HW 10-4

HW 10-4
• 1A) Rank IMF’s according to relative strength

Hydrogen Bonding > Dipole- Dipole > LDF

• 1B) What factor can significantly change the relative strength of LDF?
SIZE OF ELECTRON CLOUD;
LARGER CLOUD = STRONG LDF
• 1C) The greater the strength of the intermolecular forces between
molecules the HIGHER the boiling point.
HW 10-4, #2 – Strongest IMF – flow chart

Is there a hydrogen YES; ANS = HYDROGEN BOND

bond? (H and HFON)

NO

Do BOTH molecules
YES; ANS = DIPOLE-DIPOLE
have a net dipole?

NO; ANS = LDF

 HW 10-4, #2 – Strongest IMF
• A) H2 and H2O B) NH3 and H2O

LDF; H2 is nonpolar (no FON to H-bond)

HYDROGEN BONDING ; BOTH HAVE HFON

HW 10-4, #2 – Strongest IMF
• C) BH2F and BH2F
HW 10-4, #2 – Strongest IMF
• C) BH2F and BH2F
DIPOLE- DIPOLE
HW 10-4, #2 – Strongest IMF
D) BF3 and BF3

LDF; BF3 is nonpolar (no H to H-bond);

symmetric trigonal planar structure
 HW 10-4, #2 – Strongest IMF
LDF; Both are nonpolar
• E) NH3 and CH3OH F) He and CH4

HYDROGEN BONDING ; BOTH HAVE HFON

HW 10-4, #3 – Explain Observations in terms
of IMF’s
• A) I2 has a higher boiling point than Br2.

• Strongest type of IMF between I2 molecules: LDF; nonpolar

• Strongest type of IMF between Br2 molecules: LDF; nonpolar

Both are LDF; however strength of LDF depends
• Explanation:
on size of e- cloud. I2 is farther down family;
extra electron levels = bigger atom and
stronger LDF
HW 10-4, #3 – Explain Observations in terms
of IMF’s
• B) H2O has a higher boiling point than H2S.

• Strongest type of IMF between H2O molecules:

• Strongest type of IMF between H2S molecules:
• Explanation:
HW 10-4, #3 – Explain Observations in terms
of IMF’s
• B) H2O has a higher boiling point than H2S.

• Strongest type of IMF between H2O molecules: Hydrogen bonding;

• Strongest type of IMF between H2S molecules: Dipole-dipole
• Explanation: Hydrogen bonding is stronger than
dipole-dipole H-O is more polar than H-S bond
HW 10-4, #4 – Rank from highest to lowest
bp based on IMF’s
Strongest type of IMF between H2 molecules: LDF; nonpolar

• Strongest type of IMF between HF molecules: Hydrogen bonding;

• Strongest type of IMF between HCl molecules: Dipole-dipole

HF > HCl > H2
