Card preview (10)
What type of IMF does non-polar compounds have
London Dispersion forces only
Are nonpolar compounds soluble in water?
No, since water is polar, nonpolar won’t mix (oil & water).
Do nonpolar compounds conduct electricity in water?
No, cannot dissolve in water and no charges.
What are the melting/boiling points of nonpolar compounds?
usally low but if the compound is really large like wax it will have a higher mp/bp
What states can nonpolar compounds exist in at room temp?
Gas, liquid, or solid
What type of IMF do polar compounds have?
Dipole - dipole sometimes hydrogen bonds LDF
Are polar compounds soluble in water?
Yes, because water is polar and can form dipole–dipole or H-bonds.
Do polar compounds conduct electricity in water?
No because there is no ions/ charge for the electricity to flow
What are the melting/boiling points of polar compounds?
Medium to high because of dipole-dipole and sometimes hydrogen bonds but not as strong as ionic bonds
What states can polar compounds exist in at room temp?
Solid, liquid, or gas
