CHEMISTRY- WEEK 2

COMPOUND TYPE OF STRONGEST TYPE OF REASON FOR

INTRAMOLECULAR INTERMOLECULAR CLASSIFYING
FORCE/CHEMICAL FORCE PRESENT
BOND
1. Hydrogen Covalent bond Hydrogen Bonding The compound exhibits
fluoride hydrogen bonding
because it is a special
type of dipole-dipole
attraction between
molecules which
results from the
attractive force
between a hydrogen
atom covalently
bonded to a
electronegative atom
which is a fluorine
2. Magnesium MgCl2- ionic Ion-Dipole Force The compound exhibits
Chloride in compound ion-dipole force
Water because there is an
Water-Covalent attractive force that
results from
electrostatic attraction
between an ion and a
neutral molecule that
has a dipole.
3. Hydrogen Covalent Compound Dipole-Dipole Force The compound exhibits
Bromide dipole-dipole
interaction because the
molecule is polar
4. Silicon Dioxide Covalent Compound London Dispersion The compound exhibits
forces a London dispersion
force because the
intermolecular forces
in silicon are very week
due to the molecules
being a non-polar and
covalent compound
5. Fluorine Covalent Compound London Dispersion The compound exhibits
Molecule Forces a London dispersion
force because the
intermolecular forces
in fluorine are very
week due to the
molecules being a non-
polar and covalent
 compound

ACTIVITY 5
Water is essential to any living creature - from plants and animals to bacteria. Why is this precious
liquid so important to us? Like most living creatures, humans are mostly made of water. Up to 60%
of an adult’s body is made up of water - That is over a half. Water has many unique properties that is
relevant in our life. One of the unique properties of water is specific heat. Water has a relatively high
specific heat, or heat capacity, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat before its temperature rises. This
trait helps it to stabilize temperature in its surroundings. The water in every cell of the human body
act as a buffer against sudden temperature changes. In addition, the presence of hydrogen bonds also
makes water molecules more 'sticky' or in scientific terms cohesive and adhesive. The small charges on
the water molecules allows them to stick together which is why water has a 'skin' that small insects can
walk on and explains why water can be sucked up a straw so easily. It's not just straws either, plants
draw water up from their roots to the top of the highest leaves without any kind of pumping
mechanism. They rely on the ability of water to form a thin unbroken tube, all the way up the length of
the trunk. Further, water has a high boiling point which means water changes state from solid to
liquid at normal temperature whereas we can be able to drink water There is a reason why water is
called as the universal solvent considering its unique properties and with the help of hydrogen bonding
which is one of the reasons we could be able to survive.
