Indicate which one of the two species in each of the following pairs is smaller: (a) Cl or Cl2; (b) Na or Na1; (c) O22 or S22; (d) Mg21 or Al31; (e) Au1 or Au31.
Bonds Electrostatic: the ability of an object to acquire an electron o Holds matter together o Trend on the Periodic Table: Increases going down the columns Increases going across the rows Phases: solid, liquid, and gas o Spacing between molecules Gas > Solid > Liquid Forces: o London (induced dipole) Every molecule have these forces Very weak Larger molecular weight = more electrons Larger the molecule = Stronger the force BP determined by molecular weight Ex. CH4, CH3CH, CH3CH2CH3 CH3CH2CH3 > CH3CH > CH4 o If they are similar Molecules
