability.
b. What kind of molecules have high polarisability?
c. What is the relationship between polarisability with intermolecular forces?
4. Explain the difference between induced dipole and permanent dipole.
5. The compounds Br2 and ICl have the same number of electrons, yet Br 2 melts at
-7.2C, whereas ICl melts at 27.2C. Explain.
6. The binary hydrogen compounds of Group 4A elements are CH 4 (-162C), SiH4
(-112C), GeH4 (-88C), and SnH4 (-52C). The temperatures given are the
corresponding boiling points. Explain the increase of boiling points from CH 4 to
SnH4.

formation. Draw a diagram to show the hydrogen bonding of an ammonia
molecule with two other ammonia molecules.
