- Course: FUNCHEM.8 Intermolecular interactions: The medical importance of water in the body
Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024
- Discoveries recognized this year focus on protein construction and prediction.
- Heiner Linke, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry highlighted these discoveries.
- David Baker (2003): Designed a novel protein with unique structure.
- Demis Hassabis and John Jumper (2020): Developed AlphaFold2, an AI model predicting protein structures.

Learning Outcomes
- Understand electronegativity and dipole formation in molecules
- Predict dipole moments of molecules, considering polarity and shape
- Characterize ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, and instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interactions
- Explain the role of hydrogen bonding in physical properties (melting/boiling points)
- Differentiate types of intermolecular forces based on strength
- Analyze medical, biochemical, and pharmacological implications of intermolecular forces.
Intermolecular Forces
- Attractive forces between molecules.
- Responsible for bulk properties of matter (melting & boiling point).
- Significantly weaker than intramolecular forces (hold atoms together)
- Example: 41 kJ needed to evaporate one mole of water at its boiling point compared to 930 kJ to break the O-H bonds.
Intermolecular Forces: State of Matter
- Boiling point/melting point relate to intermolecular force strength.
- The state of matter depends on intermolecular force strength.
Basis of Intermolecular Interactions
- Magnets demonstrate fundamental requirements.
- Attraction between oppositely charged regions.
Dipole
- Polar covalent bond: Unequal electron sharing.
- Molecules with both positive and negative poles are polarized.
- Electronegativity difference drives unequal electron sharing.
- Dipole moment is a measure of polarity, measured in Debye (D) units.
Dipole Moments
- Diatomic molecules with identical atoms have zero dipole moments.
- Diatomic molecules with different atoms have a non-zero dipole moment.
- Dipole moment of polyatomic molecules depend on bond polarity and molecular shape.
Shape and Polarity
- CO2, linear molecules, have equal and opposite dipole moments resulting in zero net dipole moment.
- Bent molecules like CO2 have non-zero dipole moment.
Molecule and Dipole Moments
- Specific values for H2O (1.94D), CO2 (0D), NH3 (1.16D), and CH4 (0D) are provided.
Different Types of Intermolecular Forces
- Lists dipole-dipole, ion-dipole, ion-induced dipole, dipole-induced dipole, instantaneous dipole-induced dipole, hydrogen bonds, and ion-ion forces.
Dipole-Dipole Forces
- Attractive forces between polar molecules.
- The larger the dipole moment, the stronger the force.
- Alignment of polar molecules in liquids is not rigid, but similar.
Ion-Dipole Forces
- Attractive forces between ions and polar molecules.
- Strength depends on ion charge/size and dipole moment/size of molecule.
- Hydration of ions is an example.
Ion-Dipole Forces: Variable Magnitude
- Mg²⁺ ions have a higher charge and smaller ionic radius than Na⁺, leading to stronger interaction with water molecules.
Ion-Dipole Forces
- Illustration of ion-dipole interactions in water, showing how water molecules surround and interact with ions.
Ion-Induced Dipole Forces
- An ion induces a dipole moment in a nonpolar molecule via its electric field.
- Polarizability—ease of distortion of electron cloud—influences the strength of this force.
Dipole-Induced Dipole Forces
- A polar molecule induces a dipole moment in a nonpolar molecule via its electric field.
- Strength depends on the polar molecule's dipole moment and polarizability of nonpolar molecule
Instantaneous Dipole-Induced Dipole Forces
- Instantaneous dipoles can induce dipoles in neighboring atoms or molecules.
- Strength is proportional to polarizability of the molecules involved; increases in strength with increasing molar mass.
Instantaneous Dipole-Induced Dipole Forces (Dispersion Forces)
- Strength increases with molar mass due to larger electron cloud.
- Significantly impact many substances, including nonpolar molecules.
Hydrogen Bonds
- Strong type of dipole-dipole interaction between a highly polar molecule with H bonded to highly electronegative atoms (N, O, or F), and the other electronegative atom.
- Hydrogen is the 'donor' atom, and the other highly electronegative atom is the 'acceptor'.
- Only H directly attached to N,O or F will form hydrogen bond.
Hydrogen Bonds
- H must be attached directly to N, O, or F.
Ion-Ion Forces
- Strong electrostatic forces between ions.
- Responsible for ionic lattice structures in compounds like NaCl and MgSO4.
Relative Strength of Intermolecular Forces
- Dispersion forces can vary greatly in strength.
- Can exceed the strength of dipole-dipole forces in some cases.
Properties of Water
- Water's properties arise from intermolecular interactions.
- Hydrogen bonding gives water a high boiling point (more kinetic energy required).
Heat Capacity of Water
- Water has unusually high heat capacity due to hydrogen bonding.
- Specific heat capacity (energy to raise 1g of substance by 1°C) is high compared to other liquids.
- Water's heat capacity influences the body's temperature regulation.
Medical and Biological Relevance of Intermolecular Forces: Sickle Cell Anemia
- Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease where a single amino acid substitution in hemoglobin distorts red blood cells
- This distorts the haemoglobins structure distorts red blood cells.
- This abnormal shape is caused by the hydrophobic valine replacing the polar glutamic acid causing them to precipitate in low oxygen conditions ( low O2 in blood),
Sickle Cell Anemia Explained
- The difference between normal and sickle cell hemoglobin (HbA and HbS) lies in a single amino acid (Glutamic acid replaced by Valine).
- This mutation creates a hydrophobic region in HbS, leading to aggregation and precipitation.
Glutamic Acid versus Valine
- Valine, a nonpolar amino acid, replaces glutamic acid, a polar amino acid.
- This substitution creates a nonpolar region, promoting HbS aggregation.
Structure of DNA
- DNA's double helix structure is stabilized by extensive hydrogen bonding between base pairs.
- Details on base pairings (A-T, C-G) and their arrangement.
Drug Design
- Modern drugs target specific sites or receptors.
- Drug structures match target structures to maximize intermolecular interactions and binding
Conclusion
- Intermolecular forces are crucial to biological and chemical processes.
- For molecules, as for people, love is the greatest thing.
