  • Structure and Bonding
    • London Dispersion Forces
      • Weakest of all Van der Vaal forces
      • The atom or molecule gets sightly charged ends known as a temporary dipole.
        • This charge can then induce an opposite charge in a neighbouring atom or molecule called an induced dipole.
          • The oppositely charged ands attract each other creating intermolecular bonds
      • uneven distribution of electrons

    • Permanent Dipole Interactions
      • a molecule which has permenantly charged ends.
      • these forces are stronger than London dispersion forces.

    • Polar Polar Molecules
      • A polar molecule is a molecule which has a permanent slightly positive charge on one side and a permanent slightly negative on the other.
      • The side with the higher the electro -negativity will be the side with the negative charge as it has a stronger pull on the electrons.
      • When molecules have equal charges on each side it would be non-polar.

    • Hydrogen Bonding
      • Hydrogen bonds are permenant dipole interactions found between molecules which contain highly polar bonds.
      • They are usually found in molecules when H is bonded to either Fluorine, Nitrogen or oxygen.
      • When H bonds are present the compound will have a much higher melting point and boiling point.
