Intermolecular Forces

• Intermolecular Forces

  • Attractive or repulsive forces between molecules.
  • Depending on its strength, IMF causes the formation of different phases of matter.
  • Temperature and Kinetic Energy depends on IMF.
• Intermolecular Forces

  • Attractive force between molecules.
  • Bond is weaker and temporary.
  • Represented by solid lines/dashes.
• Chemical Bonding

  • Hold atoms together in a molecule.
  • Attractive force within molecules(or atoms).
  • Bond is stronger and more likely permanent.
  • Represented by broken lines/dashes.
  • Also known as intramolecular forces
• Types of Intermolecular Forces

  • Ion-Ion Forces
  • Ion-Dipole Forces
  • Dipole-Dipole Forces
  • Hydrogen Bond Forces
  • London Forces
