intermolecular forces
the attractive forces that exist among the particles that compose matter
dispersion force (London dispersion forces or Van der Waals forces)
An intermolecular force (also referred to as London force) exhibited by all atoms and molecules that results from fluctuations in the electron distribution
dipole–dipole force
An intermolecular force exhibited by polar molecules that results from the uneven charge distribution
How do you determine if a molecule has dipole-dipole forces?
(1) determine if the molecule contains polar bonds; and (2) determine if the polar bonds add together to form a net dipole moment
hydrogen bond
A strong attraction between the H atom on one molecule and the F, O, or N on its neighbor
ion–dipole force
An intermolecular force that occurs when an ionic compound is mixed with a polar compound
Rank the weakest to strongest intermolecular forces:
Dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole bonding
How do you determine if a covalent bond has hydrogen bonding?
(1) draw the molecule (2) check to see if hydrogen is directly bonded with oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen
How do you determine if a covalent bond has ion-dipole bonding?
(1) draw molecule (2) observe formal charges of atoms (3) check for polar charges (4) if an ionic compounds and polar compounds are present then there is a ion-dipole bonding
How do you predict boiling point trends and solubility trends based on intermolecular forces for given covalent compounds?
(1) compare intermolecular forces, the stronger the force, the higher the boiling point (2) if the intermolecular forces are the same, compare the molecular mass; the higher the molecular mass, the higher the boiling point
What type of intermolecular force is responsible for the solubility of ionic compounds?
Ion-dipole
surface tension
The energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount; responsible for the tendency of liquids to minimize their surface area, giving rise to a membrane-like surface
Surface tension decreases as intermolecular forces …
decreases
viscosity
A measure of the resistance of a liquid to flow
Viscosity increases as intermolecular forces …
increase
As temperature rises, viscosity…
decreases
As temperature rises, surface tension …
decreases
Rank the intermolecular forces from highest surface tension and viscosity to lowest:
ion-dipole
hydrogen bonding
dipole-dipole
dispersion forces
vaporization
the phase transition from liquid to gas
condensation
the phase transition from gas to liquid
sublimation
the transition phase from solid to gas
deposition
the transition phase from gas to solid
melting or fusion
the transition phase from solid to liquid
freezing
the transition phase from liquid to solid
