Chapter 12 Flashcards
Intermolecular Forces
> Forces between particles
Influence physical properties of substance
Relatively weak because they involve smaller particles what are farther apart
Intramolecular Forces
> Force within a particle
Influence chemical properties
Relatively strong because they involve larger charge and are closer together
Types of Intermolecular Forces
- Ionic - cation to anion
- Covalent - nuclei shared e pair
- Metallic - cations delocalized electrons
Forces between Particles: Permanent
Molecules with a permanent dipole moment are POLAR
Forces between Particles: Instantaneous
Non-polar molecules and atoms can have an instantaneous dipole when electron density is condensed in one region at a particular moment
Forces between Particles: Induced
Non-polar molecules and atoms can have an induced dipole when their electron density is displaced because of contact with another charged substance
Types of Intermolecular Forces
Between particles of SAME substance:
- Dipole-Dipole
- Dispersion (London)
- Hydrogen bonding
Between particles of different substances:
- Ion-Dipole
- Ion-induced Dipole
- Dipole-induced Dipole
Dispersion Forces
> Result from instantaneous dipoles on atoms and molecules - occurs naturally
Random motions of electrons within an atom
Example: at any moment, two electrons can be on the same side of an atom, resulting in instantaneous dipole
This can induce a dipole on a second atom of the same kind, and so on
Dispersion Forces: Polarizability
> Strength of dispersion force depends on the polarizability
Tendency for charge separation to occur in a molecule
Particles with increased number of electrons have larger polarizability
Particles with large, spread out geometries have larger polarizability
Dipole-Dipole Forces
> Result from alignment of negative and positive ends of polar molecules
Hydrogen Bonding
> Special type of dipole-dipole force
Interaction of OXYGEN, NITROGEN, or FLOURINE with a hydrogen atom
Strong force because the hydrogen is small and easy to approach
Examples: water, ammonia
Ion-Dipole Force
> Force between an ionic compound and a polar compound
+ ends of molecule attracted to - ions
- ends of molecule attracted to + ions
Phases of Matter
> Gas to liquid, liquid to solid, etc.
> Depends on potential energy of molecules (intermolecular forces) and kinetic energy (temperature)
Properties of Liquids: Surface Tension
> The amount of energy (or work) required to increase the surface area of a liquid
Units = energy per unit area (Jm^-2)
Surface tension decreases as temperature increases
Tension is greater for particles with stronger intermolecular forces
Properties of Liquids: Liquids on Surfaces
> Interaction of liquid with another surface depends on:
1. Cohesive forces (holding liquid together)
2. Adhesive forces (forces between liquid molecules and surface)
A drop of liquid will maintain shape on a surface if cohesive forces are greater than adhesive
