    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)

    Comparison of Strengths

    From weakest to strongest intermolecular force

    • London Dispersion Forces (weakest)

    • Hydrogen Bonding
    • Metallic Bonds
    • Ionic Bonds
    • Covalent Network bonds (strongest intramolecular force)
