Van der Waals Forces

• Intermolecular between molecules (not a bond)
•  
• Intramolecular bonds within molecules (stronger)

Covalent Bonds
IMF

• ? electrostatic attraction
• e- s of one atom to another atoms nucleus

Evidence of VDW Forces?

• Non-polar molecules can form gases, liquids and
  solids.
• Ex CO2

10
Hydrogen Bonding

• STRONGEST Intermolecular Force!!
• A special type of dipole-dipole attraction
• Bonds form due to the polarity of water
• Draw 4 H2O molecules in your notes

Covalent Bonds
Ice
Liquid
11
Hydrogen Bonding cont

• Hydrogen bonds keep water in the liquid phase
  over a wider range of temperatures than is found
  for any other molecule of its size

12
Hydrogen bonds account for the high boiling point
of water
13
Expansion of Ice

• Ice expands when water freezes compared to most
  substances that contract when freezing

• Halos, Sundogs, Pillars are caused by hexagonal
  ice crystals

17
Ponds Freezing

• Solid water (ice) has a lower density than liquid
  water

18
Why is this good?
Ponds freeze from the top down, insulating the
water below and keeping it from freezing solid.
Without this, ponds would freeze solid and thaw
more slowly

Surface Tension

• Enhancement of the intermolecular attractive
  forces at the surface

21
Evidence

• Lab
• Dixie cup
• Penny
• Capillary tube
• needle

http//www.youtube.com/watch?vvajL48mwsCA
22
What causes surface tension?

• The cohesive forces between molecules are shared
  with all neighboring atoms.
• Since the surface has no neighboring atoms above,
  they exhibit stronger attractive forces for their
  neighbors next to and below them

23
How many drops can you get on a penny?

• Water?
• TTE?
• Why is there a difference???
• Water has strong Hydrogen Bonds and TTE has
  weaker intermolecular forces

25
Capillary Rise
glass
gravity
H2O Hg

• Water rises up the capillary tube because there
  are unbalanced forces between the water and glass
  and the water and gravity

26
Which is larger? Adhesion or Cohesion?
Adhesion attraction between H2O (Hg)
glass Cohesion attraction of H2O (Hg) molec. to
each other
Adhesion gt Cohesion
Cohesion gt Adhesion
27
Do other liquids exhibit capillary rise?

• As long as they are attracted to glass and have
  enough cohesion

28
IM forces and interactions between liquids and
surfaces
Cohesion gt Adhesion Liquid Beads on Surface
Cohesion lt Adhesion Liquid Wets the Surface

3 Types of Van der Waals Forces

• 1)    dipole-dipole
• 2)    dipole-induced dipole
• 3) dispersion

30
Dipole-Dipole
Two polar molecules align so that d and d- are
matched (electrostatic attraction) Ex ethane
(C2H6) vs. fluromethane (CH3F)
31
Fluoromethane (CH3F) boiling point 194.7 K
polar or non-polar?
H H H C F H C F H
H
Ethane (C2H6) boiling point 184.5 K
polar or non-polar?
32
Try This

• Draw two KBr molecules and draw their
  dipole-dipole interactions with a dashed line.

33
What does to induce mean?

• To cause or bring about
• Ex
• Induced vomiting
• Induced labor
• Induced coma

34
Dipole-Induced Dipole

• A dipole can induce (cause)
• a temporary dipole to form in a
• non-polar molecule
• The molecules then line up
• to match d and d- charges

38
Dispersion Forces

• A temporary dipole forms in a
• non-polar molecule
• which leads to
• a temporary dipole to form in ANOTHER non-polar
  molecule
• Dispersion is the ONLY intermolecular attraction
  that occurs between non-polar molecules

Evaporation Questions

• Why do we sweat?
• breaking waters bonds has a cooling effect
• high energy molecules are lost

48
2. Why does water stay cool in clay containers?

• Since clay is porous, high energy molecules
  escape leaving lower temperature water

When the water added to the sand evaporates in
the Pot-in-Pot Cooler, it pulls heat from the
smaller pot, keeping vegetables cool.

temperature?

• High energy molecules escape
• Evaporation occurs at all temperatures

52

• 4. Define vapor pressure
