Intramolecular and Intermolecular Forces

    • Intramolecular forces are forces (bonds) that hold atoms together within a molecule.
    • Intermolecular forces are forces that hold together between molecules

☆intramolecular forces (Forces within a molecule)
    •ionic bonding
    • covalent bonding
☆intermolecular forces
    •hydrogen bonding
        -occurs between molecules with a hydrogen bonded to a nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine
        -strongest intermolecular force that we study
    •dipole- dipole interactions
        -occurs between polar molecules
        -second strongest
    •london dispersion forces
        -Occurs between every single molecule
        -Weakest intermolecular forces

☆hydrogen bonding
    •occurs when a hydrogen is covalently bonded to a nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine
        -these three elements are electronegative and cause behinden to be positive
        -when hydrogen takes on semi- positive charge,It is attracted to negative charges from other molecules
☆ dipole- dipole interactions
     •occur when molecule is polar
        - interacts with the partial negative end of another polar molecule
☆London dispersion forces
     •brief temporarily attractions between molecules that just exist
     •weakly attractive forces that are caused by random movement of electrons around the cloud
