Tutorial 1 Inorganic Chemistry

1. This document provides a tutorial on intermolecular forces, listing questions about the types of forces that operate between different molecules and the forces that must be overcome to convert substances between liquid and gas states. 2. It asks about the term "polarizability" and how it relates to intermolecular forces, explaining the difference between induced and permanent dipoles. 3. Several questions provide molecular examples and ask the reader to explain differences in properties like melting/boiling points based on the intermolecular forces between the molecules.

Tutorial 1
Intermolecular Force

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.
7. Ammonia is both a donor and acceptor of hydrogen in hydrogen bonding
formation. Draw a diagram to show the hydrogen bonding of an ammonia
molecule with two other ammonia molecules.
8. Arrange the following compounds in order of increasing boiling point: RbF, CO 2,
CH3OH, CH3Br. Explain your arrangement.
9. Diethyl ether has a boiling point of 34.5C, and 1-butanol has a boiling point of
117C. Both compounds are isomers. Explain the difference in boiling points.
10. Identify the type(s) of intermolecular forces present in each substance and then
select from each pair the one that has the higher boiling point:
a. C3H8 or C4H10
b. sulfur dioxide or sulfur trioxide
c. Cl2CO or H2CO
