Interomolecular forces Flashcards
Three types of intermolecular forces
Permanent Dipole-Dipole
London forces
Hydrogen bonding
Weakest to strongest intermolecular forces
London force , permanent dipole-dipole and then hydrogen bonding
In hydrogen bonding what must the line be like
The lines must be parallel to the bond line and touching the outer electrons on the adjacent atom
How does hydrogen bonding work
Hydrogen bonding works by the hydrogen atoms becoming positive while the adjacent atom it is bonded to being negative . Another of the same compound is joined up with the hydrogen atom now being joined up to the positive adjacent atom
How does london forces work
Electrons spread in a random movement and temporarily create an induced dip like effect by one side of the atom having more electrons than the other making it more negative . This then repels electrons on the adjacent atom making it have the same effect and starts a chain reaction. This makes a london force between the negative side of one atom and the positive side of the other atom. This is the weakest force
How does a permanent dipole-dipole bond work
Between two polar molecules and itβs between negative and positive
Why do bonds with more electrons have higher boiling points
More and stronger london forces between atoms
