Intermolecular Forces or IMF • Attractive forces between molecules. • Much weaker than chemical bonds within molecules. • a.k.a. van der Waals forces
Intermolecular Forces • If there are no attractive forces between molecules, the substance will exist as a gas because an attractive force is required to hold molecules together as liquids and solids.
Types of Intermolecular Forces • London Force (Dispersion forces) • forms when any atom or molecule becomes a dipole at an instant when its electrons are unequally distributed around the nucleus or nuclei. • more electrons, stronger London force

Types of Intermolecular Forces 3. Hydrogen bond • forms when a hydrogen atom bonded to a small strongly electronegative atom such as F, O, and N is attracted to another electron-rich atom • the hydrogen is left very electron deficient • the strongest of the intermolecular forces.
