Outlines
💧 Intermolecular Forces Explained
This paragraph introduces intermolecular forces by using the example of water molecules. It explains that these forces are the attractive forces that hold molecules together. The script clarifies that these forces are not just between any atoms but specifically between molecules. The forces are electrostatic and can be either attractive or repulsive. The paragraph also outlines three types of intermolecular forces studied at the college level: hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole forces, and London dispersion forces. Each type is associated with different types of molecules: hydrogen bonding with very polar molecules like water, hydrogen fluoride, and ammonia; dipole-dipole forces with polar molecules like HCl and sulfur dioxide; and London dispersion forces with non-polar molecules like hydrogen gas and chlorine gas. The script also mentions that intermolecular forces are unique to non-metals, with metals having intramolecular forces like metallic bonds instead. Lastly, it introduces the concept that the strength of intermolecular forces correlates with the boiling points of compounds, with stronger forces requiring more thermal energy to overcome.
🔥 Boiling Points and Intermolecular Forces
In this paragraph, the focus is on the relationship between boiling points and intermolecular forces. It explains that boiling points are directly proportional to the strength of these forces, with higher boiling points indicating stronger intermolecular forces. The script uses water and acetone as examples, noting that water's higher boiling point is due to its strong intermolecular forces. The paragraph also discusses the concept of strong versus weak intermolecular forces and how they relate to the ease of separating molecules. The strongest intermolecular force is identified as hydrogen bonding, which occurs when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative element, exemplified by hydrogen fluoride, water, and ammonia. Conversely, the weakest force is the London dispersion force, which is present even in non-polar molecules but becomes stronger with an increase in the number of electrons, as seen in the comparison between water and methane boiling points. The script concludes by reinforcing that hydrogen bonding is the strongest force, followed by dipole-dipole forces, and then London dispersion forces.

what are intermolecular forces well
consider hydrogen plus oxygen we know
that when hydrogen plus oxygen react
together they form a molecule of water
so this is a single molecule of water in
this single molecule of water there are
two atoms of hydrogen and there is only
one atom of oxygen
now consider these four molecules of
water or i say four basic units of water
let me ask you what are holding together
these four molecules of water are these
four basic units of water
well there is attractive force between
these two molecules of water there is
attractive force between these two
molecules of water and there is also
attractive force between these two
molecules of water so the answer is
simple attractive forces are holding
together these four molecules of water
in chemistry
these attractive forces between
molecules are called
intermolecular forces let me repeat it
in chemistry these attractive forces
between molecules are called
intermolecular forces
thus we say that
intermolecular forces exist between
these two molecules of water
intermolecular forces exist between
these two molecules of water and
intermolecular forces also exist between
these two molecules of water
therefore we define intermolecular
forces as
the attractive or repulsive forces
between molecules of a compound are
called intermolecular forces let me
repeat it the attractive or repulsive
forces between molecules of a compound
are called intermolecular forces
remember that intermolecular forces
usually exist between molecules
not between atoms
here let me teach you one bonus point
all intermolecular forces are
electrostatic and natural
consider case number one and case number
two in case number one this negative
side of this molecule and this positive
side of this molecule attract each other
so we say that here intermolecular
forces are attractive
while in second case this negative side
of this molecule and this negative side
of this molecule repel each other so we
say that
here repulsive intermolecular forces
exist
therefore we say that all intermolecular
forces are electrostatic and natural
this noted down this important point now
let me teach you the different types of
intermolecular forces at college level
we only study three types of
intermolecular forces like hydrogen
bonding dipole-dipole forces
and london dispersion forces
hydrogen bonding exists between
molecules like water hydrogen fluoride
and ammonia
dipole-dipole forces exist between two
polar molecules like hcl sulfur dioxide
etc while london dispersion forces exist
between two non-polar molecules
like hydrogen gas fluorine gas chlorine
gas oxygen gas
if you want to learn more about these
types of intermolecular forces then
watch our lectures and their links are
given in the description
now let me teach you some concepts about
intermolecular forces
is it true that intermolecular forces
only exist in non-metals
the answer is yes intermolecular forces
only exist in non-metals while
intermolecular forces do not exist in
metals
secondly what type of intermolecular
forces are present in metals
well metal contains no intermolecular
forces rather metal contains
intramolecular forces are chemical bond
like metallic bond if you want to learn
more about intermolecular forces and
intramolecular forces then watch our
lecture and its link is given in the
description
just noted down these important
questions
also you should learn that what is the
relationship between boiling points and
intermolecular forces
well to learn this concept you must
learn the concept of strong
intermolecular forces and weak
intermolecular forces
when we cannot easily separate the
molecule of a compound we say that it is
a strong intermolecular force
in case of strong intermolecular force
we need more thermal energy to separate
the molecule
on the other hand when we can easily
separate the molecule of a compound we
say that it is a weak intermolecular
force in case of weak intermolecular
force we need less thermal energy to
separate the molecules in the light of
these facts we say that boiling point is
directly proportional to intermolecular
forces for example
the boiling point of water is 100 degree
centigrade and the boiling point of
acetone is 50 degree centigrade
here the boiling point of water is high
and the boiling point of acetone is low
can you guess that which compound has
strong intermolecular forces well the
boiling point of water is high so it has
strong intermolecular forces
on the other hand the boiling point of
acetone is low so it has weak
intermolecular forces
finally let me teach you two bonus
questions
what is the strongest intermolecular
force
well the answer is hydrogen bonding
hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is
bonded to a strongly electronegative
element
for example consider hydrogen and
fluorine we know that hydrogen has only
one electron therefore it is less
negative
one can say that it is almost positive
on the other hand fluorine atom is
highly electronegative atom
this causes very strong attractive force
between weak and strong atoms this large
amount of energy is needed to break this
bound therefore hydrogen is the
strongest intermolecular force
remember that it exists in hydrogen
fluoride water and nh3
lastly what is the weakest
intermolecular force
comparatively we say that london
dispersion forces is considered to be
the weak intermolecular force
for example the boiling point of water
is 100 degree centigrade and the boiling
point of methane is minus 162 degree
centigrade but keep it in mind london
forces gradually increases as the number
of electrons increases in a molecule for
example consider decan
the boiling point of decan is 174 degree
centigrade and that of the water is 100
degree centigrade
just remember that the strongest
intermolecular force is hydrogen bonding
and the weakest intermolecular force is
london dispersion force therefore we say
that hydrogen bonding is the strongest
intermolecular forces then dipole-dipole
forces
then london dispersion forces thus noted
down these important points
