Properties of Molecules based on its Polarity
Polarity, Solubility, and Miscibility
- is defined as the ability of a solid substance to be dissolved in a given
amount of solvent.
Solubility
- is the ability of the two liquids to combine or mix in all proportions,
creating a homogenous mixture.
Miscibility
general rule of the solubility and miscibility of molecular
compounds:
“like dissolves like” or “like mixes with like”.
Bond Strength and Physical Properties of Covalent Compounds
Intramolecular forces of attraction
Intermolecular forces of attraction (IMFA)
– it is the attractive force that binds atoms
together.
Intramolecular forces of attraction
– it is another type of attractive force
which exists between molecules.
Intermolecular forces of attraction (IMFA)
There are several types of IMFA and below they are arranged from
STRONGEST to WEAKEST.
Ion-dipole
H-bonding
dipole-dipole
dipole-induced dipole
London forces of
attraction
The physical properties of substances:
Boiling point
Melting point -
Surface tension
Viscosity
Vapor pressure
Volatility
- temperature at which the vapor pressure and atmospheric
pressure of a liquid substance are equal.
Boiling point
- temperature at which solid becomes liquid.
Melting point
- energy needed to increase the surface area by a unit
amount;
Surface tension
- the resistance of the liquid to flow
Viscosity
- pressure exerted by a substance in its gaseous state.
Vapor pressure
- measures the rate at which a substance vaporizes
Volatility
Atoms in molecules and ionic substances are attracted to each other
either by
sharing or complete transfer of electrons
Atoms are held together in molecules by
strong intramolecular forces
Named after the Dutch chemist Johannes van der Waals (
Van der Waals forces
is present among polar molecules.
Dipole-dipole attraction
just like the dipole-dipole forces, depends on the presence of polar
molecules. The other molecule needs not be a polar one.
Dipole-induced dipole interaction
Named after the German physicist Fritz London
Dispersion forces (London dispersion forces)
Are the results from the attraction between either a cation (+) or an anion
(-) with permanent polar molecules
Ion-dipole interaction
is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between the H-atoms in a
polar bond.
H-bonding
