Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry syllabusChemistry YCH11First assessment 2019

Identify every attraction supported by the structure, then describe temporary and induced dipoles or draw hydrogen bonds between a lone pair and a δ+ hydrogen.

How this is tested

  • Classify all intermolecular forces present between molecules from their structures.
  • Explain London forces through temporary dipoles inducing dipoles in neighbouring clouds.
  • Draw hydrogen bonds with lone pairs, partial charges and near-linear donor alignment.
