    Intermolecular Forces

    The attractive forces that exist between molecules.

    Intramolecular Forces

    Forces that hold atoms together within a molecule.

    London Dispersion Forces (LD)

    A temporary force that arises due to the random movement of electrons within a molecule, resulting in a temporary dipole moment.

    Dipole-Dipole Forces (DD)

    A type of intermolecular force that occurs between polar molecules, where the partially positive end of one molecule is attracted to the partially negative end of another.

    Study Notes

    Intermolecular Forces

    • Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction between molecules.
    • They are weaker than the forces holding atoms together within molecules (intramolecular forces).
    • Intermolecular forces determine the physical state of a substance (solid, liquid, gas) at a given temperature.
    • These forces affect properties like melting and boiling points, solubility, and viscosity.

    Types of Intermolecular Forces

    • London Dispersion Forces (LDFs): Present in all molecules, weakest force. Strength depends on the number of electrons in a molecule; larger molecules exhibit stronger LDFs.
    • Dipole-Dipole Forces: Exist between polar molecules. The strength of the force depends on the size of the dipole moment, which is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the atoms in the molecules. Stronger dipoles lead to stronger dipole-dipole forces.
    • Hydrogen Bonding: A special type of dipole-dipole force that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen). The hydrogen nucleus is attracted to the lone pairs of electrons on the electronegative atom in a neighboring molecule. This is a relatively strong intermolecular force. Molecules with -OH, -NH, or -FH groups exhibit hydrogen bonding.

    Molecular Structure and Intermolecular Forces: Effects on Physical Properties

    • The strength of intermolecular forces influences the melting and boiling points of substances. Substances with stronger intermolecular forces typically have higher melting and boiling points as more energy is required to overcome the attractive forces.
    • Larger molecules tend to have stronger London Dispersion forces.
    • Polar molecules with significant dipole moments exhibit stronger dipole-dipole forces.
    • Substances with hydrogen bonding generally have the highest melting and boiling points of the three intermolecular forces.
    • Solubility depends on the nature of the solvent. Polar solvents (like water) dissolve polar solutes. Non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes.

    Examples

    • Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a solid at room temperature due to strong ionic bonding between sodium and chlorine ions, which is much stronger than intermolecular forces.
    • Water (H₂O) is a liquid at room temperature due to hydrogen bonding between water molecules, which is stronger than London Dispersion forces but weaker than ionic bonds.

    Additional Points

    • The relative strengths of intermolecular forces are LDFs < dipole-dipole < hydrogen bonding.
    • The order of the strength of Intermolecular Forces, determines the characteristics of a substance.
