    Worksheet: Intermolecular Forces: Molecule Polar or Non?

    Uploaded by

    Maffy Avellana
    This document provides a worksheet on intermolecular forces. It contains questions about identifying IMFs in molecules based on their structure, ranking IMF strengths between substances, and ordering compounds by relative boiling points based on IMF interactions. Key points covered include dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, and hydrogen bonding as the dominant IMFs in different molecules. Examples include ranking the IMF strength in H2S, O2 and CH3OH based on their polarities and abilities to form different non-covalent bond types.

    Worksheet: Intermolecular Forces

    1. Draw Lewis structures for these molecules. Use  symbols to indicate bond dipoles. Predict whether
    there is an overall molecular dipole.
    a. H2S bent; polar d. BrF linear; polar
    b. CCl4 tetrahedral; non polar e. PCl5 trigonal bipyramidal; non-polar
    c. SO2 bent; polar

    2. Complete the table:


    IMF (check all)
    Molecule Polar or Non? LDF
    Dipole-
    H-bond
    dipole
    CH3CF3 polar x x
    (2-carbon backbone)

    CCl4 non x

    SO2 polar x x

    BrF polar x x

    CH3CH2NH2 polar x x x
    (C-C-N backbone)

    H2O polar x x x

    PCl5 non x

    3. H2S, O2 and CH3OH all have comparable molecular masses. List the dominant type of IMF for the
    pure substances, then rank the strength of each compound based on IMFs within the samples
    (1 = strongest, 2 = in between, 3 = weakest)

    Substance Dominant IMF Relative strength


    H2S Dipole 2

    O2 LDF 3

    CH3OH H bond 1
    4. Circle all of the species below that can form a hydrogen bond. Explain why the other species can’t
    hydrogen bond.

    C2H6 CH3NH2 KCl CH3CH3CH2OH


    CH3OCH3

    C2H6 – non polar therefore only feels LDF


    KCl – ionic (some would say super polar); no H-F, H-O, or H-N bonds
    CH3OCH3 – CO group is polar, but no H is attached to the O

    5. Rank the following compounds in order of increasing strength of intermolecular forces (weakest to strongest).
    Explain your answers.
    H2S I2 N2 H2O

    Order: N2 < I2 < H2S < H2O

    N2 and I2 are both nonpolar, so they only have London dispersion forces; I2 has stronger forces
    because it is larger and has more electrons.
    H2S has dipole-dipole, so it is stronger than I2.
    H2O has hydrogen bonding, so it is stronger than H2S.

    6. Rank the following from weakest intermolecular forces to strongest. Explain your answers.
    H2Se H2S H2Po H2Te

    Order: H2S < H2Se < H2Te < H2Po

    These compounds are all the same shape, and are all non-polar. Therefore, the difference in London
    dispersion forces are more important for these compounds. Smallest H2S = least dispersion forces,
    largest = H2Po = strongest dispersion forces.

    7. Rank the following in order of increasing boiling point (lowest to highest). Explain your answer.
    CH3CH2CH3 CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3
    propane heptane pentane

    Order: propane < pentane < heptane

    All are non-polar. Heptane is largest therefore has strongest LDF.
