Скачать или смотреть Intermolecular Forces for HCl (Hydrogen chloride)

In this video we’ll identify the intermolecular forces for HCl (Hydrogen chloride). Using a flowchart to guide us, we find that HCl is a polar molecule. Since HCl is a polar molecular without hydrogen bonding present, the main intermolecular force is Dipole-Dipole (also present is London Dispersion Forces).

In determining the intermolecular forces present for HCl we follow these steps:

Determine if there are ions present. Since HCl is a molecule and there is no + or – sign after the HCl we can say that it is not an ion.

Next, based on its Lewis Structure, we determine if HCl is polar or non-polar (see    • Is HCl Polar or Nonpolar?  ). Since there is large difference in electronegativity between the atom H and Cl atom, and the molecule is asymmetrical, HCl is considered to be a polar molecule.
