GOOD DAY!!! 
General types of
Intermolecular
Forces
OBJECTIVES
After going through this module, you are expected
to:
1. describe the types of intermolecular forces
present in substances;
2. identify the types of intermolecular forces
present between and among substances.
FORCES
INTERMOLECULAR
• Forces attract “between” two or
more molecules.
• Refer asVan der Waals forces and
hydrogen bonds
• Weak (in comparison of intra)
INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
• An attraction between two or more separate molecules.
• The result of attractions between positively and negatively charged
regions of separate molecules.
• They are not as strong as intramolecular force (chemical bonds).
TYPES OF INTERMOLECULAR
FORCES
• Dipole-dipole interactions
• Hydrogen bond
• London force/Dispersion force
• Ion Dipole
DIPOLE-DIPOLE INTERACTIONS
• Attractions between oppositely
charged regions of a polar molecule.
• Molecules that have permanent
dipoles are attracted to each other.
• The positive end of one is attracted to
the negative end of the other and vice-
versa.
• These forces are only important when
the molecules are close to each other.
• This exist in polar substance
• Polar substance
- covalently bonded substances
that contain partially positive and
negative charges.
• The more polar of the molecule, the
higher its boiling points
DIPOLE-DIPOLE INTERACTIONS
HYDROGEN BOND
• Occurs when Hydrogen is
bonded to N, O, or F are
unusually strong
• It is a special type of dipole-
dipole force
• The result is a dipolar molecule
• e.g H2O, NH3, HF
• Attraction due to the constant
motion of electrons.
- it will temporary
concentration of charge on
one side of an atom/molecule
• Exist between ALL molecules
• Weakest IF
LONDON DISPERSION FORCES
LONDON DISPERSION FORCES
• It involve the attraction between
temporarily induced dipoles
• Example:
• While the electrons in the 1s orbital
of helium would repel each other
(and, therefore, tend to stay far
away from each other), it does
happen that they occasionally wind
up on the same side of the atom. It
involve the attraction between
temporarily induced dipoles
EXIST TO ALL ELEMENTS
FACTORS AFFECTING LDF
1.The strength of dispersion forces tends
to increase with increased molecular
weight.
-Larger atoms have larger electron
clouds, which are easier to polarize.
2. The shape of the molecule affects the
strength of dispersion forces:
-long, skinny molecules (like n-
pentane tend to have stronger
dispersion forces than short, fat
ones (like neopentane).
-This is due to the increased
surface area in n-pentane.
FACTORS AFFECTING LDF
• Attractive force that results from
the electrostatic attraction
between an ion and a polar
molecule that has a dipole.
• Cations are attracted to the
negative end of a dipole, while
anions attracted to the positive
end of a dipole.
ION DIPOLE
ION DIPOLE
• A fourth type of force, ion-dipole interactions are an
important force in solutions of ions.
• The strength of these forces are what make it possible
for ionic substances to dissolve in polar solvents.
ATTRACTION
MOLECULAR POLARITY
 Molecule with a Positive and Negative
Side (Polar)
• Polar molecule (dipole) polar bonds
are asymmetrically arranged
Non Polar – no polar bonds or zero
dipole moments
WHY IS POLARITY IMPORTANT?
• Many Properties Depend on Polarity
• Melting and Boiling Point
• Surface Tension,Viscosity
• Reactivity
• Solubility (e.g., will it dissolve in water)
POLAR AND NON POLAR
• NON-polar covalent bonds
-Bonds between identical atoms such as H- H, F-F
involve equal sharing of e-
• Polar covalent bonds
-Bonds between different atoms involve unequal
sharing of e-
-Polar Covalent Bonds have a Partial Charge
Separation
IN CONCLUSION
• Polarity will be important
–In Determining Intermolecular Forces
–Vapor Pressure, Boiling and Melting
Points
–SurfaceTension,Viscosity
–Solubility
–Reactivity (Organic Chemistry)
