A.

Summary Introduction

To describe: The similarities and differences between van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bond.

Concept introduction: Hydrogen bond is formed when a positively charged H atom held in one molecule by a polar covalent linkage comes close to a negatively charged atom belonging to another molecule. Van der Waals bond is a weak, short range, attractive force that forms because of the random distributions of electrons in an atom or molecule, which is not symmetrical and leads to a dipole.

B. (a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether hydrogen bond or van der Waals’ bond forms between two hydrogens bound to carbon atoms.

Concept introduction: Hydrogen bond is formed when a positively charged H atom held in one molecule by a polar covalent linkage comes close to a negatively charged atom belonging to another molecule. Van der Waals bond is a weak, short range, attractive force that forms because of the random distributions of electrons in an atom or molecule, which is not symmetrical and leads to a dipole.

B. (b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether hydrogen bond or van der Waals’ bond form between a nitrogen atom and hydrogen bound to carbon atom.

Concept introduction: Hydrogen bond is formed when a positively charged H atom held in one molecule by a polar covalent linkage comes close to a negatively charged atom belonging to another molecule. Van der Waals bond is a weak, short range, attractive force that forms because of the random distributions of electrons in an atom or molecule, which is not symmetrical and leads to a dipole.

B. (c)

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether hydrogen bond or van der Waals’ bond form between a nitrogen atom and hydrogen bound to an oxygen atom.

Concept introduction: Hydrogen bond is formed when a positively charged H atom held in one molecule by a polar covalent linkage comes close to a negatively charged atom belonging to another molecule. Van der Waals bond is a weak, short range, attractive force that forms because of the random distributions of electrons in an atom or molecule, which is not symmetrical and leads to a dipole.
