Intermolecular Bonds
-bonds between molecules3 types:1.London Dispersion Force(L.D.F.)-Results from temporary electron dipoles
-Weakest intermolecular force
-Increases as number electrons increase
-Occurs in any compound that has electrons(i.e.everything)
2.Dipole-Dipole Force-Results from a permenant dipole in molecules
-Polar molecules experience this force
-Polarity depends how much elements want electrons(electronegativity)
Electronegativity increases right and
up-The strength of a dipole-dipole bond depends on the difference in electronegativity between the 2 atoms
Example:
Substance, Boiling Point, # of electrons
N2, -196 C, 14
O2, -183 C, 16
NO, -152 C, 15
ICl, 97 C, 70
BR2, 59 C, 70
3.Hydrogen Bonds(H-Bonds)-This is a special type of dipole-dipole bond between
H and
O, F, N-Any molecule that has:
H-F, H-O, or H-NExample:
Identify the substances with H-Bonds
1.CH4
2.CH3OH-->H-bonds
3.H2S
4.CH3-NH2-->H-bonds
5.HCl
Compare the Boiling Point of:
Ethanol(C2H5OH-4
Ethane(C2H6)-2
Methanol(CH3OH)-3
Methane(CH4)-1
