Intermolecular Forces

n What happens to gas phase molecules when

subjected to increased pressure?

n Volume occupied by gas decreases (IGL) n At higher pressures: get negative deviations from IGL -due to intermolecular attraction ( Van deWaals Equation ) n At a high enough pressure:

ABRUPT decrease (100x or more) in volume

Phase Transition: Gas → Liquid

- due to intermolecular attractive forces

3

Electrostatic Attraction

n All based on electrostatic attraction, but not strong enough to be considered a chemical bond

n Recall: Ionic Bonds

- electrostatic attraction between two ions:

Na+^ Cl- Bond strength varies with: -charge on ions -distance (r) separating ions -force varies with 1/r^2 -bond energy (force acting over a distance r) then varies with 1/r -ionic bond energies: very large (300 - 600 kJ/mol)

4

Ion-Dipole Interactions

n Ions can have electrostatic interactions with polar molecules:

Both attractive and repulsive forces are operative here

  • lower energy interaction (10 - 20 kJ/mol)

-energy drops off as 1/r^2

7

London Dispersion Forces

n These are usually very weak interactions (0.05 - 2 kJ/mol) n Energy drops of as 1/r^6

n ALL atoms and molecules will experience London Dispersion Forces

n Magnitude of force will depend upon how easy it is to distort the electron cloud ( polarize):

- favors atoms and molecules that are LARGE and have the greatest surface area

8

Boiling Point Trends

n The enthalpy change associated with vaporization is due to the disruption of these intermolecular forces n The magnitude of ∆Hovap is reflected in the boiling point temperature (Tb) for a compound n For polar molecules:

More BP Trends

n For NONPOLAR species:

increased molar mass = greater polarizability

10

Hydride Boiling Points

n Something strange in the B.P. of some hydrides: -unusually high B.P. for water -same effect observed with other 2nd Period hydrides: -Tb(HF) > Tb(HCl) -Tb(NH 3 ) > Tb(PH 3 )

What’s going on here?

13

H-bonding in Water

n Hydrogen bonding in water is very significant

n Without H-bonding, we would expect water to have a B.P. of about -123 oC Hydrogen acts as a^ bridge^ to facilitate electron-sharing between the oxygen atoms on adjacent molecules

14

Structure of Water

n Each oxygen can accommodate interactions with four hydrogen atoms ( bonding, 2 H-bonding)

-gives a hexagonal structure in solid phase

-more open space than liquid phase, so solid water is less dense than liquid water

15

Overview of IM-Forces

16

Some Properties of Liquids

n Viscosity

-characterizes a liquid’s resistance to flow -varies with the degree of intermolecular attraction

n Surface Tension

-molecules on the surface of a bulk liquid experience intermolecular attraction only from molecules in the bulk solution below the surface

-so, surface molecules are more tightly packed than molecules in the bulk solution
