Forces Between Particles


★ Static Electricity is caused by electric charges attracting or repelling each other

★ Repulsions and attractions are also known as electric forces, and these forces affect the properties of the substance

★ Ionic compounds have strong attractive forces that hold its ions together, which causes it to have a high melting and boiling points.


Uneven Molecular Charges

★ Polarity is a property of a system in which two points have opposite characteristics, such as charges or magnetic poles ( Polar and Non-Polar).

★ If the molecule is made up of 2 atoms, central atom has NO lone pairs of electrons, and all surrounding are the same then the molecule is Non- Polar.

★ If the molecule is made up of 2 atoms, EN difference ranges between 0.3 - 1.7, and violates all of the Non- polar rules then it is Polar .


Intramolecular Bonds

★ Connects atoms in a molecule (Ionic and Covalent)

★ Stronger that intermolecular forces


Intermolecular Bonds

★ Between 2 molecules

★ Attractive force between neighboring molecules

★ Types: Permanent dipole - dipole/ Hydrogen Bond/ Van de waals’

★ Weaker that covalent bonds


1. PERMENANT DIPOLE - DIPOLE

★ Polar + Polar NH2 + NH2

★ Occurs due to different electronegativity

★ Both are Dipoles that attract each other and from a permanent Dipole - Dipole bond.


2. HYDROGEN BONDS

★ Subtype of Permanent Dipole - Dipole

★ Bond between 𝝳 + H and either Nitrogen, Oxygen or Florine

★ Strongest intermolecular force

★ Strongest due to the strong attraction between 𝝳 + Hydrogen and lone pairs of electrons 𝝳- (Nitrogen, Oxygen or Fluorine).

★ Ex:- H20 + O2


3. VAN DER WALLS

★ Includes Dipole Induced Dipole force and London Dispersion.

★ Dipole Induced Dipole: A dipole makes a non- dipole momentarily a dipole EX: H2O + O2

★ Londen Dispersion: Non- Polar + Non- Polar EX: O2 + O2


Surface Tension

★ If the surface tension is high it doesn't spread

★ The attraction between molecules of the same substance is know as cohesion.

★ From strong to weak cohesion: Mercury, Water, Dimethyl sulfoxide and Acetone

★ The stronger the intramolecular the higher the boiling point and cohesion

★ When water freezes its density lessens Ice ⬆︎ density and Water ⬇︎ density

★ Density lessens because they lose kinetic energy and more bonds form.
