Within a single water molecule (H₂O), the atoms are held together by polar covalent bonds, where oxygen shares electrons with hydrogen but retains a partial negative charge, creating a dipole. Between two different water molecules, hydrogen bonds form due to the attraction between the partially positive hydrogen atoms of one molecule and the partially negative oxygen atom of another. This intermolecular bonding is weaker than the covalent bonds within the molecule but is crucial for water's unique properties.

What is a left handed molecule?

A left-handed molecule is an enantiomer of another molecule. Enantiomer molecules are those that are mirror images of each other, where the only difference is found on the left or right sides of the structure (hence left or right handed).

What relationship is depicted in the potential energy versus internuclear distance graph?

The potential energy versus internuclear distance graph shows the relationship between the energy of two atoms or molecules as they move closer or farther apart. It illustrates how the potential energy changes as the distance between the nuclei of the atoms or molecules changes.


Why is the absorbance versus concentration curve rarely straight?

The absorbance versus concentration curve is rarely straight because the relationship between absorbance and concentration is not always linear. Factors such as non-linear interactions between molecules, chemical reactions, and instrumental limitations can cause the curve to be curved instead of straight.

Do lighter molecules move faster than heavy ones?

If you are comparing the same gas molecules at the same temperature, then the answer is no. They collide more frequently, but only because they are closer than those that are separated by greater distances. The speed of gas molecules is related to their molecular mass and absolute temperature, not their intermolecular distance. If two different gas molecules (O2 versus H2) are at the same temperature, the lighter one (H2) moves faster. If we compare identical gas molecules (such as O2) at different temperatures, the molecule at the higher temperature moves faster. What happens to gas molecules that are closer together? Well, if the temperature is cool enough, they will attract each other until they stick together. Eventually enough of them will stick together to form a liquid. They still move, but most of them are not fast enough to separate from each other.
