Chemistry Intermolecular Forces

Draw two Lewis structures of the molecule. Between these structures, identify and label

areas of the specific type of intermolecular forces present.

O Briefly describe these IM forces (each type, its’ relative strength)

CHEMISTRY INTERMOLECULAR FORCES 3

The IM forces which occur in Anthracene molecules affect their physical properties that

include the melting and boiling points. These factors, called phase, determine the strength

between particles from the kinetic theory of matter. Those substances with weak van der Waals

forces exist in the gaseous state. The reason behind these phenomena is because the atoms are far

much apart to be together firmly. Furthermore, the temperature has a substantial effect on them

due to their inability to overcome the strain between them hence causing a phase change. The

force field on the element is the coulomb, London, and Paul. The IM affects the melting (MP)

and boiling points (BP) of a component. Those with weak ones have low MP and BP. This

lowness is because small energy is required to overcome these enforcements. On the contrary,

strong ones will have high melting and a boiling point since a lot of heat is needed to overcome

the power between them. Raising the temperatures in an anthracene element provides enough

energy to overcome the hydrogen bonds.

O Describe the effect IM forces on the molecules:

▪ Standard state

The temperature has a substantial impact on them due to their inability to overcome the

strain between them hence causing a phase change. The force field on the element is the

coulomb, London, and Paul. The IM is known to affect the melting (MP) and boiling points

(BOP) components. Intermolecular forces which occur in Anthracene molecules affect their

physical properties that include the melting and boiling points. Those with weak ones have low

MP and BP. This high and low is due to fact that small energy is required to overcome these

enforcements. On the contrary, strong ones will have high melting and boiling points since a lot

of heat are needed to overcome the power between them.

▪ Vapor pressure (discuss this qualitatively: low or high and why)

According to Chen & Wu (2), they made this phenomenon feasibility possible till

Schrodinger and Heisenberg proposed a current one. It shows that vapor pressure of anthracene

molecule increase with low temperature. On the other hand, at high temperatures, the atoms are

loose; hence the pressure is low. When it concerns hydrogen bonds (HB) use, only fewer

elements of force get involved, according to (Chen & Wu, 3). This fact means that the presence

of atmospheric pressure later results in a Lewis structure.

▪ Melting point and boiling point (again, high or low and why)

The force field on the element is the coulomb, London, and paul. The IM affects the

melting (MP) and boiling points (BP) of a component. Those with weak ones have low MP and

BP. This lowness is because little energy is required to overcome this enforcement. According to

Rizzato, Gavezzotti & Lo Presti (2020), molecular changes are in line on atom to atom force

fields. On the contrary, strong ones will have high melting and boiling points since a lot of heat

are needed to overcome the power between them. This factor makes them lose faster because the

atoms are far much apart to be together firmly.
