Study Notes
Hydrogen Bonding in Water and DNA
- Hydrogen bonds occur between water molecules, providing them with unique properties.
- In DNA, hydrogen bonding between base pairs stabilizes the double helix structure.
Intermolecular Forces and Solubility
- Solubility is influenced by intermolecular forces (IMF); "like dissolves like" principle applies.
- Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents; hydrophilic groups include -OH, -CHO, -C=O, -COOH, -NH2, and -Cl.
- Nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents; hydrophobic groups include C-H and C-C.
Immiscible Liquids
- Water (polar) and pentane (nonpolar) do not mix due to stronger intermolecular forces in water.
Properties of States of Matter
- Solids: High density, retain shape and volume, incompressible, particles move as a block.
- Liquids: High density, take shape of the container, retain volume, incompressible, fluid movement.
- Gases: Low density, fill containers, compressible, fluid flow.
Phase Changes
- Phase depends on particle kinetic energy and strength of intermolecular forces.
- Example: Liquid petroleum gas is a gas at room temperature but a liquid at higher pressures.
Intermolecular vs. Intramolecular Forces
- Intramolecular forces involve interactions within a molecule; intermolecular forces are interactions between molecules.
- IMFs determine physical properties like boiling and melting points.
Types of Intermolecular Forces
- Dispersion Forces: Instantaneous induced dipoles occur in all molecules, significantly influenced by molar mass and shape.
- Dipole-Dipole Forces: Occur in polar molecules with permanent dipoles.
- Hydrogen Bonding: Specific strong attractions involving H bonded to F, O, or N.
- Ion-Dipole Forces: Attraction between ions and polar molecules.
Effect of Molar Mass and Molecular Shape
- Higher molar mass leads to increased dispersion forces and higher boiling points.
- Molecular shape affects surface contact; flatter shapes exhibit larger attractions due to increased surface-to-surface contact.
Dipole-Dipole Attractions
- Result from the permanent dipoles of polar molecules, increasing boiling and melting points compared to similar nonpolar molecules.
Practice Problems
- Identify which substance is more soluble in water based on hydrogen bonding capabilities.
- Determine which of two substances has a higher boiling point considering both molar mass and molecular shape factors.
Hydrogen Bonding Characteristics
- Strong interaction in molecules with N-H, O-H, or F-H bonds.
- Not a true chemical bond, energy varies from approximately 10 to 100 kJ/mol.
