Unit 5: Intermolecular Forces & Solutions

Unit Objectives:  At the completion of this Intermolecular Forces & Solutions unit,

1. I can predict, using the shape of a molecule and the polarity of bonds in a molecule, the type of intermolecular forces (hydrogen, dipole-dipole, London dispersion forces) for a given compound. (CK12 Sections 9.12, 9.17, 9.18)

2. I can describe and draw the process by which solutes dissolve in solvents. (CK12 Sections 15.5, 16.1)

3. I can determine if a solute will be able to dissolve in a particular solvent and justify why. (CK12 Sections 15.6, 16.2)

4. I can describe different factors that affect the rate of dissolution and explain why it is so. (CK12 Section 16.3)

5. I can identify electrolytes and non-electrolytes and explain why they are classified as so. (CK12 Sections 15.7, 15.8, 15.9)
