Intermolecular Forces+condensed Matter Flashcards
What are intramolecular forces
They keep together the atoms within the molecules and ionic compounds(bonds)
What are intermolecular forces
Interactions that occur between the molecules. They are responsible for formation of liquid and solid and state in ehich substance exist at a particular temperature and pressure
How are condensed phases held together
By attractive interactions between the molecules
Are intermolecular forces stronger than covalent bonds
No
Types of intramolecular forces
•ion-ion interactions
(These 2 are van der waals interactions)
•Dipole-dipole int.
•dispersion forces(London)-(instant)dipole-induced dipole
—–
•hydrogen bond->dipole-dipole
Explain polarity in diatomic molecule
If 2 elements are of the same electronegativity that compound in non-polar. When two elements have different electronegativity, the dipole is created where one side of the molecule is negatively charged(б-) and other positively(б+). Direction of molecular dipole is represented by the arrow that goes from б- to б+
What is polar molecule
Any molecule with non-zero dipole moment. The units of dipole moment are debyes, D
Explain polarity in polyatomic molecules
The dipole moments can cances each other out(ex. б- ,б+,б-) because direction of the dipole is in the center and they cancel each other. While б+,б-,б+ doesnt cancel each other because it goes into different directions
What does determine that polyatomic molecule is polar or not
It’s shape and whether the polarities of individual bonds cancel out
What kind of interactions do molecules with the dipole moment have
Electrostatic
How do molevules in liquids align
They want to maximize attraction forces
What kind of attractive interactions exist in non-polar substances
Dispersion/London forces
Explain how temporary dipole is created
When a molecule with a dipole approaches molecule without one, it induces movement of e- causing temporary dipole
What is measured by polarizability
The strength of induced dipole. It also explains how easily it is to move electron cloud of non polar molecule around
What increases intersction between instantenuous dipoles
Molar mass(more e-) and shape(higher in long and non symmetric molecules)
