Chapter 10 Flashcards
IMF
Inter molecular forces
-Forces of attraction
- Gas-weak
- Liquide-Moderate
- Solid-Strong
Intramolecular Force
Those that hold the atoms together within the molecule (covalent bonds)
Intermolecular forces
attractions between molecules
Three types of intermolecular forces in Pure substances
- London dispersion force
Dispersion Force
-Are present in all atoms & molecules
-Even molecules with no net dipole moment with have fluctuations in the electron distribution that result in an instantaneous or transient dipole moment
-As a transient dipole is established in one molecule it induces a dipole in all the surrounding molecules
-Induced dipoles cause attractive forces: dispersion forces
Strength of intermolecular forces
Can be measured by boiling point
Polarizability:
The ease with which the electron cloud can be distorted by neighboring charges
Dipole-Dipole Forces
- Only occur between polar molecules (with fixed net dipoles)
Dominates when comparing molecules of similar size
But for molecules of very different sizes, dispersion forces dominate-will probably not give us a question on it
Hydrogen Bonding
-Only if an H bonded to F,O, & N
-Very electronegative atoms is bonded with H is strongly pulls the bonding electrons toward it
- The H nucleus becomes exposed, acts as a very strong center of positive charge
-If another molecule has a F, O, N it will have a strong parctial negative charge
Format X-H-Y
X & Y must be F,O, or N
Dispersion Forces
the weakest, present in all molecules
✓Increase with increasing molar mass
✓Can be significant in large molecules
Higher boiling point for stronger forces
Ion-dipole forces
An attractive force that results from the electrostatic attraction between an ion and a neutral molecule that has a dipole.
There will be questions on ranking boiling point, intermolecular
Viscosity
he resistance of a liquid to flow
Stronger intermolecular forces →higher viscosity
You can look at the number of hydrogen bonds and what has bonds
Cohesive Forces
Cohesive forces: the forces that bind molecule to
each other in a liquid (IMFs)
✓because they have fewer neighbors, the surface
molecules are less stable (aka higher energy) than
those in the interior
✓leads liquids to minimize their surface are & minimize
interactions w/ surfaces
Surface Tension
Surface tension: the energy required to increase
the surface area by a given amount
✓ Water has a high surface tension due to its strong hydrogen bonds
