OBJECTIVES
After going throughthis 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.
6.
FORCES
INTERMOLECULAR
• Forces attract“between” two or
more molecules.
• Refer asVan der Waals forces and
hydrogen bonds
• Weak (in comparison of intra)
7.
INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
• Anattraction 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).
DIPOLE-DIPOLE INTERACTIONS
• Attractionsbetween 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.
10.
• This existin 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
11.
HYDROGEN BOND
• Occurswhen 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
12.
• Attraction dueto 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
13.
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
FACTORS AFFECTING LDF
1.Thestrength of dispersion forces tends
to increase with increased molecular
weight.
-Larger atoms have larger electron
clouds, which are easier to polarize.
16.
2. The shapeof 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
17.
• Attractive forcethat 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
18.
ION DIPOLE
• Afourth 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.
MOLECULAR POLARITY
Moleculewith a Positive and Negative
Side (Polar)
• Polar molecule (dipole) polar bonds
are asymmetrically arranged
Non Polar – no polar bonds or zero
dipole moments
21.
WHY IS POLARITYIMPORTANT?
• Many Properties Depend on Polarity
• Melting and Boiling Point
• Surface Tension,Viscosity
• Reactivity
• Solubility (e.g., will it dissolve in water)
22.
POLAR AND NONPOLAR
• 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
23.
IN CONCLUSION
• Polaritywill be important
–In Determining Intermolecular Forces
–Vapor Pressure, Boiling and Melting
Points
–SurfaceTension,Viscosity
–Solubility
–Reactivity (Organic Chemistry)
