TOPIC: Intermolecular Forces How do particle diagrams of liquids & solids compare to those of gases?
2
Describe relative positions and motions of particles in each of 3 phases SOLID LIQUIDGAS
3
Why do some substances exist as gases, some as liquids, and some as solids at room temp?
4
Part of answer has to do with forces between separate molecules (called intermolecular forces)
5
Intermolecular forces between molecules. They are weaker. Intramolecular forces are between individual atoms (we will learn this later) Intramolecular forces Intermolecular forces
6
Intermolecular Forces-IMF Inter means “between” or “among” Intermolecular forces = forces between neighbouring compounds
7
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.
8
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… This separation of Charge is responsible For the forces Between the molecules

1. Dispersion Forces (van der waals) 1. Dispersion Forces (van der waals): ● weakest IMF ● occur between nonpolar molecules ● Click here for animation (slide 4 of 13) Click here for animation NonnoNonpolar means no poles (+/-) Can’t tell one end of molecule from other end electrons are evenly distributed
10
instantaneous and momentary fluctuate results from motion of electrons induce if charge cloud not symmetrical will induce asymmetry in neighbor’s charge cloud!
11
4 categories of Nonpolar Molecules (you need to memorize) Noble Gas molecules: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn diatomics if both atoms are same: (7) H 2, N 2, O 2, Cl 2, F 2, I 2, Br 2 Pure Hydrocarbons (C x H y ) : CH 4, C 2 H 6, C 3 H 8 small symmetrical molecule CO 2, CF 4, CCl 4
12
Dispersion Forces and Size Dispersion forces ↑ with molecule size larger the electron cloud, the greater the fluctuations in charge can be Rn > Xe > Kr > Ar > Ne > He I 2 > Br 2 > Cl 2 > F 2 C 8 H 18 > C 5 H 12 > C 3 H 8 > CH 4
13
Boiling point of N 2 is 77 K (-196˚C) IMF are very weak dispersion forces
14
2. Dipole-dipole forces 2. Dipole-dipole forces: intermediate IMF occur between polar 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
15
Dipole-dipole Forces & Polar Molecules Molecule shows permanent separation of charge; has poles: one end partly (-) & one end partly (+)
17
Polar means molecule has poles: (+) & (-) geometry and electron distribution are not symmetrical Polar Molecules
18
3. Hydrogen bonds 3. Hydrogen bonds: strongest IMF occur between molecules that have: H-F H-O or H-N bonds ONLY
19
Hydrogen Bonding H-O N-H Occurs between molecules with H-F, H-O, or H-N bonds
20
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
21
Strength of Hydrogen Bonding Fluorine most electronegative element, so H-F bonds are most polar and exhibit strongest hydrogen bonding H-F > H-O > H-N (H-bonding…sound like FON to me!!!)
22
Hydrogen bonding: strongest IMF influences physical props a great deal H-F > H-O > H-N
23
Strongest Intermolecular Force Hydrogen Bonding Dipole-Dipole Dispersion
24
Indicate type of IMF for each molecule: NH 3 Ar N 2 HCl HF Ne O 2 HBr CH 3 NH 2 Hydrogen bonding Dispersion forces Dipole-dipole forces Hydrogen bonding Dispersion Dipole-dipole Hydrogen bonding
25
O H H O H H H-Bonding = strongest IMF much harder to “pull” molecules apart
26
C Dispersion Forces= weakest IMF much easier to “pull” molecules apart C H H H H H H H H
27
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
28
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)
29
IMF vs. Temp IMF more important as temp is lowered Low temperature – low evaporation rate High temperature – high evaporation rate
30
Intermolecular forces determine phase “Competition” between strength of IMF & KE determines phase
31
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
32
It’s a balancing act! Intermolecular Forces weak Kinetic Energy High (fast) [this substance = a gas at room temperature]
33
Intermolecular Forces strong Kinetic Energy Low (slow) [this substance = a condensed phase (solid/liquid)]
34
REMEMBER… Temp = average KE If we change T we change KE Increase KE will help “pull” molecules apart (overcome IMF)
