ION-DIPOLE FORCES
DIPOLE-DIPOLE FORCES
HYDROGEN BOND
A special type of dipole-dipole force arises between molecules that have an H-atom
bonded to a small, highly electronegative atom with lone pairs e.g. N, O, F
Self-check

Which of the following substances exhibits H bonding?

C2H6 CH3OH
Charge-induced dipole forces

Ion-induced dipole dipole-induced dipole


Ion-induced dipole forces
• result when an ion’s charge distorts the electron cloud of a nearby nonploar molecule.

In the early stages of the


binding of an oxygen
molecule to the Fe2+ ion in
hemoglobin, it is the ion-
induced dipole force that
brings the O2 towards the
Fe2+.
Dipole-induced dipole forces
• arise when a polar molecule distorts the electron cloud of a nearby
nonpolar molecule.

Ex. Paint thinners and Grease solvents


• caused by momentary oscillations of electron charge in atoms and
therefore, are present between all particles(atoms, ions, and molecules)
