TOPIC: Intermolecular Forces Part 1: Dispersion Forces Do Now: How do particle diagrams of liquids & solids compare to those of gases?

SOLID LIQUIDGAS

Why do some substances exist as gases, some as liquids, and some as solids at room temp?

Part of answer has to do with forces between separate molecules (called intermolecular forces)

Intermolecular forces between molecules. They are weaker. Intramolecular forces are between individual atoms (we will learn this later) Intramolecular forces Intermolecular forces

Intermolecular Forces=IMF Inter means “between” or “among” Intermolecular forces = forces between neighbouring compounds

***Separation of charge is responsible for the forces between the Molecules*** … Most atoms don’t have a charge, unless they are ions, so we often refer to them as having partial charges and write them like this

1. Dispersion Forces (van der waals) 1. Dispersion Forces (van der waals): ● weakest IMF ● occur between nonpolar (symmetrical) molecules ● Click here for animation (slide 4 of 13) Click here for animation NonnoNonpolar = no poles (no + or -) Can’t tell one end of molecule from other end electrons are evenly distributed

instantaneous and momentary fluctuate results from motion of electrons induce if charge cloud not symmetrical will induce asymmetry in neighbor’s charge cloud!

4 categories of Nonpolar Molecules - all these have DISPERSION FORCES (you need to memorize) Noble Gas –group 18:  He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn 7 diatomic elements  H 2, N 2, O 2, Cl 2, F 2, I 2, Br 2 Pure Hydrocarbons – molecules with only C and H  General formula C x H y : examples = CH 4, C 2 H 6, C 3 H 8 these 3 small symmetrical molecule  CO 2, CF 4, CCl 4

Dispersion Forces and Size The larger the molecule, the great the Dispersion forces = stronger IMF B/c, the larger the electron cloud, the greater the fluctuations in charge  Noble Gases: Rn has greater dispersion forces = strongest IMF  Diatomic Elements: I 2 is larger then F 2, so I 2 is larger (way more electrons) so greater dispersion forces, I 2 is a solid at room temp. F 2 is much smaller (less electrons) weaker dispersion forces, F 2 is a gas at room temp.

You try… Which has the greatest dispersion forces between it’s molecules? C 3 H 8 C 8 H 18 CH 4 C 5 H 12 Which is most likely a liquid/solid (not a gas) at room temp? C 3 H 8 C 8 H 18 CH 4 C 5 H 12 Which is most likely a gas at room temp? C 3 H 8 C 8 H 18 CH 4 C 5 H 12

The weaker the IMF, the lower the boiling point (BP) Br 2 = boils at 58.8°C, 137.8°F Compared to Water = boils at 100°C, 212°F So water must have stronger IMF

TOPIC: Intermolecular Forces Part 2: Dipole- Dipole and Hydrogen Bonding Do Now: List the 4 categories of Nonpolar Molecules – all of these have DISPERSION FORCES Noble Gas –group 18:  He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn 7 diatomic elements  H 2, N 2, O 2, Cl 2, F 2, I 2, Br 2 Pure Hydrocarbons – molecules with only C and H  General formula C x H y : examples = CH 4, C 2 H 6, C 3 H 8 these 3 small symmetrical molecule  CO 2, CF 4, CCl 4

All molecules have Dispersion forces (the regents calls these Van der Waals) 2 other types of forces (IMF): 1. Dipole-Dipole forces 2. Hydrogen bonds -if one of these are present, they are more important.

2. Dipole-dipole forces 2. Dipole-dipole forces: Stronger then dispersion forces occur between polar (asymmetrical) molecules (they have a partial charge at each pole – one is typically much larger than the other) Click here for animation (slide 3 of 13) Click here for animation

Dipole-dipole Forces & Polar Molecules Polar Molecule shows permanent separation of charge; has poles: one end partially (-) & one end partially (+); Asymmetrical

3. Hydrogen bonds 3. Hydrogen bonds: strongest IMF occur between molecules that have an : H-F H-O or H-N bonds ONLY Strongest Intermolecular Force Hydrogen Bonding Dipole-Dipole Dispersion

Hydrogen Bonding H-O N-H Occurs between molecules with H-F, H-O, or H-N bonds

Hydrogen Bonding Hydrogen bonding is extreme case of dipole-dipole bonding F, O, and N are all small and electronegative  strong electrons attraction  H has only 1 electron, so if being pulled away H proton is almost “naked” H end is always positive & F, O, or N end is always negative

Strength of Hydrogen Bonding Fluorine most electronegative element, so  H-F bonds are most polar and exhibit strongest hydrogen bonding, so strongest IMF  H-F is stronger than H-O which is stronger than H-N (H-bonding…sound like FON to me!!!)

O H H O H H H-Bonding = strongest IMF much harder to “pull” molecules apart

C Dispersion Forces= weakest IMF much easier to “pull” molecules apart C H H H H H H H H

Hydrogen bonding: strongest IMF influences physical props a great deal H-F > H-O > H-N IMF vs Physical Properties If IMF  then:  Boiling point   Melting point   Heat of Fusion   Heat of Vaporization  while:  Evaporation Rate  Change from solid to liquid w/o changing temp Change from liquid to gas w/o changing temp Rate at which conc. will go from liquid to gas

Why do some substances exist as gases, some as liquids, and some as solids at room temp? #1 reason = IMF

 If IMF are strong, substance will be solid or liquid at room temp  Particles want to clump together  If IMF are weak, substance will be gas at room temp  Particles free to spread apart

Why do some substances exist as gases, some as liquids, and some as solids at room temp? #1 reason = IMF #2 reason = temperature (avg. KE)

Temp = average KE If we change T we change KE Increase KE will help “pull” molecules apart (overcome IMF)
