Chapter 15, Problem 15.2TC

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether the statement “induced dipole forces are present only with nonpolar molecules” is true or false is to be stated. In case of false statement, the correct statement is to be written.

Concept introduction:

There are three types of interactions through which the molecules are stabilized. They are hydrogen-bonding interactions, the dipole-dipole interactions and the induced dipole interactions. These interactions influence the properties of the compounds like boiling point, melting point and so on.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the statement “all other things being equal, hydrogen bonds are stronger than dipole-dipole forces” is true or false is to be stated. In case of false statement, the correct statement is to be written.

Concept introduction:

There are three types of interactions through which the molecules are stabilized. They are hydrogen-bonding interactions, the dipole-dipole interactions and the induced dipole interactions. These interactions influence the properties of the compounds like boiling point, melting point and so on.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Whether the statement “polar molecules have a net electrical charge” is true or false is to be stated. In case of false statement, the correct statement is to be written.

Concept introduction:

There are three types of interactions through which the molecules are stabilized. They are hydrogen-bonding interactions, the dipole-dipole interactions and the induced dipole interactions. These interactions influence the properties of the compounds like boiling point, melting point and so on.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Whether the statement “intermolecular forces are magnetic in character” is true or false is to be stated. In case of false statement, the correct statement is to be written.

Concept introduction:

There are three types of interactions through which the molecules are stabilized. They are hydrogen-bonding interactions, the dipole-dipole interactions and the induced dipole interactions. These interactions influence the properties of the compounds like boiling point, melting point and so on.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

Whether the statement “${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ displays hydrogen bonding, but ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{S}$ does not” is true or false is to be stated. In case of false statement, the correct statement is to be written.
