1
Intermolecular Forces Forces Between Molecules
2
Intermolecular Forces 4 Electrical forces between molecules causing one molecule to influence another 4 Heats of vaporization give a measure of the strength of attractions present between molecules –the energy required to separate molecules when changing from liquid to gas state
3
Ionic Compounds 4 The forces of attractions in ionic compounds are the electrostatic force between ions A relatively strong force H vap / 100 kJ/mol
4
Molecular Compounds Polar Molecules
5
- + -+- + - + - Molecules are electrically neutral overall but organize themselves by attractions of head to tail dipole orientation 4 Force of attraction between molecules is a dipole-dipole attraction 4 Dipole-dipole forces are smaller than ion- ion forces H vap. 20 kJ/mol
6
Hydrogen Bonding A Special Dipole-Dipole Interaction
7
Hydrogen Bonding The energy of the H- bond depends on the electronegativity of the X-atom F > O > N. Cl :X-H....... :X-H -- ++ ++
8
non-polar molecule Heats of Vaporization
9
Molecular Compounds Non-Polar Molecules
10
4 Non-polar molecules do not possess permanent dipoles 4 Force of attraction between molecules is a London Force
11
H vap increases with increasing numbers of electrons
12
Principles of Solubility Solubility is dependent on intermolecular forces
13
Liquid-Liquid 4 “like dissolves like” 4 liquids with similar structures (similar type & magnitude intermolecular forces) will be soluble in each other in all proportions.
14
Example 4 Both are held together by London Forces 4 When a pentane molecule passes into a volume of hexane molecules, there is no significant environment change hexane pentane
15
Oil Slicks 4 Non-polar substances have little water solubility –Water molecules are held together by H-bonds –Non-polar are held together by London Forces 4 H-bonds must be broken to dissolve appreciable quantities of non-polar substances in water
16
Oil Slicks 4 For substances to be soluble, there must be compensation for any forces broken in the dissolution process. 4 Since there is no compensating force between a non-polar molecule and a water molecule, enough energy is not available to break the H-bonds
17
Water Solubility of Polar Molecules 4 Water will dissolve some polar molecules 4 CH 3 OH and CH 3 CH 2 OH are capable of forming H-bonds 4 Intermolecular forces between these alcohols and water are similar to those forces in pure alcohol and pure water.
18
Water Solubility of Alcohols 4 Solubility decreases as length of carbon chain increases 4 As the chain gets longer, more H-bonds in the water must be broken to make room for the alcohol. 4 Not enough H-bonds can be reformed to compensate
19
Non-Polar & Slightly Polar Substances 4 Most soluble in solvents of low polarity 4 Least soluble in H-bonding solvents
20
The DDT Story 4 Soluble in non-polar or slightly polar solvents 4 Concentrates in fatty tissue of fish, birds & game 4 Quite water insoluble –isn’t washed out of contaminated soil
21
Solid-Liquid 4 Solids always have limited solubility in liquids –due to differences in the magnitudes of intermolecular forces in solid vs. liquid state –at 25 o C a solid has much stronger intermolecular forces than a liquid
22
Solid-Liquid 4 The closer a solid is to its mp, the better its intermolecular forces will match up with a liquid 4 Typically, solubility increases as the temperature increases 4 Low mp solids tend to exhibit greater solubility than high mp solids
