  1. FORCES BETWEEN MOLECULES: TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT DIPOLES

  2. DIPOLES AND INTERMOLECULAR FORCES

  3. What are dipoles? A dipole is simply a molecule (or part of a molecule) with a positive end and a negative end.

  4. There are different types of dipoles • Permanent dipoles • Instantaneous dipoles • Induced dipoles

  5. Instantaneous dipoles The following shows how instantaneous dipoles occur

  6. Electron cloud evenly distributed; no dipole Cl Cl

  7. At some instant, more of the electron cloud happens to be at one end of the molecule than the other, electron density is constantly changing.

  8. At some instant, more of the electron cloud happens to be at one end of the molecule than the other; molecule has a dipole.

  9. An un-polarised Cl2 molecule finds itself next to an HCl molecule with a permanent dipole H Cl Cl Cl

  10. Electronsget attracted to the positive end of the HCL dipole, inducing a dipole in the Cl2 molecule Cl Cl H Cl

  11. How a dipole is induced in an atom of Xenon This atom is not yet polarised, but its electrons are repelled by the dipole next to it… This atom is instantly polarised

  12. … so it becomes polarised

  13. DIPOLES AND INTERMOLECULAR FORCES

  14. If a molecular substance contains dipoles, they can attract each other. All intermolecular forces arise from the attractive forces between dipoles. There are three kinds of attraction: • Permanent dipole-permanent dipole • Permanent dipole-induced dipole • Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole

  15. Summary

  16. INSTANTANEOUS DIPOLE-INDUCED DIPOLE ATTRACTIONS • Are forces of attraction which operate between all molecules and between the isolated atoms in Noble gases • Are much weaker than other types of intermolecular forces • Are the result of electrostatic attraction between temporary dipoles and induced dipoles caused by movement of electrons

  17. Note: The strength of the forces is related to the number of electrons present and hence to the size of the molecule (or isolated atom)

  18. PERMANENT DIPOLE – PERMANENT DIPOLE ATTRACTIONS • Are additional electrostatic forces of attraction between polar molecules • Are stronger than instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces for molecules of equivalent size

  19. So… If we have two substances, one polar and one non-polar, whose molecules have the same mass (and so approximately the same number of electrons), the polar substance will have a higher boiling point than the non-polar substance.
