Intermolecular Forces
Gecko’s Hairy Feet
• Nanostructures on the
soles of gecko feet.
Thanks to about one
billion hierarchically
organized nanohairs, the
gecko can go for a walk
on walls and ceilings,
unlike people.

Intermolecular Forces
Intermolecular forces are attractive forces between molecules.
Intermolecular vs Intramolecular
• 41 kJ to vaporize 1 mole of water (inter)
• 930 kJ to break all O-H bonds in 1 mole of water (intra)
4
Intermolecular Forces
• Forces holding one
molecule to another in
a substance.

Relative Magnitudes of Forces
The types of bonding forces vary in their strength
as measured by average bond energy.

Hydrogen Bonds
hydrogen bond: a special dipole-dipole interaction
between they hydrogen atom in a polar N-H, O-H, or
F-H bond and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.

What type(s) of intermolecular forces exist
between each of the following molecules?
HBr
HBr is a polar molecule: dipole-dipole forces. There are also
dispersion forces between HBr molecules.
CH4
CH4 is nonpolar: dispersion forces.
