Intermolecular forces

Forces that act between separate molecules

Interatomic forces

Forces between atoms within a molecule (chemical bonds)

Polar molecule

Has δ+ and δ- regions forming a dipole

Hydrogen bonding requirement

H bonded to N, O, or F

Ion-dipole forces

Forces between an ion and a polar molecule

Dipole-dipole forces

Forces between two polar molecules

Induced dipole forces

Forces between non-polar molecules (temporary dipoles)

Stronger intermolecular forces effect

Higher melting/boiling points, higher viscosity

Like dissolves like

Polar in polar; non-polar in non-polar solvents

Molecular size effect

Larger molecules have stronger intermolecular forces
