REMEMBER!
Take note that intramolecular and intermolecular forces are very different from each
other. Intramolecular forces attraction are forces within molecules or the forces
holding a molecule together. Molecules are composed of different atoms and these
atoms are combined together by intramolecular forces such as covalent bond and
iconic bond. In this lesson, we will focus on the INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
ATTRACTION between molecules.

an instantaneous dipole.
TIP
Dipole-dipole forces
Occurs between polar molecules. This is due to the partial positive pole and
the partial negative pole of the molecule. Average dipole-dipole interaction is
relatively weak, around 4kJ/ mol. This interaction is effective over a very short range.

TIP

elements, in particular F, O, N. Hydrogen tends to be strongly positive due to the
strong tendencies of F, O, or N to attract the electron towards it. The highly
electronegative elements make hydrogen strongly positive.

1. NH3——NH3
2. H2——H2
3. CO2——CO2

temperature. When molecules have weak intermolecular forces of attraction, they
are far apart from each other. They often exist as gas at room temperature.
Solubility
EXAMPLE
Water and ethanol are polar substances. They both exhibit LDF, dipole -
dipole forces, and hydrogen bonding. When mixed together, they form a solution.
On the other hand, hexane and water do not have similar intermolecular
forces of attraction. The only attractive forces present in hexane are the relatively
weak London dispersion forces. These forces cannot significantly disrupt the strong
hydrogen bonding among water molecules. Therefore, hexane and water form a
heterogeneous mixture.
Melting point
Melting point is the temperature at which the substance changes from solid to
liquid. Stronger intermolecular forces mean greater amount of energy is needed to

break the attractive forces between molecules. Substances with stronger IMFA have
higher melting points compared to those with weaker IMFA.
Boiling point
Boiling point is the temperature at which the substance changes from liquid to
gas. Similar to melting point, stronger intermolecular forces means greater amount of
energy is needed to break the attractive forces between molecules. Substances with
stronger IMFA have higher boiling points compared to those with weaker IMFA.
Surface Tension
Surface Tension is the tendency of a fluid to acquire the least possible surface
area. Molecules with stronger intermolecular forces will exert greater cohesive forces
and acquire less surface area (higher surface tension) than those with weaker IMFA.
Viscosity
Viscosity is the measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Molecules
with stronger intermolecular forces have greater resistance to flow, and thus, higher
viscosity compared to those with weaker IMFA.
Vapor Pressure
Vapor Pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid
phase in a closed system. Molecules with stronger intermolecular forces have less
tendency to escape as gas, and thus lower vapor pressure compared to those with
weaker IMFA.

EXAMPLES
Example 1
Which has higher boiling point, H2O or H2S?
Answer:
H2O exhibits hydrogen bonding. It has stronger intermolecular forces.
Therefore, it has higher boiling point than H2S.
Example 2
Which is most likely solid, F2 or I2?
Answer:
Both fluorine and iodine are nonpolar molecules. They exhibit London
dispersion forces only. Because iodine has higher molecular mass, it has stronger
London dispersion forces. It is most likely to be solid. (Indeed, I2 is solid while F2 is
gas at room temperature.

1. The red and blue colors represents two different charges at both ends making it
polar molecules. The red represents a positive end while the blue ones represent a
negative end.
2. When the same colors like blue and blue / red and red interacts with each other
there are gray lines that represents repulsion. Following the rule that like repels like
in magnetism just the same with these molecular ends they tend to repel each other.
3. When different colors interact with each other (blue and red) there is a presence of
green arrow and these represents attraction. In short, the different colored ends tend
to attract each other.
4. There are two types of molecules the polar and the nonpolar. Polar molecules
have these positive and negative ends and most likely to experience this type of
event while the nonpolar molecules have instantaneous dipoles meaning it is not
permanent. It can happen but very weak and for a short period of time only.

APPLY WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED 2
1. The intermolecular attraction between HBr molecules is Dipole-Dipole Interaction
while between HF molecules is Hydrogen Bond, therefore, HF has higher boiling
point than HBr because Hydrogen Bond is stronger than ordinary Dipole-Dipole
Interaction.
2. Both CH4 and CH3Cl molecules are bonded by Dispersion Forces but because
CH4 has lower molecular mass so most likely it is gas at room temperature.
