Intramolecular & Intermolecular forces- chem
☆ intramolecular forces are forces (bonds) that hold atoms together in a molecule. (within)
☆intermolecular forces or forces that hold together (between)
☆ intramolecular forces (forces with 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 intermolecular force that we study
・ London dispersion forces
- occurs between every single molecule
- weakest intermolecular force that we study
☆ hydrogen bonding
・ occurs when a hydrogen is covalently bonded to a nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine
- these three elements are electronegative and cause the hydrogen 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 temporary attractions between molecules that just exist
・weakly attractive forces that are caused by random movement of electrons around the cloud
