Question

1920 (1 of 20) Match the following terms: The ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself in a A. Electronegativity covalent bond. Noncovalent interaction resulting from randomB. Hydrogen bond fluctuation in the electronic structure of atoms leading to electrostatic interactions between induced dipoles. Noncovalent interaction between a lone-pair on an C. lonic bond electronegative atom and the hydrogen bound to another electronegative atom. Noncovalent interaction between two atoms with D. London dispersion opposite formal charges.

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 :

The atoms in a molecule form different bonds be it ionic , covalent or co-ordinate bond based on the nature of these atoms and sharing of electrons.

So here :

A :The ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself in a covalent bond : A : Electronegativity

D :Non covalent interaction resulting from random fluctuation in the electronic structure of atoms leading to electrostatic interactions between the induced dipoles : D: london dispersion

B : Non covalent interaction between a lone pair on an electronegative atom and the hydrogen bound to another electronegative atom : B : Hydrogen bond

C :Non covalent interaction between two atoms with opposite formal charges : C : Ionic bond
