    Study Notes

    Intermolecular Forces

    • Intermolecular forces are attractive forces between molecules
    • These forces determine the state of a substance (solid, liquid, or gas)
    • Intermolecular forces are weaker than intramolecular forces (bonds within molecules)
    • Intramolecular forces include ionic, covalent, polar covalent, and metallic bonds
    • Intermolecular forces are also divided into attractions and repulsions
    • Repulsion forces come into play when molecules are brought too close together, causing the outer charge clouds to touch and repel each other

    Types of Intermolecular Forces

    • Intermolecular forces are categorized into weak and strong forces.
    • Weak forces include:
      • Van der Waals forces
      • Ion-dipole forces
      • Dipole-induced dipole forces
      • Hydrogen bonds
    • Strong forces include:
      • Ionic bonds
      • Covalent bonds
      • Metallic bonds
      • Coordinate covalent bonds

    Properties Determined by Intermolecular Forces

    • Melting point, boiling point, vapor pressure, evaporation, viscosity, surface tension, and solubility
    • The amount of "stick togetherness" is important for all these properties
    • These properties are useful in specific pharmaceutical applications such as:
      • Understanding the properties of gases, liquids, and solids
      • Understanding interfacial phenomena
      • Flocculation of Suspensions
      • Stabilization of emulsions
      • Compaction of powders
    • Intermolecular forces are also involved in determining the properties of gases, liquids, and solids

    Ion-Ion Interactions

    • Oppositely charged particles attract each other strongly in a vacuum
    • The stronger the attraction, the more energy is required to separate them
    • These interactions form ion pairs, which contain positively and negatively charged areas

    Covalent Bonds

    • Electrons are shared between nonmetal atoms
    • Adjacent atom electron clouds overlap and merge into new bonding orbitals

    Coordinate Covalent Bonds

    • A bond formed when both electrons of the bond are donated by just one atom.
    • Similar to other covalent bonds in that they involve sharing a pair of electrons between two atoms

    Metallic Bonds

    • A lattice of positive ions surrounded by delocalized electrons
    • Metal atoms achieve stability by "offloading" electrons to attain the electronic structure of the nearest noble gas
    • The delocalized electrons prevent the positive ions from repulsing each other

    Polarity

    • Polarity results from electronegativity differences within molecules
    • These differences cause a separation of charges in a molecule
    • Molecules that are symmetrical have zero dipole moments, while asymmetrical molecules have a net dipole moment

    Induced Dipole Interactions

    • The electric field generated by a permanent dipole moment can induce a dipole moment in a nearby apolar molecule

    Instantaneous Dipole

    • Electrons move at high speed, uneven distribution of electron density, leading to temporary dipole
    • It results from a temporary uneven distribution of the negative charge within an atom

    A- Dipole-Dipole Interactions

    • Molecules with a separation of charge (dipoles) attract each other
    • The attraction is stronger when the dipole moment is larger

    Dipole-Dipole Forces

    • Molecules with larger dipole moments have higher melting and boiling points
    • Dipole attractions are relatively weak, resulting in liquid or gaseous states at room temperature

    Polar Molecules

    • Molecules with unequal charge distribution
    • Their polarity depends on the symmetry of the bonds

    Molecules with 3 Atoms

    • Dipole moments can cancel each other out if the molecule is symmetrical
    • An example is CO2 where the bonds are polar, but the molecule is nonpolar

    Polar or Nonpolar Molecules

    • Polar molecules have higher boiling points than symmetrical molecules

    Intermolecular Forces and Melting/Boiling Points

    • Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher melting and boiling points
    • Weaker intermolecular forces result in lower melting and boiling points

    Ion-Dipole Interactions

    • Attractions between an ion and a polar molecule
    • The strength is determined by the ion's charge and the polar molecule's dipole moment
    • Important in solubility of ionic substances in polar solvents

    Ion-Induced Dipole Forces

    • Weak attraction between an ion and a nonpolar molecule
    • The ion induces a temporary dipole in the nonpolar molecule

    Hydrogen Bonding

    • Strong type of dipole-dipole interaction
    • Occurs between hydrogen atoms bonded to highly electronegative atoms (F, O, N)
    • Affected by great polarity of the bond, and close proximity of dipoles due to small size of hydrogen
