4.4. - Intermolecular Forces
Attractive forces exist between ALL molecules due to the nature of their matter!
The TYPE of attractive force present depends on the polarity of the molecules
interacting with each other:
London Dispersion
(Van der Waals Forces)
Dipole-Dipole
Hydrogen Bonding
Dipole-induced Dipole
Gaseous, non-polar molecules like N2, O2
and CO2 will dissolve slightly in water
Let’s talk about melting:
Ion-Induced Dipole
Allotropes of Carbon
Silicon Dioxide
