Physical Pharmacy Flashcards
Deals with the physicochemical principles underlying the dev’t of a successful dosage form.
PHYSICAL PHARMACY
Forces WITHIN the molecule
INTRAmolecular
forces between molecules to exists as aggregates in gases, liquids, and solids
INTERmolecular
Forces BETWEEN molecules to exists as aggregates in gases, liquids, and solids
INTERmolecular
Attraction of LIKE molecules
COHESION
Attraction of UNLIKE molecules
ADHESION
Arise when dipolar molecules approach e/o; “+ to +” or “- to -”.
REPULSIVE FORCES
TYPES OF INTERMOLECULAR FORCES OF ATTRACTION
▪ Weak forces than covalent bond (50 to 100 kcal/mole) and ionic bond (100 to 1000 kcal/mole).
▪ Molecular interactions involved in solubility, complexation, and other physical bonding phenomena.
▪ Exist between ALL atoms + molecules.
▪ Critically dependent on the separation distance of the atoms or molecules from each other.
VAN DER WAALS FORCES
- Between POLAR molecules
- 1-7 kcal/mole
- H2O, HCl, Alcohol, Acetone, Phenol
Dipole-Dipole
[Keesom Forces]
- A POLAR molecule can produce a temporary electric
dipole in NON-POLAR molecules that are easily
polarizable. - 1-3 kcal/mole
- Ethylacetate, Methylene Chloride, Ether
Dipole-Induced Dipole
[Debye Forces]
- Originate from molecular internal vibrations in NON-POLAR molecules to produce attraction due
to synchronized fluctuating dipoles in neighboring atoms. - Temporary forces
- Responsible for liquefaction of gases.
- 0.5 to 1 kcal/mole
- CS2, CCl4, Hexane
Induced Dipole-Induced Dipole
[London Induction Forces]

ION-ION, ION-DIPOLE, ION-INDUCED DIPOLE FORCES
Exist between milecules containing H + strongly electronegative element.
HYDROGEN BONDS
[STATES OF MATTER]
- Molecules travel in random + rapid motion.
- Exhibit pressure within confined system (dynes/cm2, mmHg, atm)
- Volume of gases is the volume of the container into which it is confined (L, cm3, mL)
GAS
- Gases are composed of particles called MOLECULES.
- Particles of gases do not attract one another but rather move with complete independence.
- Particles exhibit continuous random motion owing to their kinetic energy.
- The molecules exhibit perfect elasticity.
