Intermolecular Forces of Attraction

Intermolecular Forces of Attraction. CA Standards. Students know the atoms and molecules in liquids move in a random pattern relative to one another because the intermolecular forces are too weak to hold the atoms or molecules in a solid form.

  1. Intermolecular Forces of Attraction

  2. CA Standards Students know the atoms and molecules in liquids move in a random pattern relative to one another because the intermolecular forces are too weak to hold the atoms or molecules in a solid form.

  3. Forces that attract molecules to other molecules. These include: Hydrogen bonding Dipole-dipole attraction London dispersion forces Intermolecular Forces

  4. Relative Magnitudes of Forces The types of bonding forces vary in their strength as measured by average bond energy. Strongest Weakest Covalent bonds (400 kcal) Hydrogen bonding (12-16 kcal) Dipole-dipole interactions (2-0.5 kcal) Londonforces (less than 1 kcal)

  5. Hydrogen Bonding Bonding between hydrogen and more electronegative neighboring atoms such as oxygen and nitrogen Base pairing in DNA by hydrogen bonding

  6. Hydrogen Bonding in Water

  7. A molecule, such as HF, that has a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge is said to be polar, or to have a dipole moment. Polarity H F + -

  8. Dipole-Dipole Attraction Attraction between oppositely charged regions of neighboring molecules. Dipole-dipole attraction in hydrogen chloride, a gas that is used to make hydrochloric acid

  9. London (Dispersion) Forces • The weakest of intermolecular forces, these forces are proportional to the mass of the molecule • These are the only forces of attraction between completely nonpolar molecules • Large nonpolar molecules may have substantial dispersion forces, resulting in relatively high boiling points • Small nonpolar molecules have weak dispersion forces and exist almost exclusively as gases

  10. London Forces in Hydrocarbons
