Molecules are formed by sharing electrons between the atoms.
Intermolecular Forces
Forces that occur between molecules.
Dipole–dipole forces
Hydrogen bonding
London dispersion forces
Intramolecular bonds are stronger than intermolecular forces.
Hydrogen Bonding in Water
Blue dotted lines are the intermolecular forces between the water molecules.
Phases Changes
When a substance changes from solid to liquid to gas, the molecules remain intact.
The changes in state are due to changes in the forces among molecules rather than in those within the molecules.
Schematic Representation of the Three States of Matter
Phases Changes at the Molecular Level
Solid to Liquid
As energy is added, the motions of the molecules increase, and they eventually achieve the greater movement and disorder characteristic of a liquid.
Liquid to Gas
As more energy is added, the gaseous state is eventually reached, with the individual molecules far apart and interacting relatively little.

Gas (\(400^\circ\,\text{C}, 1\,\text{atm}\))

Dipole-Dipole Forces
Dipole moment – molecules with polar bonds often behave in an electric field as if they had a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge.
Molecules with dipole moments can attract each other electrostatically. They line up so that the positive and negative ends are close to each other.
Only about 1% as strong as covalent or ionic bonds.
Hydrogen Bonding
Strong dipole-dipole forces.
Hydrogen is bound to a highly electronegative atom – nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.
That same hydrogen is then electrostatically attracted to a lone pair on the nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine on adjacent molecules.
London Dispersion Forces
Instantaneous dipole that occurs accidentally in a given atom induces a similar dipole in a neighboring atom.
Significant in large atoms/molecules.
Occurs in all molecules, including nonpolar ones.
Melting and Boiling Points
In general, the stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the melting and boiling points.
Concept Check 1
Which gas would behave more ideally at the same conditions of P and T?
$$ \chem{CO}\;\;\;\; \text{ or }\;\;\;\; \chem{N_2} $$
Why?
Concept Check 1 - Answer
Which gas would behave more ideally at the same conditions of P and T?
$$ \chem{CO}\;\;\;\; \text{ or }\;\;\;\; \color{green} \chem{N_2} $$
Why?
\(\chem{N_2}\) would behave more ideally because it is nonpolar and only exhibits London dispersion forces, therefore the intermolecular forces between \(\chem{N_2}\) molecules are weak (and thus the collisions will be more "elastic"). \(\chem{CO}\) also exhibits dipole-dipole interactions.
The Liquid State
Liquids
Low compressibility, lack of rigidity, and high density compared with gases.
Surface tension - resistance of a liquid to an increase in its surface area:
Liquids with large intermolecular forces tend to have high surface tensions.
Capillary action - spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube:
Cohesive forces - intermolecular forces among the molecules of the liquid.
Adhesive forces - forces between the liquid molecules and their container.

Which force dominates alongside the glass tube – cohesive or adhesive forces?
$$ \color{blue}\text{adhesive forces} $$
Liquids
Viscosity - measure of a liquid's resistance to flow:
Liquids with large intermolecular forces or molecular complexity tend to be highly viscous.

Closest Packing Model
Closest Packing:
Assumes that metal atoms are uniform, hard spheres.
Spheres are packed in layers.
The Closest Packing Arrangement of Uniform Spheres
abab packing - the 2nd layer is like the 1st but it is displaced so that each sphere in the 2nd layer occupies a dimple in the 1st layer.
The spheres in the 3rd layer occupy dimples in the 2nd layer so that the spheres in the 3rd layer lie directly over those in the 1st layer.
The Closest Packing Arrangement of Uniform Spheres - cont.
abca packing - the spheres in the 3rd layer occupy dimples in the 2nd layer so that no spheres in the 3rd layer lie above any in the 1st layer.

Example 1 - Answer
What is the vapor pressure of water at 100°C?
$$ \color{green} 1\,\text{atm} $$
How do you know?
The vapor pressure of water at 100°C is 1 atm. You know this because atmospheric pressure is 1 atm and this is the temperature at which we observe water to boil.
Vapor Pressure - cont.
Liquids in which the intermolecular forces are large have relatively low vapor pressures.
Vapor pressure increases significantly with temperature.
