Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.47 Types of Intermolecular Forces skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

NaCl dissolves readily in water but not in hexane. Which particle-level explanation best matches the force types?

AWater is nonpolar and forms London dispersion forces stronger than hexane

BHexane forms hydrogen bonds with Na+ and Cl-, but water does not

CNaCl becomes a nonpolar molecule that can only interact with polar solvents

DWater forms ion-dipole attractions with Na+ and Cl-, while hexane offers mainly dispersion forces

Solution & Explanation:Water is polar and can stabilize separated ions through ion-dipole attractions. Hexane is nonpolar and cannot provide comparable ion-dipole stabilization.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which force set is most complete for interactions among ethanol molecules in pure liquid ethanol?

AHydrogen bonding only, because stronger forces replace all weaker forces

BIon-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonding only

CLondon dispersion forces, dipole-dipole attractions, and hydrogen bonding

DLondon dispersion forces only, because ethanol contains a hydrocarbon chain

Solution & Explanation:Ethanol molecules have electrons, so dispersion forces are present. They are polar, so dipole-dipole attractions occur, and the O-H group allows hydrogen bonding.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

An amide group near water has both an N-H bond and a C=O oxygen. Which description correctly identifies possible hydrogen-bonding roles?

AOnly the carbon atom can donate a hydrogen bond

BThe N-H can donate a hydrogen bond, and the carbonyl oxygen can accept one

CThe C=O oxygen must donate a hydrogen bond because it has no hydrogen

DNo hydrogen bonding is possible because amides contain carbon

Solution & Explanation:Hydrogen-bond donors provide H bonded to N, O, or F; acceptors provide lone pairs on N, O, or F. An amide N-H can donate, and its carbonyl O can accept.
