Transcript Intermolecular Forces - Montgomery County Schools

Intermolecular Forces
Intra- vs. Inter
Intra-: inward
– Ex. Intradermal, Intravenous

Inter-: between or among
– Ex. Interstate, International

Intramolecular forces act within a
molecule.
– Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding

Intermolecular forces act between
molecules.
– London dispersion, dipole-dipole interactions,
ion-dipole interactions, and Hydrogen bonding
Intramolecular vs. Intermolecular
Forces - Similarities
 Attractive
forces
 Force due to electron sharing
(charge)
 Affect spatial arrangements of atoms
and molecules, respectively
Intramolecular vs. Intermolecular

Each pair of students should write their names on the top of 1
sheet of paper.
One student should obtain a 250 mL beaker and fill halfway
with water.
A second student should add about 1 cm of oil to top (between
¼ and ½ inch or about the width of pinky finger).
On your piece of paper, draw and describe the beaker and label
it as “Drawing 1”.
When Drawing 1 is complete, raise your hand for addition of 1
drop of food coloring.
Draw the beaker and its contents immediately after the addition
of food coloring. Label this “Drawing 2”.
Wait 1-2 minutes and draw the beaker again. This is “Drawing
3”.
When Drawings 2 and 3 are complete, raise your hand for
addition of sugar.
Draw and describe what happens right after the sugar is added
as “Drawing 4”.
Draw and describe what happens about one minute after the
sugar is added as “Drawing 5”.

What materials will mix together?
What happened to food coloring in oil? How
would you describe the color, shape, size, and
movement of the food coloring?
What happened to food coloring in water? How
would you describe the color, shape, size, and
movement of the food coloring?
What do you think the phrase “like dissolves
like” means?
How would you apply “like dissolves like” to the
materials used in the beaker?

Weakest
intermolecular force
Only attractive force
between non-polar
molecules
Created from
temporary fluctuations
in electron density
around atoms
The larger the
molecule, the greater
the dispersion force.

Dipole
In polar molecules electrons are not
equally shared between atoms.
 In areas of the electron cloud where
electrons are more likely to be found, a
“dipole” is formed. This end of the
molecular has a partial negative charge.
The opposing side of the molecule will
have a partial positive charge.
 These molecules are “polar”.

Dipole-Dipole Forces
Attractive force
between neutral,
polar molecules
(molecules that
possess a dipole).
 The larger the
dipole, the greater
the force.

Ion-Dipole Forces


Interaction between
charged molecule
(ion) and polar
molecule (dipole).
Strength depends on
charge and size of ion
and magnitude and
size of dipole
– Cations interact more
strongly with dipoles
than anions.

Why does salt dissolve?

How would heating affect solubility? Stirring?

“Like dissolves like”

To be soluble a compound must
interact with the solute by:
– Dipole-dipole forces
– Ion-dipole forces
– London dispersion forces
Polar solutes dissolve in polar
solutions
 Non-polar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solutions
