Interpretation:
Ion-dipole, induced dipole-induced dipole, dipole-dipole in gas phase, ion-ion and dipole-dipole in solid phase in order of their strengths has to be arranged.
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

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- The energy of the van der Waals bond, which is responsible for a number of the characteristics of water, is about 0.50 eV. (a) At what temperature would the average translational kinetic energy of water molecules be equal to this energy? (b) At that temperature, would water be liquid or gas? Under ordinary everyday conditions, do van der Waals forces play a role in the behavior of water?arrow_forwardIllustrate the Origin of surface tension ?arrow_forwardExplain the significance of the triple point?arrow_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.
