Intermolecular forces vs Intramolecular forces

• Intramolecular forces are bonds within an atom

• Intermolecular forces are interactions between molecules/formula units

• Intermolecular forces are weaker than intramolecular forces– Consider H2O(l) H2O(g) 100oC

– Consider 2H2O(l) H2(g) and O2(g) 1% 2000oC

• Boiling points and melting points– Why are they different for different compounds/molecules?– Depends upon the intermolecular forces.– Stronger attractive forces mean more energy (heat) needed to

break intermolecular interactions apart.

Properties of Liquids

• Liquids, gases and solids all have attractive forces between molecules (intermolecular forces). Between gases, the forces are very, very minimal, thus the gas laws.

• The interactive forces between molecules of liquid are responsible for surface tension, viscosity, and vapor pressure.

Properties of Liquids and Solids

Liquids

• No mathematical relationship like ideal gas law works for liquids and solids. Depends solely on the interactions (forces of attraction) between the molecules.– High densities in comparison to gases– Indefinite shape (assume shape of container)– Definite volume

Surface Tension and Viscosity – Intermolecular Forces

• Surface tension is defined as the tendency of liquids to minimize their surface area (a “skin” is produced).

• Viscosity is defined as the resistance of a liquid to flow.

• Both of these properties of liquids are due to intermolecular forces.

Evaporation (Vaporization) and Condensation

• Vaporization – a physical change in which a substance is converted from a liquid to a gas– Rate of vaporization –

• Increases with greater surface area• Increases with increase in temperature• Decreases with decreasing strength of

intermolecular forces

• Condensation – a physical change in which a substance is converted from a gas to a liquid

Vapor Pressure and Dynamic Equilibrium

• Vapor Pressure of a liquid is the partial pressure of its vapor in dynamic equilibrium with its liquid.

Vapor Pressure

• Think of it as the “escaping tendency” of molecules to go from a liquid to a gas.

• Vapor pressure increases as temperature rises.

• The higher the vapor pressure the more volatile the liquid is. The more volatile a liquid is the more readily it will evaporate.

Boiling Point

• The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure above it

• Normal Boiling Point- boiling point at 1 atmosphere

Heating Curve

Endothermic and Exothermic

• Evaporation is endothermic. – When a liquid is converted to a gas, it absorbs

energy.

• Condensation is exothermic.– When a gas is converted to a liquid, it releases

heat.

CHECKCheck your answer. Are the units correct? Does the answer make physical sense?

The units (g) are correct. The magnitude of the answer makes sense because each mole of water absorbs about 40 kJ of energy upon vaporization. Therefore 155 kJ should vaporize close to 4 mol of water, which is consistent with the answer (4 mol of water has a mass of about 72 g).

Melting Point

• The point at which enough thermal energy is applied to cause a solid to become a liquid.

Types of Intermolecular Forces

• Dipole-dipole = two polar molecules– Hydrogen bonding is a strong dipole-dipole

• Ion-dipole = an ion and a polar molecule• Dispersion forces = between nonpolar

compounds; temporary dipoles

Sublimation

• A substance changes from a solid to a gas.

Types of Intermolecular Forces

• Dispersion Forces• Dipole-dipole forces• Hydrogen bonding

Dispersion Forces

• Temporary dipoles (instantaneous dipoles)• Depends on location of electrons at any given

time frame in atom’s orbitals

Example 12.3 Dispersion Forces

The molar mass of Cl2 is 70.90 g/mol, and the molar mass of I2 is 253.80 g/mol. Since I2 has the higher molar mass, it has stronger dispersion forces and therefore the higher boiling point.

Dipole-Dipole Forces• Exist in all polar molecules• Permanent dipoles in a molecule

that will interact with a dipole in another molecule

Example 12.4 Dipole-Dipole ForcesDetermine whether or not each molecule has dipole–dipole forces.(a) CO2 (b) CH2Cl2 (c) CH4

SOLUTION

A molecule has dipole–dipole forces if it is polar. To determine whether a molecule is polar, you must:

1. determine whether the molecule contains polar bonds, and2. determine whether the polar bonds add together to form a net dipole moment (Section 10.8).

