13 cards from this deck
Weak attractive forces between molecules from temporary dipoles
London dispersion forces
Uneven electron distribution/movement
One end δ-, other end δ+ due to electron movement
Temporary dipole causing induced dipoles in nearby molecules
Larger molecules = stronger forces
Stronger London forces = higher boiling points (more energy to overcome)
How easily electron cloud can be distorted
Higher polarisability = stronger forces
O2O_2O2 higher: more electrons, stronger forces
Increases down group: F2F_2F2 < Cl2Cl_2Cl2 < Br2Br_2Br2 < I2I_2I2
All atoms and molecules
Instantaneous/very short time
