Discussion of Activity
There are some forces that exist in a collection of molecules. In the gaseous state, these forces are
negligible. The gaseous molecules do not interact with each other. In liquids and solids, the molecules
interact and have a great influence on one another. The forces of interaction between molecules are
referred to as intermolecular forces / attraction or van der Waals forces.
John van der Waals ( 1837 – 1923), a Dutch physicist, while working on the theory of ideal gas,
recognized the existence of some type of weak force on particles that are very close to each other. These
weak intermolecular forces or van der Waals forces are classified as follows:
1. Dipole – dipole interaction- forces that act between polar molecules. In the solid or liquid state,

the molecules align align themselves where the positive end of one dipole is directed toward the negative

end of the neighboring dipole as shown in the figure below:

+ - + - + -
The presence of dipole-dipole interaction explains the higher boiling point of polar molecules than
a non-polar molecule of the same molecular weight. The polar character of water explains why other polar
substances are readily soluble in water.
Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction which occurs only between
molecules that contain hydrogen bonded to small, highly electronegative atoms like F,N and O. Examples:
HF, CH4, NH3

Each water molecule accepts two hydrogen

bonds from two other water molecules and
donates two hydrogen atoms to form
hydrogen bonds with two more water
molecules, producing an open, cagelike
structure. The structure of liquid water is
very similar, but in the liquid, the hydrogen
bonds are continually broken and formed
because of rapid molecular motion.

Figure 2 The Hydrogen-Bonded Structure of Ice.

Instantaneous –induced dipole or London Dispersion forces – which are attractive forces between
gases like O2 and N2 which can be liquefied under correct conditions of pressure and temperature. This
means that there are attractive forces between the molecules of non-polar molecules. Dispersion forces
act not only between non-polar molecules but also between all molecules.

 Figure 3: Instantaneous
Dipole Moments. The
formation of an
instantaneous dipole
moment on one He atom
(a) or an H2 molecule (b)
results in the formation of
an induced dipole on an
adjacent atom or molecule.

Figure 4.Mass and Surface Area Affect the Strength of London Dispersion Forces. (a) In this series
of four simple alkanes, larger molecules have stronger London forces between them than smaller
molecules and consequently higher boiling points. (b) Linear n-pentane molecules have a larger surface
area and stronger intermolecular forces than spherical neopentane molecules. As a result, neopentane is a
gas at room temperature, whereas n-pentane is a volatile liquid.
Ion-dipole interaction or the force of attraction between ion and polar molecules like NaCl in water
to form an aqueous solution. The magnitude of the ion-dipole interaction depends on the charge and size
of the ions, the dipole moment and size of the polar molecule.

 Activity Card
Activity Card 1

Polar covalent compounds—like hydrogen chloride, {HCl}HCl H, C, l, and hydrogen iodide,(HI),

H, I—have dipole-dipole interactions between partially charged ions and London dispersion forces
between molecules. Nonpolar covalent compounds—like methane{CH}_{4}CH4C, H,and nitrogen
gas, {N}_{2}N2N—only have London dispersion forces between molecules. The rule of thumb is that the
stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction, the more energy is required to break those forces. This
translates into ionic and polar covalent compounds having higher boiling and melting points, higher
enthalpy of fusion or solubility, and higher vaporization than covalent compounds. Hydrogen bond
specifically influences boiling point while freezing point is affected by London Dispersion Forces.
Boiling and melting points of compounds depend on the type and strength of the intermolecular
forces present. Being a solid, liquid or gas is also due to the strength of forces in molecules. Solids are
held by the strongest force, followed by liquid which are loose molecules due to a relatively weak force,
and the weakest force are gases that they wander around if not held close in container.

5. Why do some substances exist as

Activity Card 2
Directions: Read the text carefully and proceed to the activity below.

1. Melting and Boiling Points

· If molecules stick together more, they'll be tougher to break apart

Stronger intermolecular forces → higher melting and boiling points

2. Viscosity

· Viscosity is a measure of how well substances flow.

Stronger intermolecular forces → higher viscosity.

3. Surface Tension

· Surface tension is a measure of the toughness of the surface of a liquid

Stronger intermolecular forces → higher surface tension.

4. Vapour Pressure

· This is a small amount of gas that is found above all liquids. Refer to
our lesson about vapour pressure to learn about it.

Stronger intermolecular forces → Lower vapour pressure.

17
 Do this : Match the following properties of liquids to what they indicated
about relative strength of the intermolecular forces in that liquid.
high vapor pressure, high surface tension, high boiling point,
high viscosity

Activity Card 3
The unique properties of liquids because of Intermolecular Forces of
Attraction
They say water is peculiar - different from
the rest of liquids that we know. Why? Because it
possesses these properties in a very odd and amazing
ways. Well, of course, due to IMFA, it does exhibit
properties such as viscosity, capillarity, vapor pressure
and surface tension. Let’s take a tour inside volumes of
water to know it deeper.

Surface tension of a liquid is a measure of the elastic force in

the liquid’s surface Fig 3. Liquids that have strong intermolecular forces,
like the hydrogen bonding in water, exhibit the greatest surface tension.
Surface tension allows objects that are denser than water, such as the water

viscosity the beading up of water droplets on a freshly waxed car because there are
no attractions between the polar water molecules and the nonpolar wax.

18
Capillary Rise Fig.4 Fig.5
Intermolecular forces also cause a phenomenon called capillary
action, which is the tendency of a polar liquid to rise against gravity into
a small-diameter tube (a capillary), as shown in Fig.5 When a glass
capillary is is placed in liquid water, water rises up into the capillary due
to cohesion, or the attraction of same molecules. The height to which the
water rises depends on the diameter of the tube and the temperature of the
water but not on the angle at which the tube enters the water. The smaller
the diameter, the higher the liquid rises.
