Molecular Forces

Forces:-
   There are two types of forces between molecular.
1.      Intramolecular force
2.    Intermolecular force
Intramolecular force:-
                           A force within a molecular is called intramolecular force.
I.      Ionic bond     II.    Covalent bond
Intermolecular force:-
Intermolecular forces in liquids are collectively called van
der Waals forces. These forces are essentially electrical in nature
And result from the attraction of charges of opposite sign.
The principal kinds of intermolecular attractions are:
(1) Dipole-dipole attractions
(2) London forces
(3) Hydrogen bonding.

The relative size of these interactions is important so the relative effects are understood.

 Clearly normal covalent bonds are almost 40 times the strength of hydrogen bonds. Covalent
Bonds are almost 200 times the strength of dipole-dipole forces, and more than 400 times the size of
London dispersion forces.
DIPOLE–DIPOLE ATTRACTIONS
Dipole-dipole attractions exist between molecules that are polar. This requires the presence of polar bonds and an unsymmetrical molecule. These molecules have a permanent separation of positive and negative charge.
                            In the illustration the H and of HCl is permanently slightly positive charge. The Cl end of HCl has a permanent slight negative charge. The H atom in one molecule is attracted to the Cl in a neighbour. The intermolecular force is weak compared to a covalent bond, but
This dipole-dipole interaction is one of the stronger intermolecular attractions

 LONDON DISPERSION FORCES
London dispersion forces exist in nonpolar molecules. These forces result from temporary charge imbalances. The temporary charges exist because the electrons in a molecule or ion move randomly in the structure. The nucleus of one atom attracts electrons form the neighbouring atom. At the same time, the electrons in one particle repel the electrons in the neighbour and create a short lived charge imbalance.
These temporary charges in one molecule or atom attract opposite charges in nearby molecules or atoms. A local slight positive charge δ+ in one molecule will be attracted to a temporary slight negative charge δ– in a neighbouring molecule.

HYDROGEN BONDING
Hydrogen bonding is a unique type of intermolecular attraction. There are two requirements:
(1) Covalent bond between an H atom and either F, O, or N. These are the three most electronegative elements.
(2) Interaction of the H atom in this kind of polar bond with a lone pair of electrons on a nearby atom like F, O, or N.

(1) Additive Property When a property of a substance is equal to the sum of the Corresponding properties of the constituent atoms, it is called an additive property . For example, molecular mass of a compound is given by the sum of the atomic masses of the constituent atoms. (2) Constitutive Property A property that depends on the arrangement of atoms and bond structure, in a molecule, is referred to as a constitutive property . Surface tension and viscosity and optical activity are examples of constitutive property. (3) Additive and Constitutive Property An additive property which also depends on the intermolecular structure is called additive and constitutive property. Surface tension and viscosity are such properties. (4) COLLIGATIVE PROPERTIES Colligative Properties (Greek colligatus = Collected together). A colligative property may be defined as one which depends on the number of particles in solution and not in any way on the size or chemical nature of

Ø SPEED: Computer is very fast calculating device It can execute basic operations like addition, multiplication, subtraction and division at a few microseconds. Ø ACCURACY: The accuracy of computer does not go down when they are used continuously for hours together. It always gives accurate results. Ø STORAGE: Computer has a very large storage capacity. It has an in-built memory where it can store a large amount of data. We can also store data in secondary storage devices like Floppy disk, Hard disk etc. Ø VERSATILITY: It means computer can perform different types of job efficiently. Computer can work with different types of data and information such as visuals, text, graphics & video etc. at same time. Ø PAPER WORK REDUCED: The computer reduces the paper work of any organization. The required data which was earlier stored in files, drawers and cabinets is now stored in the memory of computer. So Organization can reduce the paper work.  Ø MANP

Two Stroke vs Four Stroke Engine

Two Stroke vs Four Stroke Enigne – Advantages and Disadvantages of Two Stroke over Four Stroke Cycle Engines. In a two stroke engine, the working cycle is completed in two strokes of the piston or one revolution of the crankshaft. In a four stroke engine, the working cycle is completed in four strokes of the piston or two revolutions of the crankshaft. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of two stroke over four stroke cycle engines: Advantages: 1.   A two stroke cycle engine gives twice the number of power strokes than the four stroke cycle engine at the same engine speed. Theoretically, a two stroke cycle engine should develop twice the power as that of a four stroke cycle engine. 2.    For the same power developed, a two stroke cycle engine is lighter, less bulky and occupies less floor area. 3.    A two stroke cycle engine has a lighter flywheel and gives higher mechanical efficiency than a four stroke cycle engine. Disadvantages: 1.   The thermal
