3 TYPES OF INTERMOLECULAR FORCE


There are several types of intermolecular forces, they are ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, hydrogen
bonding, dipole-induced dipole, and dispersion forces. Ion-Dipole Forces involves the interaction
between the full charge of an ion and the partial charge of a polar compound. The partial charge on
the polar compound is smaller than a full positive or negative charge on ions, so the interaction will
not be as strong. Dipole-Dipole Forces These are the interactions that exist between neutral, but
polar substances. They involve the attraction of partial positive and partial negative charges present
in polar compounds. In fact, for molecular compounds of approximately the same size and molar
mass, the greater the dipole moment, the greater the dipole-dipole forces between the molecules are.
Hydrogen Bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole force arises between molecules that have an H
atom bonded to N, O, and F. The bond are very polar, so electron density is withdraw from H atom.
Dipole-Induced Dipole is arise between a change and the dipole it induces in another molecule.
Dispersion Forces is the intermolecular force primarily responsible for the condensed states of
nonpolar substance. This force are caused by momentary oscillations of electron change in atoms and,
therefore, are present between all particles.
