IMF
• Intermolecular forces determine bulk properties,
such as the melting points of solids and the boiling
points of liquids. Liquids boil when the molecules
have enough thermal energy to overcome the
intermolecular attractive forces that hold them
together, thereby forming bubbles of vapor within
the liquid. Similarly, solids melt when the
molecules acquire enough thermal energy to
overcome the intermolecular forces that lock them
into place in the solid.
IMF
Intermolecular forces are electrostatic in nature; that
is, they arise from the interaction between positively
and negatively charged species. Like covalent and
ionic bonds, intermolecular interactions are the sum
of both attractive and repulsive components.
Because electrostatic interactions fall off rapidly with
increasing distance between molecules,
intermolecular interactions are most important for
solids and liquids, where the molecules are close
together. These interactions become important for
gases only at very high pressures, where they are
responsible for the observed deviations from the
ideal gas law at high pressures.
London Dispersion Forces
Interactions between ions, dipoles, and induced dipoles
account for many properties of molecules - deviations
from ideal gas behavior in the vapor state, and the
condensation of gases to the liquid or solid states. In
general, stronger interactions allow the solid and liquid
states to persist to higher temperatures. These
interactions are generally called dispersion forces. The
London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular
force. It is a temporary attractive force that results
when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy
positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles.
IMF
Dipole–Dipole Interactions
• Dipole-Dipole interactions result when two dipolar
molecules interact with each other through space.
When this occurs, the partially negative portion of
one of the polar molecules is attracted to the
partially positive portion of the second polar
molecule. This type of interaction between
molecules accounts for many physically and
biologically significant phenomena such as the
elevated boiling point of water.
IMF
Hydrogen Bonds
• A hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force (IMF) that
forms a special type of dipole-dipole attraction when a
hydrogen atom bonded to a strongly electronegative
atom exists in the vicinity of another electronegative
atom with a lone pair of electrons. Intermolecular
forces (IMFs) occur between molecules. Other
examples include ordinary dipole-dipole interactions
and dispersion forces. Hydrogen bonds are are
generally stronger than ordinary dipole-dipole and
dispersion forces, but weaker than true covalent and
ionic bonds.
IMF
Summary
Intermolecular forces (IMF) are part of our daily life, you might even wonder why
there are different states of matter. There are so many forms of bond, you also have
a “special bond” to the person whom you know, but it is your choice whether you are
going to make it more strong or let the bond be destroyed, just try to think of that.
