Intermolecular forces

Intermolecular forces

1. Dipole-dipole interaction

   • Are a type of dipole-dipole interactions that occur when partial charge form within a molecule because of the uneven distribution of electrons
   • between polar and polar molecules
   • example:

2. Hydrogen bonding

   • Hydrogen bonds are a stronger type of dipole-dipole interactions that occur only in molecules where hydrogen is covalently bonded to one of three elements: fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen
   • between hydrogen and either nitrogen, fluorine, or oxygen, polar and polar molecules
   • example:

3. London dispersion forces

   • London dispersion force is a temporary attractive force that occurs when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles
   • between non-polar and non-polar molecules
   • example:
