Intermolecular forces
Intermolecular forces arise between molecules. They can be thought of as holding individual molecules together. These weak forces must be overcome for substances to boil.
![Page 3: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
There are three types of intermolecular forces
1) Van der Waals forces2) Permanent dipole-dipole forces
3) Hydrogen bonds
![Page 4: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
If there were no attractions between molecules it would be impossible to turn a gas into a liquid by cooling.
But why are there attractions between uncharged non-polar molecules?
![Page 5: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Van der Waals forces
These are weak forces that arise from the fluctuating movement of electrons. This movement causes temporary dipoles, which, in turn, induce attraction between molecules (or atoms). These attractions are called Van der Waals forces.
![Page 6: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Temporary dipoles occur in one molecule owing to an unequal distribution of the electron cloud around it.
This temporary dipole induces a dipole in another molecule and the two attract each other.
London forces are also known as induced dipole-dipole forces or Van der Waals forces.

Van der Waals
These weak intermolecular forces explain how a gecko (and a spider) can climb a wall!
![Page 8: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The strength of Van der Waals forces increases:
The larger the molecule (due to a larger electron cloud)
The larger the surface area of the molecule (due to a larger electron cloud exposed).
![Page 9: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Van der Waals forces affect:
The boiling point
The melting point
Viscosity
The more Van der Waals forces exist between molecules, the more ‘sticky’ they become as they attract each other more strongly.
Energy is required to overcome these forces of attraction.

Permanent dipole-dipole forces
These forces occur between molecules with a permanent dipole. This happens when the electronegativities of the elements are very different, resulting in a polar bond.
![Page 14: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The δ+ atom of one molecule attracts the δ- atom of another molecule
This results in a weak electrostatic force of attraction.
Remember, no overall dipoles are seen in symmetrical molecules, due to the equal pull on the bonding electrons.

Using what you know about inter-molecular
forces explain the following graph

Why is the boiling point of water 100ᵒC, when the boiling point of Hydrogen Sulphide is -60ᵒC and that of Hydrogen Selenide is -40ᵒC
![Page 19: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hydrogen bonds
These are very strong intermolecular interactions. They are a special case of a permanent
dipole-dipole interaction.
They are stronger than Van der Waals forces and permanent
dipole-dipole interactions (but still 10X weaker than covalent bonds)
![Page 20: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hydrogen bonds
Hydrogen bonds ONLY form when Hydrogen is covalently bonded to
one of three very small electronegative atoms.....
Oxygen, Nitrogen and Fluorine
A lone pair is also required.
![Page 21: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Nitrogen, Oxygen and Fluorine are very electronegative and cause the bond with
hydrogen to be polar.
The bond is so polarised that the hydrogen forms a weak bond with the nitrogen, fluorine
or oxygen of another molecule.
In addition, N, O and F are all small enough to approach a hydrogen atom – their lone pair
on the N, O or F forms a bond with the hydrogen.
![Page 22: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
δ+
δ-
Because Oxygen is so electronegative, Hydrogen is effectively a proton – it has no outer shell.
This means it can interact strongly with a lone pair from another oxygen to produce.............

![Page 24: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The three atoms associated with a
hydrogen bond are ALWAYS in a straight line.

The structure of ice
Molecules in ice are held together by hydrogen bonding. The molecules form a giant lattice in which each is bonded to two H atoms by covalent bonds, and two others by hydrogen bonds.
![Page 26: How can a gecko cling to any surface and yet still be able to move?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020208/56813e7c550346895da8a8c8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The structure of ice
In liquid water hydrogen bonds break and reform easily as the molecules move about.
When water freezes the hydrogen bonds hold the water molecules in fixed positions.
In order to fit into this structure the molecules are less tightly packed than in liquid water. This means that ice is less dense than water and floats on water.
**This is thought to have helped life to continue during the ice ages – ice would form an insulating layer on bodies of water**
