8.1 Effects of Intermolecular Forces
Learning objective:
Understand the effects of intermolecular forces on condensation, vapourization and melting and boiling points
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
8.1 Effects of Intermolecular Forces
Intermolecular forces: forces of attraction between molecules which result in liquids and solids.
At STP, only 11 elements are gases.So, intermolecular forces are important in all elements,
except for those which are gases.

Melting and Boiling Points
Both are indicators of the strengths of intermolecular forces: Normal melting point (Tm): the temperature at which a solid
and liquid coexist at equilibrium under a pressure of 1 atm. Normal boiling point (Tb): the temperature at which a liquid
and vapour coexist at equilibrium under a pressure of 1 atm.Vapourization: l → gCondensation: g → l

8.2 Types of Intermolecular Forces
Learning objectives:
Predict the relative magnitudes of intermolecular forces and their effects on physical properties of substances
Explain the origins of each type of intermolecular force
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
8.2 Types of Intermolecular Forces
1. Dispersion Forces – attraction between the negatively charged electron cloud of one molecule and the positively charged nuclei of a neighbor molecule.
2. Dipolar forces – attraction between negatively charged end of one molecule with the positively charged end of another molecule.
3. Induced Dipoles – attraction between an ion or a permanent dipole and a molecule which has had a dipole induced in it by the ion or permanent dipole.
4. Hydrogen bonding forces –attraction between lone pair electrons on an O, N or F atom with a hydrogen atom.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
1. Dispersion Forces
Dispersion forces are found in all molecular substancesSuch forces are electrostatic in nature and arise from
attractions involving induced dipoles.Dispersion forces help explain why such things as
nonpolar compounds dissolve in water or ethanol.The magnitude of dispersion forces depends on how
easy it is to polarize the electron cloud of a molecule.A larger molecule has a larger polarizability.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
• The process of inducing a dipole is called polarization.
• The higher the molar mass, the higher the polarizability of the molecule.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Polarization
The larger the molecule, the larger the electron cloud.
The larger the electron cloud, the more polarizable the molecule.
The more polarizable, the stronger the dispersion forces.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Larger Molecules are More Polarizable
The larger the atoms or molecules, the stronger the dispersion forces, the higher the boiling point because, larger molecules have higher polarizability and therefore they have stronger dispersion forces.
The stronger forces require more energy to break resulting in a higher boiling point.
Similar arguments for melting points.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Higher Polarization Causes Higher Melting and Boiling Points
Boiling Point vs Molecular Size
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Example 8 - 1
Neon and xenon are gases at room temperature, but both become liquids if the temperature is low enough. Draw a molecular picture showing the relative sizes and polarizabilities of atoms of neon and xenon, and use the picture to determine which substance has the lower boiling point.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
2. Dipolar Forces
Occur when one polar molecule encounters another polar molecule.
The positive ends will be attracted to the negative ends.
Dipolar forces are characteristically stronger than dispersion forces.
Dipolar forces increase with an increase in the polarity of the molecule.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Acetone is a polar molecule, 2-methylpropane is not.
Therefore, acetone will experience dipolar forces, but 2-methylpropane will not.
Which of the two has a higher boiling point?
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
2-methylpropane acetone
Example 8 - 2
The line structures of butane, methyl ethyl ether and acetone follow. Explain the trend in boiling points: butane (0°C), methyl ethyl ether (8°C) and acetone (56°C).
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
3. Hydrogen Bonding Forces
1. One molecule has a hydrogen atom attached by a covalent bond to an atom of oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
2. The other molecule has an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine atom.
Remember: they are not really bonds…just attractive forces!
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Hydrogen bonding can occur with any hydrogen that is bonded to either oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine.
(N-H, O-H and H-F bonds are very polar)

Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
8.3 Liquids
Liquid Properties
1. Surface Tension2. Capillary Action3. Viscosity4. Vapour Pressure
All are functions of intermolecular forces!
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
1. Surface Tension
The resistance of a liquid to an increase in its surface area (thus the units J/m2).
The surface molecules of a liquid have a net inward force of attraction, forming a “skin”.
The toughness of the skin is called surface tension.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Capillary Action The upward movement of water inside a capillary
against the force of gravity. Due to large forces between the glass (polar) and the
water (also polar) than among water molecules.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
2. Capillary Action
Viscosity - resistance to flow Dependent on intermolecular forces (e.g. hydrocarbons vs.
water) Dependent on length of the carbon chain Dependent on temperature (e.g. viscosity breakdown in
engine oils)
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
3. Viscosity
Vapour Pressure
Vapour pressure (pvap): the pressure at which dynamic equilibrium is achieved in a closed container.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
8.4 Forces in solids
Learning objective:
Explain the properties of solids in terms of the dominant intermolecular forces present
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
8.4 Forces in solids
In liquids and gases, molecules are free to move continually and randomly.
In solids, molecules, atoms, and ions cannot move freely, but they can vibrate and occasionally rotate.
There are four major solid types: (1) molecular solids, (2) network solids, (3) metallic solids, and (4) ionic solids.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Forces in Solids
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
1. Molecular Solids
Aggregates of molecules bound together by intermolecular forces.
Molecules of the molecular solids retain their individual properties.
Gases under normal conditions, but form solids at low temperatures.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Crystals of benzoic acid contain pairs of molecules
held together head tohead by hydrogen bonds. These pairs then stack in
planes which are heldtogether by dispersion forces.
The effect of extensive H-bonding is revealed by the high
melting point of glucose (155°C).
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
2. Network Solids
Unlike molecular solids, network solids have high melting points.
They are held together by covalent bonds which are much harder to break than intermolecular forces.
Bonding patterns determine the properties of the solid.
Usually durable compounds (Rock of Gibraltar, rubies, sapphires, etc…)
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Network Solids of Carbon
Diamond – three dimensional array of bonds with each tetrahedral (sp3) carbon linked to others through covalent bonds, this array makes diamonds very strong and abrasive.
Graphite – has trigonal planar (sp2) carbons in a 2D array of bonds, each 2D layer is attracted to its neighbours by dispersion forces.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Network Solids of Carbon
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
Example 8 - 4
Whereas SiO2 melts at 1710°C, other nonmetal oxides melt at much lower temperatures. For example, P4O6 melts at 25°C. Referring to the accompanying bonding pictures, describe the forces that hold these solids together.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
3. Metallic Solids
Bonding of electrons is delocalized.Therefore, the strength of the bonding is variable.Metals are ductile (able to be drawn into wires) and
malleable (able to be hammered into sheets)Metals have a range of melting points
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
When a metal changes shape, its atoms shift position. However, because the valence electrons are fully delocalized, the energy of these electrons is unaffected.
Chemistry, 2nd Canadian Edition ©2013 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.
4. Ionic Solids
Contain cations and anions strongly attracted to each other through interionic forces – in between ions.
Many ionic solids contain metal cations and polyatomic ions
Superconductors: ionic solids composed of oxides of rare earth metals: YBa2Cu3O7-x They carry immense electrical current without
losses due to resistance.