(a) Since the electronegativities of carbon and oxygen are 2.5 and 3.5, respectively (Figure 10.2), CO2 has polar bonds. The geometry of CO2 is linear. Consequently, the polar bonds cancel; the molecule is not polar and does not have dipole–dipole forces.(b) The electronegativities of C, H, and Cl are 2.5, 2.1, and 3.5, respectively. Consequently,CH2Cl2 has two polar bonds (CCl) and two bonds that are nearly nonpolar (C H). The geometry of CH2Cl2 is tetrahedral. Since the bonds C Cl and the C H bonds are different, they do not cancel, but sum to a net dipole moment. Therefore the molecule is polar and has dipole–dipole forces.

Example 12.4 Dipole-Dipole ForcesContinued

(c) Since the electronegativities of C and H are 2.5 and 2.1, respectively, the of the molecule is tetrahedral, any slight polarities that the bonds might have will cancel. CH4 is therefore nonpolar and does not have dipole–dipole forces.

SKILLBUILDER 12.4 Dipole–Dipole ForcesDetermine whether or not each molecule has dipole–dipole forces.(a) CI4 (b) CH3Cl (c) HCl

Answers: (a) no dipole–dipole forces(b) yes, it has dipole–dipole forces(c) yes, it has dipole–dipole forces

Hydrogen Bonding

• Polar molecules containing hydrogen atoms directly bond to fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen exhibit hydrogen bonding.

• The H-bonding will occur the H bonded as described above and the F, O or N on a neighboring molecule.

• H-bonding is a type of dipole-dipole force but is much stronger than a normal dipole-dipole force.

H-bonding in hydrogen flouride

Example 12.5 Hydrogen Bonding

The three compounds have similar molar masses.formaldehyde 30.03 g/molfluoromethane 34.04 g/molhydrogen peroxide 34.02 g/mol

Therefore, the strengths of their dispersion forces are similar. All three compounds are also polar, so they have dipole–dipole forces. Hydrogen peroxide, however, is the only compound that also contains H bonded directly to F, O, or N. Therefore it also has hydrogen bonding and is most likely to have the highest boiling point of the three. Since the problem stated that only one of the compounds was a liquid, we can safely assume that hydrogen peroxide is the liquid. Note that although fluoromethane contains both H and F, H is not directly bonded to F, so fluoromethane does not have hydrogen bonding as an intermolecular force. Similarly, although formaldehyde contains both H and O, H is not directly bonded to O, so formaldehyde does not have hydrogen bonding either.

SOLUTION

One of these compounds is a liquid at room temperature. Which one and why?

SKILLBUILDER 12.5 Hydrogen BondingWhich has the higher boiling point, HF or HCl? Why?

Answer: HF, because it has hydrogen bonding as an intermolecular force

For More Practice Examples 12.9, 12.10; Problems 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70.

Example 12.9 Determining the Types of Intermolecular Forces in a Compound

Determine the types of intermolecular forces present in each substance(a) N2

(b) CO (c) NH3

SOLUTION

(a) N2 is nonpolar and therefore has only dispersion forces.(b) CO is polar and therefore has dipole–dipole forces (in addition to dispersion forces).(c) NH3 has hydrogen bonding (in addition to dispersion forces and dipole–dipole forces).

Example 12.10 Using Intermolecular Forces to Determine Melting and/or Boiling Points

Arrange each group of compounds in order of increasing boiling point.(a) F2, Cl2, Br2 (b) HF, HCl, HBr

SOLUTION

(a) Since these all have only dispersion forces, and since they are similar substances (all halogens), the strength of the dispersion force will increase with increasing molar mass. Therefore, the correct order is F2 < Cl2 < Br2.

(b) Since HF has hydrogen bonding, it has the highest boiling point. Between HCl and HBr, HBr (because of its higher molar mass) has a higher boiling point. Therefore the correct order is HCl < HBr < HF.
