When a polar molecule like HF approaches a nonpolar molecule like H 2 a dipole-induceddipole force occurs due to an induced dipole in the H 2 molecule caused by the presence of the dipole of the HF molecule.
No. 4 of 10 4. Polar molecules interact with one another. This interaction is governed by the fact that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. Polar molecules (H 2 O) attract polar molecules (NH 3 ) by. (E) Electron sharing. Good try. Hint: Think about permanent dipoles in molecules. Good try.

Good try. Hint: Think about permanent dipoles in molecules. Correct Answer: C Polar molecules attract polar molecules by dipole-dipole forces. Polar molecules have unbalanced electron distributions making them electric dipoles. When polar molecules, such as ammonia, are added to another polar molecules such as water, ammonia dissolves because of the interaction between the two types of molecules.
No. 5 of 10 5. An ionic bond is a chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains an electron to form a negative ion. Such a bond is the result of. (E) Electron sharing. Good try. Hint: Think about the formations of anions and cations. Good try. Hint: Think about the formations of anions and cations. Good try. Hint: Think about the formations of anions and cations. D. Correct! Good work. An ionic bond is the result of ion-ion forces. Good try. Hint: Think about the formations of anions and cations. Correct Answer: D An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a non-metal. Ionic bonds are the result of electron transfer between atoms. The larger the difference between the electronegativity of the two atoms, the more ionic the bond is. Ion-ion forces are the strongest forces, leading to solids with high melting points, such as table salt Na + ---Cl -.
No. 6 of 10 6. Covalent bonds are forces that hold atoms together, typically two non-metallic elements in a molecule. A covalent bond (C-C) is the result of. (E) Electron sharing. Good try. Hint: Think about the nature of a chemical bond. Good try. Hint: Think about the nature of a chemical bond. Good try. Hint: Think about the nature of a chemical bond. Good try. Hint: Think about the nature of a chemical bond. E. Correct! Good work. A covalent bond is the result of electron sharing. Correct Answer: E Covalent Bonds are the result of electron sharing between atoms. Nonpolar covalent bonds are the result of even electron sharing, while polar covalent bonds are the result of unequal electron sharing between atoms. Actually, all bond types (ionic or covalent) involve some extent of electron sharing. According to the electronic structure theories, it is the orbital overlap that forms a covalent bond.

Good work. Refraction depends on the speed of light in different materials. Correct Answer: E Refraction depends on the speed of light in different materials. Light changes direction by Refraction, as it passes from one material into another depending on the speed of light in the two materials. Due to change of medium, the phase velocity of the wave is changed but its frequency remains constant. This is most commonly observed when a wave passes from one medium to another at any angle other than 90 or 0.
