1 Good day, fellow Scientist!

As we all know, this pandemic has caused a lot

of hassle in people’s lives.
Therefore,
we must think of new invention
that will help them. 2 You’re right!
Let’s recall the intermolecular forces that
will, definitely,
help us in thinking of a new invention
1

An intermolecular force is the force that

mediates interaction between molecules.
 1
Additionally, examples of Intermolecular forces
include London dispersion force, Dipole-dipole
interactions, and Hydrogen bonding, but how
are they different from each other?

1 I know that London dispersion forces are
found in any molecule or ion, and are more
significant in nonpolar molecules, given that
nonpolar molecules only contain LDF.
However, why are these forces considered
the weakest?
2
As you said earlier, London dispersion
forces are found in everything. A
random shift in electrons creates a
temporary dipole,
which can also create dipoles in other
molecules. Being temporary, it is
extremely weak and makes LDF the
weakest force.

1 range from 5 kJ to 20 kJ per mole.
Dipole-dipole forces are attractive
forces that exist between the positive
and negative ends of polar molecules.

From what I’ve studied last month,
the strengths of dipole-dipole forces
They are much weaker than ionic or
covalent bonds and have a significant
effect only when the molecules
involved are close together

Hydrogen bonding, interaction involving a
hydrogen atom located between a pair of other 3 and I'll just add, for example, in
atoms having a high affinity for electrons such a water molecules (H2O), hydrogen is
bond is weaker than an ionic bond or covalent covalently bonded to the more
bond but stronger than van der Waals forces. electronegative oxygen atom.

Hydrogen bonds can exist between Therefore, hydrogen bonding arises in
atoms in different molecules or in water molecules due to the dipole-dipole
parts of the same molecule. interactions between the hydrogen atom
of one water molecule and the oxygen
atom of another H2O molecule.
 2 The conditions for hydrogen bonding are…First,
The molecule must contain a highly electronegative
atom linked to the hydrogen atom. The higher the
electronegativity more is the polarization of the

I have a question, What are the

Bonding? electronegative atom should be small.
The smaller the size, the greater is the
electrostatic attraction.

Wow! I knew a little recap would
refresh my mind. This is great,
now, we can start brainstorming
about what to create.
