Why do some solids dissolve in water but others do not?
Why are some substances gases atroom temperature, but others are liquidor solid?
What gives metals the ability to conductelectricity, what makes non-metals
brittle? The answers have to do with

Intermolecular forces
Overview There are 2 types of attraction in molecules:intramolecular bonds & intermolecular forces
We have already looked at intramolecular bonds (ionic, polar, non-polar) Intermolecular forces (IMF) have to do with
the attraction between molecules (vs. theattraction between atoms in a molecule)
IMFs come in six flavours: 1) ionic, 2) dipole- dipole, 3) H-bonding, 4) London forces, 5)
covalent (network solids), 6) metallic

Ionic, Dipole - Dipole attractions We have seen that moleculescan have a separation of charge
This happens in both ionic andpolar bonds (the greater the EN,
the greater the dipoles) H Cl

Molecules are attracted to each other in acompound by these +ve and -ve forces

H - bonding H-bonding is a special type of dipole - dipole
attraction that is very strong It occurs when N, O, or F are bonded to HQ- Calculate the EN for HCl and H 2 O
A- HCl = 2.9-2.1 = 0.8, H 2 O = 3.5-2.1 = 1.4 The high EN of NH, OH, and HF bonds
cause these to be strong forces (about 5x
stronger than normal dipole-dipole forces) They are given a special name (H-bonding)because compounds containing these bondsare important in biological systems

London forces Non-polar molecules do not have dipoles
like polar molecules. How, then, can non-polar compounds form solids or liquids?
London forces are named after Fritz London(also called van der Waal forces)
London forces are due to small dipoles thatexist in non-polar molecules
Because electrons are moving around inatoms there will be instants when the chargearound an atom is not symmetrical
The resulting tiny dipoles cause attractionsbetween atoms/molecules

London forces
Instantaneous dipole: Induced dipole:
Eventually electronsare situated so that
tiny dipoles form
A dipole forms in one atomor molecule, inducing a
dipole in the other

Testing concepts1. Which attractions are stronger: intermolecular or
intramolecular?2. How many times stronger is a covalent bond
compared to a dipole-dipole attraction?3. What evidence is there that nonpolar molecules
attract each other?4. Which chemical in table 10.1 has the weakest
intermolecular forces? Which has the strongest?How can you tell?
5. Suggest some ways that the dipoles in Londonforces are different from the dipoles in dipole-dipoleattractions.
6. A) Which would have a lower boiling point: O 2 or F 2?Explain. B) Which would have a lower boiling point:
NO or O 2? Explain.

7. Which would you expect to have the higher meltingpoint (or boiling point): C 8H18 or C 4H10 ? Explain.
8. What two factors causes hydrogen bonds to be so
much stronger than typical dipole-dipole bonds?9. So far we have discussed 4 kinds of intermolecular forces: ionic, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, andLondon forces. What kind(s) of intermolecular
forces are present in the following substances:a) NH 3, b) SF 6, c) PCl 3, d) LiCl, e) HBr, f) CO 2(hint: consider EN and molecular shape/polarity)
Challenge: Ethanol (CH 3CH 2OH) and dimethyl ether
(CH 3OCH 3) have the same formula (C 2H6O).Ethanol boils at 78 C, whereas dimethyl ether boilsat -24 C. Explain why the boiling point of the ether is so much lower than the boiling point of ethanol.
Challenge: try answering the question on the next slide.

Testing concepts1. Intramolecular are stronger.2. A covalent bond is 100x stronger.3. The molecules gather together as liquids or
solids at low temperatures.4. Based on boiling points, F 2 (-188) has the
weakest forces, H 2S has the strongest (-61).5. London forces
Are present in all compounds
Can occur between atoms or molecules Are due to electron movement not to EN Are transient in nature (dipole-dipole are
more permanent ). London forces are weaker

6. A) F 2 would be lower because it is smaller.
Larger atoms/molecules can have their electron clouds more easily deformed andthus have stronger London attractions and
higher melting/boiling points.B) O 2 because it has only London forces. NOhas a small EN, giving it small dipoles.
7. C 8H18 would have the higher melting/boilingpoint. This is a result of the many more sitesavailable for London forces to form.
8. 1) a large EN, 2) the small sizes of atoms.

9. a) NH 3: Hydrogen bonding (H + N), London.
b) SF 6: London only (it is symmetrical).c) PCl 3: EN=2.9-2.1. Dipole-dipole, London.d) LiCl: EN=2.9-1.0. Ionic, (London).
e) HBr: EN=2.8-2.1. Dipole-dipole, London.f) CO 2: London only (it is symmetrical)
Challenge: In ethanol, H and O are bonded (thelarge EN results in H-bonding). In dimethylether the O is bonded to C (a smaller ENresults in a dipole-dipole attraction rather than hydrogen bonding).

Testing conceptsBoiling points increase down a group (asperiod increases) for two reasons: 1) ENtends to increase and 2) size increases. Alarger size means greater London forces.
Boiling points are very high for H 2O, HF, and
NH3 because these are hydrogen bonds(high EN), creating large intermolecular forces
