Study Notes
Molecular Polarity & Dipoles
- Dipole moment is the product of the difference in electronegativity and atomic radius.
- Larger atomic radius leads to a greater dipole moment due to increased distance for charge separation.
- C-heteroatom bonds have a dipole moment.
- Dipoles arise from induction and resonance.
Intermolecular Forces
- Neutral molecules are attracted by dipole-dipole interactions, hydrogen bonding, and London Dispersion Forces (LDF).
- Dipole-dipole forces occur when polar molecules line up with their opposite charges, increasing the boiling point (BP).
- Hydrogen bonding is a strong dipole-dipole force occurring between hydrogen and highly electronegative elements like N, O, or F. Strong hydrogen bonding leads to higher BP.
- Protic solvents participate in hydrogen bonding, while aprotic solvents do not.
- London Dispersion Forces (LDF) are weak forces created by temporary dipoles forming in nonpolar molecules.
- Increasing surface area (SA) leads to stronger LDF and higher BP.
London Dispersion
- London Dispersion Forces (LDF) originate from temporary dipoles in nonpolar molecules.
- Larger atoms/molecules have more electrons and larger surface areas, leading to stronger LDF.
- Higher surface area usually correlates to a higher boiling point (BP).
- Branching in a molecule decreases surface area and thus weakens LDF, leading to a lower BP.
