Understand how ionic and covalently bonded compounds are held together through intermolecular forces, including Van der Waals forces and dipole-dipole forces. Explore the concept of hydrogen bonding and its impact on compound properties.

How are ionic compounds held together? Each ion is strongly attracted to the other ions in the crystal lattice because of alternating positive and negative charges
How are covalently bonded compounds (molecular compounds) held together?
Molecular compounds The molecules are held together by Intermolecular forces
What does “inter” mean? Interstate highway: a highway between 2 different states Interscholastic sports: sports competition between 2 different schools International treaty: an agreement between 2 different nations
What does intermolecular forces mean? Forces of attraction between 2 different molecules Molecule # 1 Molecule # 2
This is different than the BOND that hold the atoms in each individual molecule Atom # 1 Bond Atom # 2
If the force of attraction between two molecules is strong, the molecules will tend to “stick” together
If the force of attraction between two molecules is weak, the molecules willtend to “drift” apart
Weak Intermolecular Forces The weakest intermolecular force is called Van Der Waals Forces Non Polar molecules (diatomic elements) are held together by these weak forces
Weak Intermolecular Forces The weakest intermolecular force is called Van Der Waals Forces Most compounds held together by Van Der Waals forces are gases at room temperature: O2, N2 , H2 , F2 etc
Strong Intermolecular Forces A strong intermolecular force is called Dipole-dipole Force Polar molecules are held together by dipole –dipole forces
A strong intermolecular force is called Dipole-dipole Force Strong Intermolecular Forces + - + - The molecules “stick” together like magnets + - + - + -
Molecules held together by dipole-dipole forceshave higher melting and boiling points + - + - + - + - + -
The strongest intermolecular force …..unfortunately has a very misleading name: Hydrogen Bonding It is NOT an ionic, covalent, or metallic BOND
Hydrogen Bonding Is the attraction between a Hydrogen atom in one molecule, and an Oxygen, Nitrogen, or Fluorine atom in another molecule N O F H
Hydrogen bonding gives water its unusually high boiling point for such a small molecule
