Basics of Chemistry

Intermolecular Forces

By

The forces within the molecule

The bonds which hold the molecule together

• Covalent bonds

• Ionic Bonds

Intramolecular Forces

The forces between molecules

These forces hold more than one molecule to each other.

• London Dispersion Forces ​

• Dipole-Dipole Forces

• Hydrogen Bonds

Intermolecular forces

Intermolecular Forces vs Intramolecular Forces

Some text here about the topic of discussion

​The weakest Intermolecular forces

Found in all molecules 

   The electrons group on one side of the molecule or atom 

Inducing a dipole in neighbor atom and making them "sticky" 

The only force found in non-polar molecules

​

London Dispersion Forces

​

Forces between polar molecules 

​

The positive end of one molecule is attracted to negative end of another 

Weak attractions: most melt and boil at low  temps 

​

mostly gases and liquids at room temp

​

​Dipole-Dipole Moment

​

A strong dipole -dipole 

Occurs between molecules that have hydrogen bonded to Nitrogen, Oxygen or Fluorine

Terminal H atoms are basically unshielded protons
