Intermolecular Forces
and
Liquids and Solids
A phase is a homogeneous part of the system in
contact with other parts of the system but
separated from them by a well-defined boundary.
2 Phases
Solid phase - ice
Liquid phase - water

Intermolecular Forces
Intermolecular forces are attractive forces between
molecules.
Intramolecular forces hold atoms together in a molecule.
Intermolecular vs Intramolecular
●41 kJ to vaporize 1 mole of water (inter)
●930 kJ to break all O-H bonds in 1 mole of water (intra)

Types of Intermolecular Forces
1. Hydrogen Bond (strongest)
The hydrogen bond is a special dipole-dipole interaction
between the hydrogen atom in a polar N-H, O-H, or F-H bond
and an electronegative O, N, or F atom. IT IS NOT A BOND.
A H…B or A H…A
A & B are N, O, or F

4. Dispersion Forces Continued
Polarizability is the ease with which the electron distribution
in the atom or molecule can be distorted.
Polarizability increases with:
●greater number of electrons
●more diffuse electron cloud
Dispersion
forces usually
increase with
molar mass.
11.2
What type(s) of intermolecular forces exist between
each of the following molecules?
HBr
HBr is a polar molecule: dipole-dipole forces. There are
also dispersion forces between HBr molecules.
CH4
CH4 is nonpolar: dispersion forces.
S O
SO2 O
SO2 is a polar molecule: dipole-dipole forces. There are
also dispersion forces between SO2 molecules.

A crystalline solid possesses rigid and long-range order. In a
crystalline solid, atoms, molecules or ions occupy specific
(predictable) positions.
An amorphous solid does not possess a well-defined
arrangement and long-range molecular order.
A unit cell is the basic repeating structural unit of a crystalline
solid.

Types of Crystals
Ionic Crystals – Ion-Ion interactions are the strongest
(including the “intermolecular forces” (H bonding, etc.)
●Lattice points occupied by cations and anions
●Held together by electrostatic attraction
●Hard, brittle, high melting point
●Poor conductor of heat and electricity

The boiling point is the temperature at which the
(equilibrium) vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the
external pressure.
The normal boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid
boils when the external pressure is 1 atm.

The critical temperature (Tc) is the temperature above which
the gas cannot be made to liquefy, no matter how great the
applied pressure.
The critical pressure
(Pc) is the minimum
pressure that must be
applied to bring about
liquefaction at the
critical temperature.
