Deduce which intermolecular forces (London dispersion, dipole-induced dipole, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding) act between given molecules from their size, polarity and the presence of hydrogen bonded to nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.
Kevlar owes its high strength to hydrogen bonds between neighbouring polymer chains. (i) Annotate the diagram below to show a hydrogen bond between the two chain sections, drawing the hydrogen bond as a dotted line. (ii) Outline how a hydrogen bond forms…
