Study Notes
Intermolecular Forces
- Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction between molecules.
- London Dispersion Forces (LDFs) are the weakest type of intermolecular force.
- LDFs are caused by temporary dipoles due to uneven electron distribution.
- LDFs are present in all molecules, but are the only intermolecular force in nonpolar molecules.
- Factors increasing LDF strength: larger molar mass, more electrons, and greater surface area. Larger surface areas offer more opportunities for interaction.
- Examples: CH4, CO2, and I2
- Dipole-dipole interactions occur between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.
- Dipole-dipole interactions are stronger than LDFs but weaker than hydrogen bonding.
- Examples: HCl, CH3Cl, and SO2
- Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction.
- Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is bonded to nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F).
- Hydrogen bonding creates a larger dipole moment.
- Hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force.
- Examples: H2O, NH3, and HF
Intramolecular Forces
- Intramolecular forces are forces of attraction within a molecule
- Metallic Bonds: the attraction between positive metal cations (ions) and a sea of delocalized electrons.
- Metallic bonds are present in pure metals and alloys.
- Properties of metallic bonds:
- High conductivity due to free-moving electrons
- Malleable and ductile
- Variable melting points depending on the metal
- Examples: Fe, Cu, and Al
- Ionic Bonds are electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions).
- Ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals.
- Properties of ionic bonds:
- High melting and boiling points
- Conductive when molten or dissolved in water.
- Often soluble in water
- Examples: NaCl and MgO
- Covalent Network Bonds: atoms covalently bonded in a continuous network.
- Properties of covalent network bonds:
- Very high melting and boiling points
- Hard and brittle.
- Poor conductors (no free electrons).
- Examples: Diamond (C) and Quartz (SiO2).
Crystal Lattice Structures
- Ionic crystals: alternating positive and negative ions form a lattice.
- Properties: High melting points, hard, brittle, and conductive when dissolved/molten
- Example: NaCl and CaF2
- Metallic crystals: positive metal cations surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons.
- Properties: Good conductivity, and malleable, ductile.
- Example: Cu and Fe
- Covalent Network Crystals: Atoms covalently bonded in a continuous network.
- Properties: Extremely hard, very high melting points, non-conductive
- Examples: Diamond (C), and Quartz (SiO2)
- Molecular Crystals: molecules held by intermolecular forces.
- Properties: Lower melting points, soft, brittle, and non-conductive
- Examples: Ice (H2O) and Sugar (C12H22O11)
