Intermolecular Forces In the particles of a liquid the particles are much closer than in a gas. This is because they have greater intermolecular forces. Intermolecular forces exist between particles and there are different types. They have a huge impact on molecular properties.
Ion-Dipole Forces These are among the strongest IMFs. Ion-Ion forces are stronger. These forces occur between an ion and a polar covalent compound. The strength of the force depends on the distance, the charge of the ion, and the magnitude of the dipole.
Enthalpy of Hydration This enthalpy measures the change of energy involved with the hydration of ions. The enthalpy depends on 1/d. The d is distance. As the atomic radius increases, the enthalpy decreases. Why is the enthalpy larger for sodium than cesium? Why is magnesium even bigger than sodium or cesium? Would fluorine or chlorine have a higher enthalpy? Why?
Dipole-Dipole Attractions These happen when two polar molecules interact. The positive end of one molecule is attracted to the negative end of another. These influence evaporation and condensation. Which process is endothermic? Which is exothermic? Greater IMFs cause the energy required to separate molecules increase. This is why polar compounds typically have higher boiling points than nonpolar compounds.
Like Dissolves Like This is a common statement in chemistry. It is saying that a polar molecules can be dissolved in a polar solvent, but not a nonpolar one. This is a result of the IMFs. Water and oil don’t mix because water is polar while oil is nonpolar.
Hydrogen Bonding The hydrogen involved must be bonded to a nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine. It will be attracted to a nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine with a lone pair of electrons. Which molecule will have a higher boiling point? Ethanol of dimethyl ether? Draw the Lewis structure for methanol (CH 3 OH). Describe how the hydrogen bonding occurs in methanol.
Hydrogen Bonding in Water Hydrogen bonding in water explains one of the unique characteristics of water. Water is one of the few substances that has a higher density as a liquid than a solid. Water’s density is greatest at 4°C. Water colder than that will be on top and eventually freezes. It keeps aquatic species alive as a result. Hydrogen bonding is also responsible for the high heat capacity of water. This is why large bodies of water have a large effect on the weather.
Dipole/Induced Dipole Forces Some nonpolar substances such as oxygen and nitrogen can have a dipole induced by polar molecules. The dipole of a polar molecule can affect the electrons in the nonpolar molecule and induce a dipole. The process of inducing a dipole is called polarization. Larger atoms are easier to polarize.
London Dispersion Forces These are also called induced dipole/induced dipole forces. In nonpolar substances, a dipole can be induced when molecules are close and their electrons repel. This warps the electron cloud and creates dipoles. This also occurs in polar molecules, but it is the only IMF for nonpolar molecules.

Vaporization Vaporization is when a liquid changes into a gas. Molecules at a particular temperature have a range of energies. The molecules with the highest energies can evaporate. There is energy exchanged when a liquid is vaporized. The molar enthalpy of vaporization, Δ vap H, gives us how many kilojoules per mole are needed to vaporize a liquid. They are given in a table on page 572. Will the values for the enthalpy of vaporization be positive or negative?
Condensation Condensation is when a gas turns into a liquid. How can we determine the molar enthalpy of condensation?
Example You put 925 mL of water in a pan at 100°C and the water evaporates. How much energy was transferred as heat? Density of water at 100°C = g/mL
Practice The molar enthalpy of methanol, CH 3 OH, is 35.2 kJ/mol. How much energy is required to evaporate 1.00 kg of methanol?
Vapor Pressure If a liquid is in a sealed container, it will evaporate until it reaches an equilibrium. Molecules evaporate and condense at the same rate. When the equilibrium occurs, the pressure of the gas is the vapor pressure. A liquid with a large vapor pressure at equilibrium is called volatile. As temperature increases, vapor pressure increases. A vapor pressure curve gives you pressure and temperature and any point on the curve tells a pressure and temperature where an equilibrium occurs.
Example If you place 2.00 L of water in a room with a volume of 4.25X10 4 L. Will the water evaporate at 25°C? Vapor pressure=23.8 mm Hg
Practice What is the vapor pressure of ethanol at 40°C? Is there an equilibrium if the temperature is 60°C and the pressure is 600 mm Hg? If not, do you have more liquid or vapor?

Clausius-Clapeyron Equation
Boiling Point and Pressure The boiling point varies with pressure. In Salt Lake City, the pressure is about 650 mm Hg and the boiling point of water is about 95 °C. The line between liquid and solid does not continue forever. Once the critical point is reached. At pressures and temperatures above the critical point, the substance is a supercritical fluid. A supercritical fluid is like a gas with high pressure and the density is closer to a liquid’s density and the viscosity is close to a gas. Supercritical carbon dioxide is used to decaffeinate coffee.
Characteristic of Liquids Surface Tension- the energy required to break through the surface or disrupt a liquid drop. Capillary Action- water molecules are attracted to polar substances, like glass or paper, and rise up with paper due to IMFs. Viscosity- the resistance of liquids to flow. Water has a low viscosity, while molasses has a very high viscosity. Longer carbon chains are more viscous. Which is more viscous? or
