Defintions
« on: April 09, 2005, 01:53:10 AM »
Hey I was reading my text book for chemistry. And I wasn't really getting the meanings of these words. Can someone please define some words for me in the "stupid" way. Like easy words. Thanks!

~London Forces
~Hydrogen Bond

how come your textbook don't define these terms? dodgy, isnt it?

Are you sure you don't mean 'dipole moment'?

In addition, what does your textbook have to say about these terms?  I would be more inclined to give you some help here if you could be more specific about your lack of understanding what your text has to say.  Otherwise I'd just be giving answers away to homework without any real learning occurring.  These terms are all related by the fact that they describe intermolecular forces.  What exactly are you confused about?

Well it does it say it, but it used these terms which are not understandable. Like I know what it kinda means

Like dipole movement, is something like these 2 bonds coming together

Hydrogen bond is something that is a bond that is together with hydrogen

And london forces is the weakest of them all, it is random. like it moves at random and it will attract with each other.

Thats what I got from the text book. Is it the right terms...

Your first one is incorrect. Your second and third is more or less correct.
