Study Notes
Molecular Forces Overview
- Molecular forces are crucial for molecular cohesion and stability.
- They can be categorized into attractive and repulsive forces.
- Attractive forces are necessary for molecules to come together, while repulsive forces prevent them from overlapping excessively.
Types of Molecular Forces
- Intramolecular Forces: Forces within a molecule.
- Intermolecular Forces: Forces between different molecules.
Intramolecular Forces
- Involves the bonding of atoms within a molecule.
-
Covalent Bonds:
- Non-polar covalent bonds involve equal sharing of electrons.
- Polar covalent bonds involve unequal sharing, leading to partial charges.
- Ionic Bonds: Characterized by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in charged ions.
Intermolecular Forces
- Van der Waals Forces: Include various weak interactions between molecules primarily dependent on charged interactions.
-
Types of Van der Waals Forces:
- Dipole-Dipole Interactions: Occur between polar molecules; examples include acetone and HCl.
- Dipole-Induced Dipole Interactions: Happen when a polar molecule induces a dipole in a non-polar molecule; examples include ethyl acetate and methylene chloride.
- Induced Dipole-Induced Dipole Interactions: Result from temporary dipoles formed in non-polar molecules; examples include CS₂ and CCl₄.
Ion-Based Interactions
- Ion-Dipole Interactions: Occur when the charged end of a dipole is attracted to an ion.
- Ion-Induced Dipole Interactions: Involve interactions between ions and nonpolar molecules.
Hydrogen Bonds
- A special type of dipole interaction between molecules containing a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen).
- Exhibits unique properties:
- High dielectric constant.
- Abnormally high vapor pressure.
- Elevated boiling point relative to molecular weight.
