The partially negative oxygens of the water molecules attract and pull away the positive sodium ions.

Big Question: For one substance to dissolve another, what is required of both substances?

Intermolecular Forces

inter + molecular forces = forces between molecules

Intermolecular Forces

inter + molecular forces = forces between molecules

Intermolecular forces are attractions between molecules.

Intermolecular forces are weaker than covalent or ionic bonds.

Are caused by molecule polarity

Intermolecular Forces

• Determine whether a molecule is a gas, liquid, or solid at a given temperature.

Think-Pair-Share• How do you think intermolecular forces may

determine the state of matter of a substance?

Intermolecular Forces

• Determine the ability of substances to dissolve one another.

Intermolecular Forces

Why don’t oil and water mix?

Oil is nonpolar.Water is polar.

• Determine the ability of substances to dissolve one another.

– “Like dissolves like”

– Polar molecules dissolve polar molecules and ionic compounds

– Nonpolar molecules dissolve nonpolar molecules only

Intermolecular Forces

3 Types of Intermolecular Forces

Listed in order of increasing strength:•London dispersion forces•Dipole-dipole interactions•Hydrogen bonding

Note: London dispersion forces and dipole-dipole interactions are collectively called van der Waals forces.

• Occur in ALL molecules

• The weakest of molecular interactions

• Caused by the motion of electronsElectrons are in constant motion. At times, more electrons can be on one side of a molecule than another.

What do you think happens to the molecule when electrons do this?

The strength of dispersion forces increases as the number of electrons in a molecule increases.

London Dispersion Forces

Dispersion Forces

The electron clouds get off-balance and attract each other slightly.

London Dispersion Forces

Temporary dipoles caused by the movement of electrons in a molecule.

London Dispersion Forces

Temporary dipoles caused by the movement of electrons in a molecule.

London Dispersion Forces

• A single dispersion force is very weak by itself.

• However, when millions and millions of dispersion forces happen in a substance the force dispersion force is a significant intermolecular force.

• The strength of dispersion forces increases as the number of electrons in a molecule increases.

London Dispersion Forces

At ordinary room temperature and pressure:

Fluorine and Chlorine = gases

Bromine = liquid

Iodine = solidWhy do you think this is? Explain in terms of dispersion forces.

• Occur in ALL molecules- polar and nonpolar

• The only type of intermolecular force found in nonpolar molecules

London Dispersion Forces

Dipole-Dipole Forces

• The + and – ends of polar molecules attract one another.

• Dipole-dipole interactions are similar to but much weaker than ionic bonds.

The slightly negative region of a polar molecule is weakly attracted to the slightly positive region of another polar molecule.

Dipole-Dipole Forces

Do you think Dipole-Dipole Forces will occur in nonpolar molecules?

Hydrogen Bonding• Strongest type of

intermolecular force

• Hydrogen bonding always involves hydrogen

• Hydrogen is bonded to a very electronegative atom (oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) A specialized type of dipole-dipole force

A single hydrogen bond has about 5 percent of the strength of the average covalent bond.

They are extremely important in determining the properties of water and biological molecules.

Hydrogen Bonding

The “Glue” Between Molecules• Dispersion force

• Dipole-dipole force

• Hydrogen bonding

Dihydrogen sulfide

Sulfur monoxide

Dinitrogen dihydride

How do intermolecular forces influence the physical properties of substances?

The diversity of physical properties among covalent compounds is mainly because of widely varying intermolecular attractions.
