Intermolecular Forces Flashcards
Intramolecular Forces
They are Covalent bonds which keep atoms clustered together within the molecule
Dipole dipole forces
type of Intermolecular force
- Only in polar molecules
- Is the attraction of Polar molecules due to their weak electrostatic attraction between dipoles
- Increases melting & boiling point
Dispersion Forces
intermolecular force
-Weakest force
- present in all molecules, mostly non polar
- Due to random movement of electrons within a molecule producing varying temporary dipole
Size of molecule increase = increase dispersion force
Intermolecular Forces
An electrostatic force of attraction between molecules
Hydrogen Bonding
-Strongest force
Attraction between a lone pair of electrons ( F, O or N atom) and hydrogen atom that is already covalently bonded to Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen atom
