At the death of Armisteads widow in 1861, the Star-Spangled Banner was bequeathed to his daughter, Georgiana Armistead Appleton, who recognized that it held national as well as familial significance. As its owner, she permitted the flag to be publicly exhibited on several occasions.
London Dispersion Forces. The London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force. The London dispersion force is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles. This force is sometimes called an induced dipole-induced dipole attraction.
Describe London dispersion forces (aka Van der Waals) and how they arise. Explain how to identify which molecules exhibit these forces. Show how to determine the relative strength of London forces in different molecules. This packet should help a learner seeking to understand London dispersion intermolecular forces.
