Types of attractive intermolecular interactions that arise between molecules of
Concept Introduction:
Intermolecular forces are forces that are responsible for interaction between molecules. Such forces include both attractive as well as repulsive forces.
Types of intermolecular forces:
1. Ion-dipole forces: These forces come into play when ions interact with polar molecules. Ion gets attracted to oppositely charged end of polar molecule.
2. Dipole-dipole forces: These forces arise when there is interaction between oppositely charged ends of different dipoles.
3. London forces: These forces exist when there is interaction between nonpolar molecules. There occurs distortion in symmetry of electron clouds when two nonpolar molecules come closer to each other. Such forces exist in all molecules and therefore London forces are called universal.
4. Hydrogen bonding: This intermolecular force exists when hydrogen atoms are connected to highly electronegative elements like

- Ethanol, C2H5OH, and carbon dioxide, CO2, have approximately the same molecular mass,yet carbon dioxide is a gas at STP and ethanol is a liquid. How do you account for thisdifference in physical property?arrow_forwardSilane SiH4, phosphine (PH3), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) melt at 185 C, 133 C, and 85 C, respectively. What does this suggest about the polar character and intermolecular attractions of the three compounds?arrow_forwardDefine the following terms and describe how each depends on the strength of the intermolecular forces. a. surface tension b. viscosity c. melting point d. boiling point e. vapor pressurearrow_forward
- Nuclear magnetic resonance can be used to determine the mobility of molecules in liquids. A set of measurements on methane in carbon tetrachloride showed that its diffusion coefficient is 2.05 × 10−9 m2 s−1 at 0 °C and 2.89 × 10−9 m2 s−1 at 25 °C. Deduce what information you can about the mobility of methane in carbon tetrachloride.arrow_forwardWhat type(s) of intermolecular forces are expected between GeH4 molecules?arrow_forwardWhich of the following molecules can have dipole-dipole interactions? ch4 nh3 co2 ccl4 all of these?arrow_forward
