Due to a temporary “ganging up” of electrons on one side of the molecule.

As the electrons move around the molecule, they can temporarily end up on one side.

This results in a portion of the molecule that has a partially negative charge and a portion with a partial positive charge.

London Dispersion Forces PropertiesProperties of London Dispersion Forces:

TemporaryThe electrons continue moving and “spread out” p y g pagain.

It’s temporary, and therefore weak.

The more electrons in a molecule, the greater the effect of “ganging up”.

Dipole-Dipole ForcesPolar molecules exhibit dipole-dipole forces.

Polar molecules have a permanent partial separation of charges.

The opposite charges on separate polar molecules are attracted to one another.

They are not chemical bonds, just physical attractions between opposite charges.

Dipole Forces PropertiesProperties of Dipole Forces:

Permanent dipolesPartial separation of charge within the p gmolecule is permanent.

Stronger IMF

Only polar molecules

Although the IMF is not permanent, the ability to form the IMF is.

A permanent dipole (separation of charges) is

can exhibit them

The stronger the dipole, the stronger the force

(separation of charges) is needed.

Stronger dipoles have greater attraction to other charges.

Hydrogen BondingHydrogen bonding is an especially strong case of dipole-dipole forces.Hydrogen atoms contain only 1 proton and 1 electron.

12/64

When hydrogen is bonded to a very electronegative atom (N, O or F), the separation of charges is very large as there are no other electrons around the hydrogen proton at all.

The hydrogen in this extreme dipole can be attracted to the lone pairs on an N, O or F atom on another molecule.

As the liquid evaporates, gas particles are formed which can then begin to condense down to the liquid form again.

As more gas particles are created, the rate of condensationincreases.

Equilibrium is reached when rate evaporation = rate condensation.

Volume of the Liquid and Equilibrium

The volume change as equilibrium is established.

Liquid volume decreases as initial gas particles are formed.

Liquid volume begins to increase as gas particles begin to re-condense.

Liquid volume is constant once equilibrium has been reached.

It’s less than the initial volume.

Crystalline Solid Has a highly regular, repeating arrangement of particles.

Amorphous SolidsAmorphous solids are still rigid—they are still solid…

But they’re particles are not trapped in a repeating y p pp p gpattern as in crystalline solids.

27/64

An example is glass.

The particles are trapped in a position before they have a chance to arrange themselves in a repeating pattern.

Metallic SolidsMetallic bonding contains metal atoms packed closely together and bonded to the atom in each direction equally.

This is called “closest packing”

33/64

This is called “closest packing”.

The electrons form a large “pool” that are free to move throughout the structure.This allows metals to conduct electricity!

Network SolidsNetwork solids can be thought of as one giant molecule.

Graphite

34/64

All of the atoms in the network solids are covalently bonded to their neighbors.

Examples of network solids include: graphite, diamonds, silica (sand)

Definition: Ionic Solids

Ionic Solids – Structure containing positive and negative ions (cations and anions).

37/64

Binary Ionic SolidsBinary ionic solids have a variation of the closest packing structures.

The larger ion is packed in the closest packing structure.

38/64

The smaller ion fits in between the holes created by the larger ion.

This minimizes repulsions from like-charged ions.

How is Boiling Point Determined?Boiling point is where …

vapor pressure = atmospheric pressure.

When the vapor pressure of the liquid is great enough to form “bubbles” boiling will occur.

Why Do Some Solids Sublime?Why do some substances (such as dry ice) go straight from solid to gas?

The intermolecular forces are very weak.

The solid particles have enough energy to break all of the IMF’s and go straight to a gas rather than

of the IMF s and go straight to a gas, rather than only breaking some of them and going to a liquid.

Multiple Choice Questions

Example: Which of the following has the highest melting point?

A. FB. ClB. ClC. BrD. IE. Same

Melting point is largely determined by intermolecular forces.

All of these are pure non-metal elements.

They have London Dispersion Forces only.

59/64

The larger the atom, the more electrons it has, the more London Dispersion Forces it has.

The more London Dispersion Forces it has, the more energy is needed to break the IMF’s to melt the solid.

Answer: D

Free Response Questions

Example: Use chemical bonding and/or intermolecular forces to explain the following observations:

A. At STP, propane (C3H8) is a gas, while octane (C8H18) is , p p ( 3 8) g , ( 8 18)a liquid.

B. MgO melts at a much higher temperature than CO2C. Ethanol (CH3CH2OH) dissolves in water much more

easily than ethane (CH3CH3).

These are the two sub-questions you can

Answering Free Response Questions

A. At STP, propane (C3H8) is a gas, while octane (C8H18) is a liquid.

Both molecules only have London Dispersion Forces. Propane is a larger molecule, therefore it has greater LDF. The greater

B. MgO melts at a much higher temperature than CO2

g , g gthe IMF’s, the more energy is needed to melt or boil a substance. C8H18 is larger, and therefore has more IMF’s, and therefore needs more energy to boil—which it hasn’t gotten at STP and is therefore a liquid still.

61/64

MgO is an ionic compound while CO2 is a non-polar covalent compound. MgO has London Dispersion Forces and Ion-Ion interactions while CO2 only has LDF. The more IMF’s, the more energy is needed to pull apart molecules (melt) and therefore, the MgO melts at a higher temperature.
