Intermolecular Forces/phase Diagram Flashcards
Gas
Far apart
Liquid
Closer than gas, longer than solid
Solid
Short
Changes in physical states
When a molecules changes states, distance between atoms or molecules changed
Intermolecular forces
Hold the molecules or atoms together
London dispersion forces
Non-polar molecules (no dipole moment)
Causes a temporary dipole moment
Weakest attraction
Long dispersion and trends in Nobel gases
As molar mass increases, # of e- increases which means the London dispersion forces become stronger. Boiling point increases harder to break
Dipole-dipole forces
Occur in polar molecules
Permanent dipoles interact with permanent i pole of neighbors
2nd strongest bonds
Hydrogen bonding
Special requirements: one of three most electronegative atoms (N,O,F) need to be bonded to hydrogen
Why is hydrogen bonding the strongest
When it looses its valence e-, it has no other and therefore the proton is exposed making it a direct attraction to the protein
Requirements for hydrogen bonding
- H directly bonded to N,O,F
2. Electronegative atom must have a lone pair
