Describe the types of Van der Waals’ force including a. instantaneous dipole – induced dipole (id-id) force, also called London dispersion forces b. permanent dipole – permanent dipole (pd-pd) force, including hydrogen bonding c. Hydrogen bonding as a special case of permanent dipole – permanent dipole force between molecules where hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom).
Describe hydrogen bonding, limited to molecules containing N–H, O–H and H–F groups, (including ammonia, water and H–F as simple examples).
