diversity of matter and chemical bonding cont. Flashcards
INTRAMOLECULAR BOND
covalent bond; bonds within the molecule
INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
forces of attraction between molecules
- London Dispersion Forces (LDF)
- Dipole-Dipole Forces (DD)
- Hydrogen Bonding (H-Bond)
Which is strong?
Intermolecular forces
Intramolecular forces
Intramolecular forces (Covalent bonds)
London Dispersion Forces (LDF)
Special type of vanderwaals force; molecules feel attraction because protons of one feel attraction to electrons of another and vice versa.
How to calculate LDF
- add up atomic # of each atom in moelvule
What does low and high LDF mean?
low LDF: low magnitude
high LDF: high magnitude
what molecules have LDF?
all molecules, polar or non-polar
Dipole-Dipole Forces (DD)
the dipole of one polar molecule aligns with dipoles of neighbouring molecules in 3-D
- Slight- is attracted to the slightly+ of another dipoled
Hydrogen Bonding (HB)
strongest of the intermolecular forces
Is HB a DD?
yes; special type where a H nucleus is simultaneously attracted to the electron of its intramolecular bond, and a lone electron pair on an adjacent molecule
what qualifies as an HB?
H atom directly bonded to N, O , F
Best way to determine presence of intramolecular forces
- create a 3-D image of the molecule
- create a checklist

DD:

Kinetic Molecular Theory
- All matter is made up of tiny particles
- These particles are in constant motion
- As these particles are in motion, they do interact with each other
- The particles exhibit attractive forces over short distances (intramolecular forces)
Solid
- only vibrational motion
- flexion within bond length
- Restricted particles movement
Liquid
- vibrational and rotational motion
- lightly separated
