  1. Intermolecular Forces Chemistry Mrs. Coyle

  2. Intermolecular Forces • The forces with which molecules attract each other.

  3. Intermolecular Forces • Intermolecular forces are weaker than ionic or covalent bonds. • Intermolecular forces are responsible for the physical state of a compound (solid, liquid or gas).

  4. Intermolecular Forces • Van der Waals Forces • Dipole Interactions • Dispersion Forces • Hydrogen Bonds

  5. Van der Waals Forces • They are the weakest attractions between molecules.

  6. Dipole • A polar molecule that has two poles.

  7. Van der Waals-Dipole Interactions • Electrostatic interaction between the oppositely charged regions of polar molecules (dipoles).

  8. Which Molecules have Dipole Interactions? Polar Non-polar

  9. Which of the following molecules have dipole interactions? A) F2 B) CH4 C) H2O D) CH3Cl E) NH3

  10. Orientation of Polar Molecules in a Solid

  11. Van der Waals Forces-Dispersion Forces • Dispersion Forces • Caused by the motion of electrons. • Increase as the number of electrons increases. • Weakest of all intermolecular forces.

  12. Question • Why are fluorine and chlorine gases at room temperature, whereas bromine is a liquid and iodine is a solid?

  13. Hydrogen Bonding • Hydrogen bonding is the attraction between a hydrogen atom of a molecule to an unshared pair of electrons in another molecule. • Hydrogen bonding occurs in molecules where hydrogen is covalently bonded to a very electronegative element. • Hydrogen bonding occurs in molecules containing N, O, F.

  14. Hydrogen Bonding, Continued • Hydrogen bonds are the strongest of all intermolecular forces. • Hydrogen bonds are possible because in hydrogen atoms there is no shielding of the nucleus. • Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the physical properties of many biological substances and, more importantly, water.

  15. Which of the following molecules can have hydrogen bonding? A) F2 B) CH4 C) H2O D) CH3Cl E) NH3

  16. Dipole Interactions

  17. Why does ice have a lower density than liquid water?
