LESSON 1: Intermolecular Forces in Liquids and Solids Flashcards
explains the properties of gases assuming that gas act independently of each other.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
nonbonding forces that exist between molecules
Intermolecular Forces
exists between molecules and influences the physical properties of the substance.
Intermolecular
exists within each molecule and influences the chemical properties of the substance; can be ionic or covalent.
Intramolecular
In terms of attractive forces:
gas < liquid < solid
In terms of movement or collision:
solid < liquid < gas
Strength determines the state of the substance at room temperature meaning IMF
strong IMFs result in liquids and solids and weak IMFs result in gases
Another term for IMF?
Van de Waals Forces
- ion and partial charge
- found at the end of the polar molecule that attract each other
- dipoles are polar
- particularly important in solution or ionic
Ion-Dipole
- neutral polar molecules
- polar molecules attract each other when the positive end of one molecule
is near the negative end of another - weaker than Ion-Dipole
- if it is more polar, the stronger the dipole-dipole interaction; higher dipole,
stronger IMF
Dipole-Dipole
- nonpolar molecules or atoms
- may be unevenly distributed (instantaneous dipoles - induce dipoles in
neighbouring atoms or molecules) - depends on the molecular shape
- weakest IMF
- electron sharing
- small and compact, hence, much more difficult to polarize
- present in all molecules
London Dispersion
- hydrogen gas bonded with nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine
- a special type of dipole-dipole forces
- occurs in water, DNA, and proteins
Hydrogen Bond
IMF in terms of strongest to weakest:
Ion-Dipole > Hydrogen Bond > Dipole-Dipole > London Dispersion
attracts electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.
Electronegativity
