Types Of Intermolecular Forces Flashcards
Ion-induced dipole forces
The ion affects the electron cloud around an atom or molecule when it is nearby, cause a temporary dipole
E.g Na+ and hexane
Ion-dipole
When a polar molecule approaches a negative of positive ion. The dipole will move so that the side closest to the ion has the opposite charge
Dipole-dipole forces
- Attraction forces between slightly positive pole of one atom in the polar molecule and the slightly negative pole of the other atom on a polar molecule.
- When 2 dipoles approach each other, they will turn so that their oppositely-charged ends will be closer
- relative small force of attraction between the two permanent dipoles (5-25 kJ)
Dipole -induced dipole
A polar molecule (permanent dipole) can induce a temporary dipole in a non-polar molecule or atom. This results in an attractive force between the two oppositely charged dipole.
These forces are very weak
O2 in water
Induced dipole force (dispersion forces or London forces)
When two non-polar molecules or atoms approach each other, there is a slight change in the charge distribution in the electron cloud of both molecules or atoms. Electrons will not be exactly equally arranged around the atom/molecule. They are temporary and will disappear and reform between other particles in a direction direction... Weak forces (bond energy 0.05 - 40kJ) The larger the molecule, the stronger the attraction
Hydrogen bonds
Occurs between molecules in which hydrogen is bonded to a small atom with an extremely high electronegativity, as in compounds with O,F and N
Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic force between a slightly - charge on the electronegative atom one molecule to the slight + charge on the hydrogen of one of the other molecules.
Very strong compared to other dipoles-dipole forces (10-25 kJ) however it is weaker than covalent and ionic bonds
What are interatomic forces
Forces that hold the different atoms together in a molecule.
