Dipole-dipole forces definition

Intermolecular forces of attraction between polar molecules

Type of molecules with dipole-dipole forces

Polar molecules

Nature of dipole-dipole forces

Permanent

Dipole-dipole: inter- or intramolecular?

Intermolecular (between molecules)

Dipole-dipole strength vs London forces

Stronger than London forces

Example molecule with dipole-dipole forces

HClHCl or propanone (acetone)

Hydrogen bonding definition

Strong dipole-dipole with H bonded to N, O, or F

Elements for hydrogen bonding (NOF rule)

Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), Fluorine (F)

H-bond strength (% of covalent bond)

~10% of covalent bond

Why H-bonding is strong

Small H atom + high electronegativity of N, O, F

Boiling point of water (H2OH_2O)

100°C

Effect of H-bonding on boiling points

Much higher boiling points

Reason ice floats

Hydrogen bonding in water

'Like dissolves like' rule

Polar dissolves in polar; non-polar in non-polar

Polar & non-polar substance mixing

Do not mix well
