GenChem 2 L2: Intermolecular Forces of Attraction (1) Flashcards
attractive forces that are present between molecules
Intermolecular Forces of Attraction
Types of Intermolecular Forces:
● the interaction between two oppositely charged particles
● metal to metal interaction
● these interactions are between electrically charged particles (positively and negatively charged)
Ion-Ion interaction
a molecule or atom that carries a net electrical charge
Ion
+ - charge - ___
– charge - ___
cation
anion
holds together the particles in an ionic compound
Ionic Bonds
Types of Intermolecular Forces:
● responsible for the dissolution of most Ionic solids in polar solvents
● this interaction happens between nonmetals
● The partially positive end of the polar molecule interacts with the union
● The partially negative end of the polar molecule interacts with the cation
Ion-Dipole interaction
actual charge distributed over the total volume of the ion
Charge Density
a certain molecule that has a partially negative and positivesign
Dipole
Types of Intermolecular Forces:
● present in polar molecules, which are described as dipoles
● partially positive end of one molecule interacts with the partially negative end of a neighboring molecule.
Dipole-Dipole interaction
Types of Intermolecular Forces:
● strongest types of IMFA
● an attractive force that exists when hydrogen is bonded to the most electronegative atoms, namely F, O, or N
