Chapter 10 Flashcards
Intermolecular forces
forces that exist between atoms or molecules that do not want to form additional covalent binds. weaker than intramolecular forces. responsible for physical properties of substances
Intramolecular forces
Forces between electrons and nuclei that are responsible for covalent and ionic bonds. stronger than intermolecular forces
Induced dipole moment
Atoms or molecules with a permanent dipole moment of 0 acquire an induced dipole moment in the presence of other species. induced dipole moment=permanent dipole moment+(polarizability)(strength of electric field)
What determines the magnitude of an induced dipole moment?
polarizability, strength of magnetic field and distanfe
Polarizability
measure of deformability of the electron cloud of an atom or molecule
Electric field
(F) The region of space surrounding any molecular species
London dispersion interactions
Caused by induced dipole moments in molecules. Attractive forces that exist for all species with electrons. More important in nonpolar species. Cause induced dipole-induced dipole interactions
Boiling point trend
Increases as atomic number increases in NOBLE GASES ONLY
What determines boiling point?
The strength if attraction between liquid particles, because they need to be separated
Dispersion
momentary shift in electrons
Factors affecting strength if dispersion
- Size of atoms/molecules: Larger=more polarizable
2. Shape of molecules: more surface area=more interaction, linear molecules have higher dispersion
Relationship between dispersion and polarizability
Dispersion increases with polarizability
dipole-dipole interaction
attractive force between polar molecules
Hydrogen bond
Occurs between H, F/N/O, and an atom of O or N in another molecule
Dipole induced dipole interaction
Caused when nonpolar and polar molecules come in contact
