Presentation Transcript

  1. Intermolecular Forces • weak forces of attraction between individual molecules • What holds molecules to each other

  2. London Dispersion ForcesLDFs • Seen in all substances, polar and nonpolar • Weakest intermolecular force • Depend on molecular mass • More mass means stronger dispersion forces • Bigger molecules have more electrons, stronger dispersion forces

  3. Dipole interactions(a.k.a. dipole-dipole) • Seen in polar substances • Occur when polar molecules are attracted to each other • Slightlystronger than LDFs

  4. Hydrogen bonding • A special type of dipole interaction • Only seen between H and N, O, or F • Strongest of the IMFs because F, O, and N are very electronegative

  5. H O O H H O H H H H O H H H H O O O H H H Hydrogen bonding
