Solutions: Solubility and Intermolecular Forces definitions Flashcards

A chemical property indicating a solute's ability to dissolve in a solvent, forming a homogeneous mixture.

Describes two substances that can mix to form a homogeneous mixture or solution.

A mixture where the components are uniformly distributed, also known as a solution.

A mixture where the components are not uniformly distributed, indicating a solute is not dissolved.

Forces that mediate interaction between molecules, affecting solubility and miscibility.

The strongest intermolecular force, occurring between ionic compounds and polar molecules.

A strong type of dipole-dipole interaction occurring when hydrogen is bonded to fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen.

An intermolecular force between polar covalent molecules, where positive and negative ends attract.

Weak intermolecular forces present in all molecules, dominant in nonpolar covalent compounds.

A property of molecules with uneven distribution of charges, affecting solubility and miscibility.

A homogeneous mixture formed when a solute is dissolved by a solvent.

Compounds composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces, often exhibiting ion-dipole interactions.

Compounds with polar bonds due to unequal sharing of electrons, exhibiting dipole-dipole forces.

Compounds with equal sharing of electrons, primarily exhibiting London dispersion forces.

A principle stating that substances with similar polarities or intermolecular forces are likely to be miscible.
