    Study Notes

    Intermolecular Forces and Liquids

    • Intermolecular forces are attractions between molecules
    • All forces between molecules are called van der Waals forces
    • Covalent bonds are stronger than intermolecular forces

    Covalent Bonding vs. Intermolecular Forces

    • Intermolecular forces are weaker than covalent bonds that hold compounds together
    • Covalent bonds are strong

    Polarity

    • Polar molecules have partial positive and negative charges due to electronegativity differences
    • Nonpolar molecules have bonds that cancel out due to geometry

    Dipole-Dipole Forces

    • Molecules with permanent dipoles are attracted to each other
    • Molecules with permanent dipoles have a positive and negative end

    Hydrogen Bonds

    • A special type of dipole-dipole force
    • Occurs when hydrogen is covalently bonded to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine in one molecule
    • Hydrogen is attracted to a more electronegative atom in another molecule

    Dispersion Forces

    • Temporary dipoles are created by fluctuations in electron distribution
    • All molecules exhibit dispersion forces
    • Dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular force

    Properties of Liquids

    • Vaporization: Molecules escape from the liquid surface to gas phase; endothermic
    • Condensation: Gas molecules turn into liquid molecules, exothermic
    • Vapor pressure: Equilibrium between liquid and gas; pressure exerted by vapor over a liquid; increases with temperature
    • Volatility: Tendency of a molecule to escape liquid phase; higher volatility-higher vapor pressure
    • Boiling point: Temperature at which vapor pressure of liquid equals external atmospheric pressure

    Viscosity

    • Resistance of a liquid to flow
    • Stronger intermolecular forces=higher viscosity

    Solutions

    • Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
    • Solvent: Component in largest amount
    • Solute: Other component
    • Colligative properties: Depend on the number of solute particles, not their identity
    • Molality (m): Moles of solute per kilogram of solvent

    The Solution Process

    • Solubility: Concentration of solute in a saturated solution at equilibrium with undissolved solute
    • Miscible Liquids: Mix completely
    • Immiscible Liquids: Do not mix completely
    • "Like dissolves like": Polar substances dissolve polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar substances
    • Henry's Law: Solubility of a gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the solution
