Study Notes

Polymorphs

  • Different packing arrangements of crystalline molecules for the same compound are known as polymorphs.
  • Physical properties that differ in polymorphs include melting point, solubility, and density.

Intermolecular Forces

  • Solvation is the attraction of solvent molecules with solute molecules or ions.
  • Pseudopolymorphs are formed when something is embedded in a polymorph.

Polymorph Properties

  • A polymorph with a higher melting point temperature will have stronger intermolecular forces.

Intermolecular Force Strength

  • Hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force.

Temporary Fluctuations

  • London dispersion forces involve temporary fluctuations in electron distribution within molecules.

Dipole-Dipole Interactions

  • In dipole-dipole interactions, the attraction between molecules is due to the difference in electronegativity between atoms.

Hydrogen Bonding

  • Hydrogen bonding typically involves atoms with high electronegativity, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine.

Physical Properties

  • Weak intermolecular forces are essential in determining the physical properties of substances despite being the weakest.
