Intermolecular forces
- Intermolecular forces are the attractive and repulsive forces that arise between the molecules of a substance.
- Intermolecular forces are mainly responsible for the physical characteristics of the substance.
- The stronger the noncovalent interactions between molecules, the more energy that is required, in the form of heat, to break them apart.
- The boiling point and melting point of a substance is proportional to the strength of its non-covalent intermolecular forces i.e. the stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point and melting point.
- The strongest intermolecular force is the hydrogen bond.
- The weakest intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces.
London Forces:
- The instantaneous dipole–induced dipole attractions are called London dispersion forces.
- The name is given after Fritz London (1900–1954), a German physicist who developed this model to explain the intermolecular attractions that exist between non- polar molecules.
- London’s dispersion forces occur between all molecules.
- These very weak attractions occur because of the random motions of electrons on atoms within molecules.
