Intermolecular Forces Chapter 4
Intermolecular Forces • Intermolecular forces - also called molecular attraction. • Are forces of attraction between stable molecules. • Example: hydrogen bonds (see section 3-3).
Two types of IM forces: • Cohesion - intermolecular force of attraction between LIKE molecules. • Adhesion - intermolecular force of attraction between DIFFERENT molecules.
Intermolecular Forces • Why do they occur? • Due to differences in charge densities or uneven distribution of electrons!
Polar vs. Non-Polar Molecules • Polar - unequal distribution of charge means a great amount of attraction between molecules. • Non-Polar - equal distribution of charge means a weak attraction between molecules.
Do Polar and Non-Polar Solutions Mix? • Polar solutions mix with other polar solutions! • Example: Milk and water. • Non-polar solutions mix with other non-polar solutions! • Example: Oil and grease. • Polar solutions will NEVER mix with non-polar solutions! • Example: Italian salad dressing.
