Intermolecular Forces and Liquids and Solids Chapter 12

1.See Table 12.3 in Chang. Note that glycerol has the highest viscosity of the liquids shown. Look up the structure and provide a reason why glycerol is more viscous than water. Viscosity increases with the strength of intermolecular forces. Glycerol and water are both polar compounds: dispersion forces and dipole-dipole forces. Both are capable of hydrogen bonding, a special kind of dipole- dipole force. Difference in viscosity must be explained in terms of the number of hydrogen bonds that can be formed.

12.13 Arrange the following compounds in order of increasing boiling point: RbF, CO 2, CH 3 OH, CH 3 Br. Explain your arrangement. Are any of the compounds ionic? If so, they will exhibit the stronger intermolecular forces. Are any of the compounds nonpolar? If so, they exhibit the weakest intermolecular forces. Are any compounds polar? If so, they will exhibit intermediate molecular forces. Are any of the polar compounds capable of hydrogen bonding? If so, they will exhibit the stronger intermediate forces. RuF CO 2 CH 3 OH, CH 3 Br CH 3 OH

12.19 These nonpolar molecules have the same number and type of atoms. Which one would you expect to have a higher boiling point? (Hint: Molecules that can be stacked together more easily have greater intermolecular attraction.) The molecule with the larger surface area has stronger van der Waals forces; for two molecules with the same molecular formula but different connectivities (structural isomers), the less compact molecule has the larger surface area. A linear isomer is less compact than a branched isomer. linear branched

12.15 Which member of each of these pairs of substances would you expect to have the highest boiling point: (a) O 2 or N 2, (b) SO 2 or CO 2, (c) HF or HI? Explain in terms of intermolecular forces why (a) NH 3 has a higher boiling point than CH 4 and (b) KCl has a higher melting point than I 2.

Solids Crystalline—high order (regular repeating pattern) Amorphous—low order

Attractions in Ionic Crystals In ionic crystals, ions pack themselves so as to maximize the attractions and minimize repulsions between the ions.

We can determine the empirical formula of an ionic solid by determining how many ions of each element fall within the unit cell.

What are the empirical formulas for these ionic solids? (a) Green: chlorine; Gray: cesium (b) Yellow: sulfur; Gray: zinc (c) Green: calcium; Gray: fluorine CsClZnSCaF 2 (a)(b)(c)
