INTERMOLECULAR

FORCES OF
ATTRACTION
Intermolecular Force:
• This force holds the molecules
together which can be
attractive or repulsive.

5
 Types of
Intermolecular
Forces:
Ion-dipole Interaction
-the intermolecular force of attraction between
a charge ion (cation or anion) and a molecule.
LONDON DISPERSION FORCES
-is the weakest intermolecular force. The
London dispersion force is a temporary
attractive force that results when the electrons
in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that
make the atoms form temporary dipoles. This
force is sometimes called an induced dipole-
induced dipole attraction.
Dipole-Dipole Forces
- attractive forces between the positive end of one polar
molecule and the negative end of another polar
molecule.
SURFACE TENSION
Hydrogen bonding
-is a special type of dipole-dipole attraction between
molecules, not a covalent bond to a hydrogen atom.
It results from the attractive force between a
hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very
electronegative atom such as a N, O, or F atom and
another very electronegative atom.
Boiling Point- is the temperature at which the
vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the
external pressure.
Melting Point- is the temperature at which
a substance begins to change from solid to
liquid.
Viscosity- is the property of substance resistance to flow, In
general, stronger IMF means high viscosity.
Vapor pressure- is a measure of the tendency of a material
to change into the gaseous or vapor state.
