The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the


properties of solids and liquids in terms of
intermolecular forces of attraction and the
kinetic energy of the individual particles.
Describe and differentiate the types of
intermolecular forces (S11/12PS-IIIa-1)
o Differentiate intramolecular forces and intermolecular
forces of attraction.
o Describe and differentiate the types of intermolecular
forces.
o Determine the intermolecular forces of attraction that
holds the molecules together.
Why do molecules in a liquid or solid
stick around each other?
What are the two kinds of forces, or
attractions, that operate in a molecule?

Intramolecular Forces
Intermolecular Forces
Intramolecular Forces
• Intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together
within a molecule.
Intermolecular Forces
• Intermolecular forces are forces that exist between molecules.
Intramolecular Force

Intermolecular Force
Let us take a look at the structure of
hydrogen chloride.
Types of Intramolecular Forces
1. Ionic bond: This bond is formed by the complete transfer of
valence electron(s) between atoms.

In ionic bonds, the those electrons to

charged cation.
Types of Intramolecular Forces
2. Covalent bond: This bond is formed between atoms that
have similar electronegativities—the affinity or desire for
electrons. Because both atoms have similar affinity for
electrons and neither has a tendency to donate them, they
share electrons in order to achieve octet configuration and
become more stable.

Nonpolar covalent bond Polar covalent bond


• A nonpolar covalent bond is formed between
same atoms or atoms with very similar
electronegativities.
• A polar covalent bond is formed when atoms of
slightly different electronegativities share electrons.

London Dispersion Forces
• These are the weakest of the intermolecular forces and
exist between all types of molecules, whether ionic or
covalent—polar or nonpolar.

The more electrons a molecule has, the stronger


the London dispersion forces are.
London Dispersion Forces
• For example, bromine, Br2, has more electrons than
chlorine, Cl2, so bromine will have stronger London
dispersion forces than chlorine, resulting in a higher boiling
point for bromine, compared to chlorine.
LDF only
• Monoatomic noble gases
• He, Ne, Ar, …..
• Diatomic molecules
• H2, Cl2, Br2, ….
• Pure hydrocarbons (with C and H only)
• Methane, Ethane, Propane, …
• Symmetrical molecules
• CO2, CCl4, …
Dipole-dipole Forces
• These are attractive forces between the positive end of
one polar molecule and the negative end of another
polar molecule.
Dipole-dipole Forces
• dipole-dipole is for all polar molecules except H-F, H-O or
H-N. (they have a stronger force)
The more polar the substance, the stronger its dipole-
dipole interactions. The higher the dipole moment, the
stronger the intermolecular forces that must be
overcome for a substance to boil, and the higher the
boiling point.
Dipoles form when there is a large difference in electronegativity
between two atoms joined by a covalent bond.
Hydrogen Bonding
• This is a special kind of dipole-dipole interaction that
occurs specifically between a hydrogen atom bonded to
either an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine atom.

Hydrogen Bonding

The partially positive end of


hydrogen is attracted to
the partially negative end
of the oxygen, nitrogen, or
fluorine of another
molecule.
Ion-Dipole Forces
• attractive force that results from the electrostatic attraction
between an ion and a neutral molecule that has a dipole.
Ion-Dipole Forces
• Ion-dipole forces are particularly important in solutions of ionic
substances such as NaCl in polar liquids such as water.

Most commonly found in solutions.

A positive ion (cation) attracts the


partially negative end of a neutral
polar molecule.
