What is the difference between a bond and an intermolecular interaction?

Chemistry

A bond involves the swapping of electrons, transfer, etc, like a covalent or ionic bond.

An intermolecular interaction isn't necessarily a bond, but rather a charge that keeps atoms near each other. For example, a glass can swell at the top without overflowing or you can have a meniscus in your graduated cylinder because water sticks to the sides. These are intermolecular interactions, not bonds. An example are London Dispersion Forces. These are intermolecular interactions that control the melting and boiling temperatures of compounds.

Think, if molecules didn't interact with each other, what's holding them together? Why don't they just fly off? Because they interact with each other, we have the states of matter! We need so much heat to give them energy, just so that their own motion can break these forces and cause them to change state. 

also i haven't taken chemistry so idk what im doing oops

How many liters of ammonia are required to change 34.9 L of nitrogen monoxide to nitrogen gas? Assume 100% yield and that all ga
frutty [35]

Answer:

23.27 L

Explanation:

The balanced reaction of ammonia and nitrogen monoxide is shown below as:

4NH₃(g) + 6NO(g) ⇒ 5N₂(g) + 6H₂O(l)

Given that:

Volume of nitrogen monoxide = 34.9 L

Since, temperature and pressure are same, volume coefficients would be same as equation coefficients.

So,

6 L of nitrogen monoxide reacts with 4 L of ammonia.

1 L of nitrogen monoxide reacts with 4/6 L of ammonia.

34.9 L of nitrogen monoxide reacts with (4/6)*34.9 L of ammonia.

Amount of ammonia required = 23.27 L

Which of the following affects the rate of a chemical reaction?
butalik [34]
D. A ll of the above. catalyst reduces the activation energy thereby making the reaction faster. an increase in temperature  increases the kinetic energy and no of collisions making reaction faster for an endothermic reaction while decrease in temperature favors an exothermic reaction.
increase in concentration increases the molecules reacting so the reaction is faster and vice versa.
