1 Slide 1 Intermolecular ForcesLove & Hate in the Molecular Realm1 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 2 If I put 2 molecules into a sealed flask, what could happen? ignore each LOVE each other they re attracted to each HATE each other they repel each other2 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 3 REMEMBER: MOLECULES MOVE! (except at 0 K)3 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 4 If they LOVE each other, what would that look like?InitiallyLater4 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 5 If they HATE each other, what would that look like?

3 But it is the primary Intermolecular atoms or molecules with electrons have Van der Waal s Forces so ALL atoms or molecules have Van der Waal s forces10 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 11 Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forcesBrBrBrBrThe electron cloud is density is constantly moving around - + - +Instantaneous dipoleInduced dipole11 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 12 How Great is THAT!?!?!?BrBrBrBr - + - +Instantaneous loveInduced loveBecause the induced love is ALWAYS a mirror image of the instantaneous love, dispersion Forces are ALWAYS attractive12 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 13 Dispersion Forces are ALWAYS ATTRACTIVEAll molecules like each other, at least a little bit.

4 So all molecules stick together, at least a little they didn universe would be a much more chaotic place!Occasional repulsion would have things flying apart all over the place!13 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 14 Van der Waal s forcesVan der Waal s Forces get stronger as the temporary dipole gets temporary dipole is caused by electron mobility, so the more electrons the stronger the Van der Waal s Forces .# electrons increases as # protons, so the heavier the molecule the stronger the Van der Waal s _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 15 AlkanesMethane CH4 Ethane CH3CH3 Propane CH3CH2CH3 Butane -CH3CH2CH2CH3 Pentane -CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3 Hexane -CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 Heptane -CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 Octane -CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH315 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 16 What do they look like?

5 Here s propane (C3H8). CH3CH2CH316 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 17 When you include the Space-filling model CH3CH2CH317 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 18 Here s pentane (C5H12): CH3CH2CH2CH2CH318 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 19 Space-filling model of pentane19 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 20 Pentane is just a longer caterpillar than makes it easier to compare these molecules, they are _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 21 What do you know about these molecules?

6 Methane CH4 Ethane CH3CH3 Propane CH3CH2CH3 Butane -CH3CH2CH2CH3 Pentane -CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3 Hexane -CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 Heptane -CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 Octane -CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH321 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 22 What do you know about these molecules?Methane gas at standard T & PEthane gas at standard T & PPropane gas at standard T & P Liquid under slight pressureButane -gas at standard T & P Liquid under slight pressurePentane -LiquidHexane -LiquidHeptane -LiquidOctane -Liquid22 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 23 Solids, Liquids, and GasesWhat is the difference between a solid, a liquid, and a gas microscopically?

7 How tightly stuck together the molecules are!!!Solids are stuck together more than liquids that are stuck together more than gases23 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 24 Sticking together is a function of TWO things:How much you like each how much you are trying to get away from each the context of molecules, this is a question of Intermolecular Forces vs. kinetic _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 25 ALL MOLECULES MOVE! (except at 0 K)25 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 26 Motion = Kinetic Energy = TemperatureKinetic energy is energy of motion.

8 Temperature is a measure of the mean kinetic energy of molecules .Temperature reflects your desire to _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 27 Solids, Liquids, and Gases & HeatWhat happens when you heat up a solid?Eventually it melts why?Adding heat adds energy to the molecules, when they have enough energy they can escape their attraction to their neighbors!27 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 28 When 2 molecules like each _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 29 29 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 30 But, they are _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 31 If they are HOT HOTHOT!

9 31 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 32 If they are very COLLLLDDD32 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 33 Intermolecular depend on distance between the can t change the structure of the molecule. But the farther apart they are, the smaller the force they feel.[Think gravity and distance from the center of the earth.]33 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 34 I can add Hot and Cold are is a balance between the temperature (kinetic energy) of the molecules that is trying to separate them and the Intermolecular Forces which are trying to hold them point or boiling point is the kinetic energy where the balance _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 35 Van der Waal s Forces first consideration but not the last!

10 But ALL the Intermolecular Forces are about CHARGE! (Opposites attract.)ALL Intermolecular Forces are ATTRACTIVE in the _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 36 Dipole Dipole InteractionsHBr - +HBr + -Permanent dipolePermanent dipole36 _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 37 Seems REPULSIVE but it s really notHBr - +HBr + -Permanent dipolePermanent dipoleMOLECULES ARE MOBILE. They always align themselves. That s why I say that in the end all Intermolecular Forces are _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Slide 38 Dipole Dipole interactionsA molecule with a permanent dipole is called a polar molecule.
