What is an intramolecular force

1 answer:

4 0

An intramolecular force is any force that binds together the atoms making up a molecule or compound, not to be confused with intermolecular forces, which are the forces present between molecules. The subtle difference in the name comes from the Latin roots of English with inter meaning between or among and intra meaning inside. Chemical bonds are considered to be intramolecular forces, for example. These forces are often stronger than intermolecular forces, which are present between atoms or molecules that are not bonded.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

A. 2C + H₂ ⟶ CH₄

Explanation:

A. 2C + H₂ ⟶ CH₄

UNBALANCED. 2C on the left and 1C on the right

B. 2Al₂O₃ ⟶ 4Al + 3O₂

Balanced. Same number of each type of atom on each side.

C. 2H₂O₂ ⟶ 2H₂O + O₂

Balanced. Same number of each type of atom on each side.

D. 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ ⟶ 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Answer:

Nonbonding pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

Both oxygen atoms in the diatomic molecule have two nonbonding pairs. This results in the oxygen molecule having a planar geometric shape. This is because nonbonding pairs repel each other are significant in determining the shape of a molecule.
