    Study Notes

    Interactions between Molecules

    • Attractive forces in gases are weak, particles are free to move and take up space.
    • Attractive forces in liquids are strong enough to hold particles close together but allow them to slip and slide, hence liquids flow.
    • Attractive forces in solids are very strong, holding particles rigidly in place and preventing their movement, they vibrate in place.

    Attractive Forces

    • Intramolecular forces operate within a molecule or fundamental unit of a substance, covalent bonds, ionic forces, metallic bonds.
    • Intermolecular forces operate between molecules of a covalent substance, atoms of a monatomic element, or ions of one substance and the molecules of another.
    • Intramolecular forces are much stronger than intermolecular forces.
    • It takes 41 kJ to break the intermolecular forces in 1 mole of water to boil it, but 930 kJ to break all the H-O-H covalent bonds in 1 mole of water.

    Intermolecular Forces

    • These are forces that arise from the interactions between molecules.
    • Examples of intermolecular forces include:
      • Attractions between molecules of a molecular substance, such as the force of attraction between water molecules in ice.
      • Attractions between atoms of the noble gas elements, helium through radon.
      • Attractions between molecules of one substance and molecules of another, as when two liquids are mixed, or a molecular solid such as sugar is dissolved in a liquid.
      • Attraction between molecules of one substance and ions of another, as when an ionic compound dissolves in a liquid.

    Liquids: Intermolecular Forces

    • Intermolecular forces are responsible for the existence of liquids and solids.
    • Without them, all matter would be gaseous.

    Surface Tension

    • Surface tension is the property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force.
    • A paper clip can float on water if carefully placed on the surface due to surface tension.
    • Surface tension is a result of intermolecular forces pulling molecules inwards at the surface.

    Viscosity

    • Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow.
    • Liquids with stronger intermolecular forces have higher viscosity because molecules cannot move as freely.
    • Long molecules tend to form viscous liquids because of molecular entanglement.

    Molecular Polarity

    • To predict intermolecular forces, we need to determine the polarity of a molecule.
    • To determine the polarity of a molecule, we need to consider:
      • Bond polarity (polar or nonpolar)
      • Dipole moment
      • Molecular geometry

    Bond Polarity

    • Difference in electronegativity (DEN) values between atoms in a bond determines its type:
      • 0-0.4: Nonpolar covalent bond
      • 0.5-1.9: Polar covalent bond
      • ≥2.0: Ionic bond (metal and nonmetal)

    Determining Bond Polarity

    • Example:
      • H-Cl (DEN = 3.0 - 2.1 = 0.9), polar covalent bond
      • O-H (DEN = 3.5- 2.1 = 1.4), polar covalent bond
      • C-N (DEN = 3.0 - 2.5 = 0.5), polar covalent bond
      • C-H (DEN = 2.5 - 2.1 = 0.4), nonpolar covalent bond

    Bond Polarity Representation

    • Partial charges (δ+ , δ-) indicate the polarity of a bond.
      • The atom with higher EN value gets δ-, while the atom with lower EN value gets δ+.
    • A dipole moment arrow points in the direction of the atom with the higher EN value.

    Molecular Polarity

    • To determine molecular polarity, consider each bond's polarity and the molecule's geometry or shape.
    • If a bond is polar, draw a dipole moment arrow for that bond.
    • If dipole moments cancel out due to geometry (e.g., symmetrical molecules), the molecule is nonpolar.
    • If dipole moments don't cancel out, the molecule is polar.

    Molecular Geometry

    • The shape of a molecule plays a crucial role in determining its overall polarity.
    • For example:
      • Linear geometry (two electron groups): 180° bond angle
      • Trigonal planar geometry (three electron groups): 120° bond angle
      • Bent geometry (three electron groups, one lone pair): Bond angle less than 120°

    Molecular Geometry Examples

    • Water (H2O): Two O-H bonds create a bent shape, resulting in a polar molecule.
    • Ammonia (NH3): Three N-H bonds create a trigonal pyramidal shape, resulting in a polar molecule.
    • Carbon dioxide (CO2): Two C=O bonds create a linear shape, resulting in a nonpolar molecule.
    • Methane (CH4): Four C-H bonds create a tetrahedral shape, resulting in a nonpolar molecule.
