Asynchronous Activity (24 POINTS)

Complete the following table.

INTERMOLECULAR
FORCES OF DESCRIPTION 2 EXAMPLES
ATTRACTION
 An attractive force
between ions with 1. Magnesium ion
ION-ION opposite charges. 2. Chloride ion
 The strongest form of
intermolecular force.
 Occurs between a
fully charged ion and 1. Sodium Ion
a partially charged 2. Water molecule
dipole.
ION-DIPOLE
 The strength of the
ion-dipole force is
proportionate to ion
charge.
 Forms a special type
of dipole-dipole 1. Chloroform
attraction when a 2. Ammonia
hydrogen atom
bonded to a strongly
H-BONDING electronegative atom
exists in the vicinity of
another
electronegative atom
with a lone pair of
electrons.
 Molecules with
permanent dipoles
attract each other 1. Hydrogen chloride
electrostatically. 2. Sodium chloride
 The positive end of
DIPOLE-DIPOLE one molecule attracts
the negative end of
another molecule,
and so on, leading to
an alignment of the
molecules.
 Are electrostatic
interactions between 1. Hydrochloric acid
the permanent dipoles 2. Helium
DIPOLE-INDUCED DIPOLE
of different molecules.
 Occur when partial
charge form within a
molecule because of
the uneven distribution
of electrons.

 A weak attraction that


results when a polar 1. Between two methyl
molecule induces a 2. Between two chlorine
dipole in an atom or molecules
INDUCED DIPOLE-INDUCED in a nonpolar
DIPOLE molecule by
disturbing the
arrangement of
electrons in the
nonpolar species.
