Ch. 11: Liquids and Intermolecular Forces Learning goals and key skills: Identify the intermolecular attractive interactions (dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole) that exist between molecules or ions based on their composition and molecular structure and be able to compare the relative strengths of these intermolecular forces Explain the concept of polarizability and how it relates to dispersion forces Explain the concepts of viscosity and surface tension in liquids Know the names of various changes of state for a pure substance Interpret heating curves and be able to calculate quantities related to temperature and enthalpies of phase changes Define critical pressure, critical temperature, vapor pressure, normal boiling point, normal melting point, critical point, and triple point Be able to interpret and sketch phase diagrams. Explain how water s phase diagram differs from most other substances, and why. Understand how the molecular arrangements characteristic or nematic, smectic, and choloesteric liquid crystals differ from ordinary liquids and from each other. Be able to recognize the features of molecules that favor formation of liquid crystalline phases. Gases In gases the particles/molecules are far apart and the intermolecular forces between them are weak.... vs liquids and solids In liquids and solids this is not true. Instead we must consider the intermolecular forces, i.e., the forces that exist between atoms and molecules. 1
Strength of intermolecular attractions States of Matter The fundamental difference between states of matter is the distance between particles. Because in the solid and liquid states particles are closer together, we refer to them as condensed phases. The States of Matter The state a substance is in at a particular temperature and pressure depends on: The kinetic energy of the particles The strength of the attractions between the particles 2
Intermolecular Forces 3
Intermolecular Forces ion-dipole hydrogen bonding dipole-dipole dispersion forces (London) van der Waals forces The strength of these intermolecular forces is directly related to the melting/boiling points, enthalpy of fusion, enthalpy of vaporization, and solubility of the substances. Dispersion forces These induced dipoles lead to intermolecular attractions. This is how nonpolar gas molecules (e.g. He, N 2, etc.) can liquefy. The ease with which the electron distribution in a molecule is distorted is called its polarizability. London dispersion forces Dispersion forces tend to increase with increasing molecular weight.

Factors Affecting Dispersion Forces The shape of the molecule affects the dispersion forces: long, thin molecules (like n-pentane tend to have stronger dispersion forces than short, round ones (like neopentane). This is due to the increased surface area in n-pentane. Polar Covalent Bonds and Electronegativity Although atoms often form compounds by sharing electrons, the electrons are not always shared equally. Electronegativity is the ability of atoms in a molecule to attract electrons to itself. Dipole-Dipole Forces 5

Like dissolves like Polar molecules are more likely to dissolve in a polar solvent, and nonpolar molecules are more likely to dissolve in a nonpolar solvent. Liquids molecules close together appreciable intermolecular forces liquids are almost incompressible molecules are in constant motion finite volume, but indefinite shape Viscosity The resistance of liquids to flow Increases with stronger intermolecular forces and decreases with increasing temperature. 10
Surface Tension Surface tension results from the net inward force experienced by the molecules on the surface of a liquid. Cohesive and adhesive forces Cohesive forces - between the liquid molecules Adhesive forces - between the liquid molecules and another substance Properties of liquids Viscosity the resistance of liquids to flow; the thickness Surface tension energy required to break through the surface or to disrupt a liquid drop and make the drop spread out like a film. Cohesive forces forces between liquid molecules Adhesive forces forces between liquid molecules and another substance Capillary action the rise of liquids up narrow tubes and other surfaces 11

The enthalpy of fusion of ethanol is 5.02 kj/mol and the enthalpy of vaporization is 38.56 kj/mol. The specific heats of solid and liquid ethanol are 0.97 J/gK and 2.3 J/gK, respectively. Critical Temperature: The highest temperature at which a distinct liquid phase can form Critical Pressure: Pressure required to bring about liquefaction at this critical temperature. Supercritical Fluid: Above this critical point, we have a supercritical fluid where the density is similar to a liquid and the viscosity is similar to a gas. Vapor Pressure 14
