But before we get started . . .

Do you remember when you read about “resonance structures” and learned they didn’t really resonate?

Well, galloping gertie did.

This attraction is an example of an “intermolecular force.”

It is a specific kind of attraction called a “hydrogen bond”.

INTERMOLECULAR FORCES

EXAMPLE: HYDROGEN BONDING

Attraction between water molecules causes

“surface tension”

Hydrogen bonding between water molecules causes

“surface tension”

Gravity round planets/moons/stars

Surface tension round water droplets

Surface tension Insect’s foot can’t get in between

water molecules Insect walks on water

See how her foot makes a dimple in the surface?

Springs help provide tension. They pull the skin of the trampoline tight.

Q: Why is the bond between H & O polar, whereas the bond between H & C is nonpolar?

A: H & C have electronegativities that are almost the same (2.1 & 2.5), whereas H & O have very different electronegativities (2.1 & 3.5).

Q: Why does Italian salad dressing separate into two layers?

A: It contains polar materials and nonpolar materials.

Q: Why is the oily layer on the top rather than on the bottom?

A: Oil is less dense than water.

Water is polar, so when you need to wash, you often need to add soap to the water to dissolve the nonpolar substances like fat, grease, and oil.

Soap acts as a “bridge” between water and nonpolar materials.

Soap sticks to both water AND oily materials, so the oil and water don’t have to separate
