Intermolecular Forces (handout, 18.1.-18.5) Conceptual overview cont. —> Recognizing IMF Quantitative Considerations - Energy Scales - Functional forms -Structural Considerations - Adding the repulsive Part Read: Start Chapter 1 of Atkins HW #2 via e-mail.. Today or tomorrow AM
Three key questions for identifying IMF? 1) Are ions present? 2) Are polar molecules present? 3) Are there molecules with OH, NH, or FH bonds? Identify i) all and ii) the most significant IMF in the following liquids or mixtures? CH3OH (l), C6H6 (l), O2(aq), KBr(aq), Kr(l) D-ID* DISP D-D H-B Ion-D* DISP D-D H-B DISP* DISP D-D H-B* DISP*

A 2-minute H-Bonding Case Study: “HF Dimer”or (HF)2 R(HF) = 0.919 Å • E(H-Bond) = 3.6 kcal/mol (15.1 kJ/mol) • R(H…F) = 1.834 Å (non bond R is ~ 2.7 Å !!!) • Donor Bond lengthens: R(HF, “A”) = 0.924 Å • Charge rearrangement: - more polarity - partial e- transfer (0.05 e-) B A Data are from a quantum chemical computation… (MP4/aug-cc-pVTZ)
