∙ 14y agoThere are several intermolecular forces in water. However, by far the most significant force is hydrogen bonds, which are a type of dipole-dipole force. Hydrogen bonds exist between a hydrogen on one molecule of oxygen and the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen in another water molecule.

∙ 9y agoA special type of intermolecular force exists between water molecules called hydrogen bonding which raises its boiling point significantly with respect to its isovalent homologs. Hydrogen is unique among the elements because it has a single electron which is also a valence electron.

∙ 12y agoParticles in liquid state does not hav intermolecular forces that are as strong as that in solid state, neither are the attractive forces as weak as those in gaseous state. The particles are free to move abt but still are attracted by intermolecular forces. This explains why liq has fixed vol but no fixed shape.

What are the intermolecular forces of glycerol?
Glycerol have hydrogen bonds,but this intermolecular forces are slightly weaker than in water
Does CH3CH2OH and H2O contain similar intermolecular forces?
When CH3CH2OH and H2O are mixed together to form a homogenous solution, CH3CH2OH forms additional hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
What happens to the hydrogen bonds when water is melted?
Nothing. Hydrogen bonds are very strong. When ice is melted, only weak intermolecular forces of attraction that exist between H2O molecules will be broken.
What kinds of intermolecular forces are present in a mixture of calcium bromide and water?
Coulombic (electrostatic) forces, mostly for the calcium and bromide ions. Hydrogen bonding for the water molecules.
What is binding buffer?
It contain acetate and chaotrope. It disrupts the intermolecular forces between water molecules,allowing proteins and other macromolecules to dissolve more easily.
What are the intermolecular forces of glycerol?
Glycerol have hydrogen bonds,but this intermolecular forces are slightly weaker than in water
How do intermolecular forces determine a substance's state?
If the intermolecular forces are great enough they can hold the molecules together as a liquid. If they are even stronger they will hold the molecules together as a solid. Water has nearly the same mass as methane and ammonia molecules, but the greater molecular forces between water molecules causes the water to be liquid at room temperature, while ammonia and methane, with weaker intermolecular forces, are gases at room temperature.
what are liquids mobile?
Liquids are mobile because the intermolecular forces between their molecules are weak enough to allow the molecules to move around relative to one another. These intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction between the molecules, and they are what hold the molecules together in a liquid. However, the intermolecular forces in liquids are not as strong as the intermolecular forces in solids, so the molecules in a liquid are able to move around more easily. This is why liquids can flow and take the shape of their container. The strength of the intermolecular forces in a liquid depends on the type of liquid. For example, water has strong intermolecular forces because the molecules of water are polar, meaning that they have a positive end and a negative end. This polarity allows the water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with each other, which are very strong intermolecular forces. As a result, water is a very mobile liquid, but it is not as mobile as a gas, such as air. The mobility of a liquid can also be affected by temperature. As the temperature of a liquid increases, the molecules of the liquid move faster and the intermolecular forces become weaker. This is why liquids become more mobile as they heat up. For example, water at room temperature is a liquid, but it becomes a gas when it is heated to 100 degrees Celsius.visit- In conclusion, liquids are mobile because the intermolecular forces between their molecules are weak enough to allow the molecules to move around relative to one another. The strength of the intermolecular forces in a liquid depends on the type of liquid and the temperature of the liquid.
Are the melting point of water the dispersion of molecules?
Melting involve that intermolecular forces are weakened.
Does CH3CH2OH and H2O contain similar intermolecular forces?
When CH3CH2OH and H2O are mixed together to form a homogenous solution, CH3CH2OH forms additional hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
What type of intermolecular force is found in water molecules in ice?
weak intermolecular forces because dry ice with sublime
Explain why oil does not dissolve in water.?
The main intermolecular forces between water molecules are hydrogen bonds which are pretty strong as far as intermolecular forces go. Between hydrocarbon chains (oil) the main intermolecular force are London force which are weaker. For two liquids to be miscible the intermolecular forces between them have to be similar in strength or they won't dissolve. Water and oil have different strengths of intermolecular bonds so don't mix.
What causes of the water to evaporate?
The intermolecular forces between water molecules are lowered at the water surface and some molecules escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation is increased by temperature.
What is responsible for holding water molecules together in the liquid state?
The main intermolecular force holding water molecules together in hydrogen bonding. Also, there are diplole-dipole interactions and London dispersion forces. But hydrogen bonds are the major force keeping water in the liquid state.
What is the most important type of intermolecular forces between molecules in a sample of pure water?
Hydrogen bonding
What happens to the hydrogen bonds when water is melted?
Nothing. Hydrogen bonds are very strong. When ice is melted, only weak intermolecular forces of attraction that exist between H2O molecules will be broken.
Why does water vapor rise when liquid water is heated by the sun?
By heating the intermolecular forces are weakened and liquid molecules can escape as a gas.
