Intermolecular Forces

IMF's

Intermolecular forces of attraction

IMF's

• London dispersion (VanderWaals)

• Dipole-Dipole

• Hydrogen Bonding (H-NOF)

London Dispersion Forces (VanderWaals)

~~is between NON polar and NON polar molecules

(there are no dipoles to attract to each other)

WEAK and Wimpy forces of attraction!

Dipole Dipole force of attraction

between POLAR molecules

Hydrogen Bonding: is between POLAR molecules that contain H-N, H-O, or H-F

It is the STRONGEST force of attraction
