Interpretation:
Types of attractive intermolecular interactions that arise between molecules of
Concept Introduction:
Intermolecular forces are forces that are responsible for interaction between molecules. Such forces include both attractive as well as repulsive forces.
Types of intermolecular forces:
1. Ion-dipole forces: These forces come into play when ions interact with polar molecules. Ion gets attracted to oppositely charged end of polar molecule.
2. Dipole-dipole forces: These forces arise when there is interaction between oppositely charged ends of different dipoles.
3. London forces: These forces exist when there is interaction between nonpolar molecules. There occurs distortion in symmetry of electron clouds when two nonpolar molecules come closer to each other. Such forces exist in all molecules and therefore London forces are called universal.
4. Hydrogen bonding: This intermolecular force exists when hydrogen atoms are connected to highly electronegative elements like

The balanced bonds holding together the carbons and hydrogens in a molecule of Ethane. Hydrogen Fluoride is added to an aqueous solution. It dissolves due to interactions between partially-charged atoms in the Hydrogen Fluoride and Water molecules. The fatty acid tails on phospholipids are strongly attracted to each other because they are strongly repelled by water. This allows them to form phospholipid bi-layer structures. Ethanol contains an alcohol group with an oxygen atom that is strongly electronegative. This causes the molecule's electrons to be unbalanced, resulting in a partially-charged molecule.

- Coulombs Law describes the interaction between two charges and varies by the magnitude of these charges and inversely with the distance between them. For atoms, we'll label the charges as the nuclear charge and electron charge. 9192 9nuclelec As you go up in atomic number (Z), the number of protons in the nucleus increases, making the charge on the nucleus increase, so that in general. qnuc = Z ·(+1) However if we think only of the electrons in the outermost shells (valence electrons), they do not see the full strength of the nuclear charge because it is partially shielded (or canceled out if you prefer) by the core electrons. So we define something called effective charge. Shielding Experiences net charge of about 1+ Nucleus Effective Charge = # of protons Zeff = Z – core # of core electrons In general, Zeff increases as you go across in the periodic table. 1.
