intermolecular forces
attraction between atoms, ions, or molecules that hold them together (look at atom types to determine IMF)
london dispersion forces (LDF)
occurs between all molecules (even nonpolar)
⮕ lowest strength
dipole-dipole
between polar molecules
⮕asymmetrical molecules
⮕ more polar (difference in polarity) the stronger the attraction
hydrogen bonding
polar molecules
⮕type of dipole-dipole
⮕H attached to FON
ionic
occurs between metal and nonmetal atoms
⮕ stronger when charges are larger and the ions are smaller (coulombs law)
metallic
occurs between only metals
network covalent
between C, Si. C and O or Si and O.
multiple covalent bonds form large macromolecules
⮕stronger when there are more covalent bonds formed.
Properties of substances due to IMF’s
boiling, melting, freezing point 🡱
enthalpy of fusion/vaporization 🡱
vapor pressure 🡳
viscosity 🡱
surface tension 🡱
lattice energy 🡱
solubility 🡳
lattice
3D system of points; positions of centers of the components
ionic solids
ions at points of lattice that describe the structure of the solid
🠮 smaller ions and ions with higher charges will have stronger attractions between ions –> higher lattice energy value
🠮 brittle due to repulsion (1 layer slides across another) causing solid to vibrate
🠮 conduct electricity when ions are mobile (melted or dissolved)
🠮generally occurs between metal cations and nonmetal anions
network covalent solids
atoms at lattice points with strong covalent bonds (Boron, Carbon, Silicone)
🠮only formed from nonmetals
🠮characterized by hardness, strength, and high melting points
molecular solids
composed of distinct, individual units of covalently- bonded molecules attracted due to weak intermolecular forces
🠮nonmetal atoms covalently bonded together
🠮have low melting points
don’t conduct electricity bc valence electrons tightly held within covalent bonds and lone pairs of each constituent molecule
🠮 sometimes polymers (large molecules)
metallic solids
consist of metallic crystals with spherical metal atoms packed together and bonded to each other equally in all directions
🠮movement of electrons cause metals to be good conductors of heat and electricity.
polarization
ability of an atom to form a temporary dipole
–> LDS stronger when atom or molecule has more electrons
the more polar the molecule
the stronger the attraction
the more polatizable
the stronger the LDF
