Unit 10: Part 1: Polarity and Intermolecular Forces Name: ________________________ Block: ____________ Unit 10: Part 1: Polarity and Intermolecular Forces Intermolecular Forces of Attraction and Phase Changes Intramolecular Bonding: attractive forces that occur between atoms WITHIN a molecule; these are true chemical bonds, of two types: 1. ionic bond = electrostatic attraction between metal cation and non-metal anion 2. covalent bond = electron pair sharing between non-metal and non-metal Intermolecular Forces of Attraction: attractive forces that occur BETWEEN molecules 4 types of Intermolecular Forces of attraction: o Dipole - Dipole: strongest type of intermolecular forces of attraction between 2 polar molecules with dipole moments o Hydrogen Bonding: strong intermolecular forces of attraction between hydrogen and highly electronegative oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine of 2 different polar molecules *both molecules must have dipole-dipole forces* o London Dispersion Forces: weak intermolecular forces of attraction between NON- polar molecules; larger mass molecules have higher London Dispersion forces. o Van der Waal's Forces: weak, temporary intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules, assume present in all molecules - polar/non-polar What is an Intermolecular Force? Force between molecules (weak force) Differs from an intramolecular force (strong force) which forms Covalent Bonds Intramolecular Intermolecular Forces Forces Covalent Bonds H-Bonds Dipole-dipole London Dispersion 400 kcal 12-16 kcal 2-0.5 kcal Less than 1 kcal Notice: covalent bonds are almost 40 times the strength What creates an Intermolecular force? • Unequal distribution of electrons • Created as a result of differences in: • Electronegativity 1 Phase change = when energy enters or leaves a compound to cause changes from solid, liquid, or gas phases; substance overcomes weak intermolecular forces of attraction 6 phase changes: 1. melting = solid - liquid 4. condensation = gas - liquid 2. freezing = liquid - solid 5. deposition = gas - solid 3. evaporation = liquid - gas 6. sublimation = solid - gas Normal melting point = temperature where substance is in equilibrium between solid and liquid phases at standard pressure of 1 atm. Normal boiling point = temperature where substance is in equilibrium between liquid and gas phases at standard pressure of 1 atm. In order for a substance to move between the states of matter; for example, to turn from a solid into a liquid, which is called fusion, or from a liquid to a gas (vaporization), energy must be gained or lost. (As we move from solid to gas it is gained and from gas to a solid it is lost. Why? Molar Heat of Vaporization requires more energy to change phase from liquid to gas phase. Gas molecules have high kinetic energy and distance between gas molecules is very high, requiring more energy to overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction.) Changes in the states of matter are often shown on phase diagrams, and you will probably see at least one of two different types of phase diagrams. Let’s start with the phase diagram for water. The phase diagram for water is a graph of pressure versus temperature. Each of the lines on the graph represents an equilibrium position, at which the substance is present in two states at once. For example, anywhere along the line that separates ice and water, melting and freezing are occurring simultaneously. The intersection of all three lines is known as the triple point (represented by a dot and a T on the figure). At this point, all three phases of matter are in equilibrium with each other. Point X represents the critical point, and at the critical point and beyond, the substance is forever in the vapor phase. This diagram allows us to explain strange phenomena, such as why water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes, for example. At higher altitudes, the air pressure is lower, and this means that water can 2 reach the boiling point at a lower temperature. Interestingly enough, water would boil at room temperature if the pressure was low enough! Example What happens to water when the pressure remains constant at 1 atm but the temperature changes from - 10ºC to 75ºC? Explanation Looking at the phase change diagram for water and following the dashed line at 1 atm, you can see that water would begin as a solid (ice) at 0ºC and begin melting. So from 10º C to 75º C water would be in a liquid phase until it reaches 100ºC. The second type of phase change graph you might see on the SAT II Chemistry exam is called a heating curve. This is a graph of the change in temperature of a substance as energy is added in the form of heat. The pressure of the system is assumed to be held constant, at normal pressure (1 atm). As you can see from the graph below, at normal pressure water freezes at 0ºC and boils at 100ºC. The plateaus on this diagram represent the points where water is being converted from one phase to another; at these stages the temperature remains constant since all the heat energy added is being used to break the attractions between the water molecules. 3 Part 2: Solutions Vocabulary Solution - a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single physical state Solvent‐ substance that does the dissolving Solute‐ substance that is dissolved Soluble‐ when a substance is able to dissolve in another substance Insoluble‐ when a substance cannot dissolve in another substance Alloy‐ solution containing two or more metals Miscible‐ when two liquids can dissolve in one another in any amount Immiscible‐ when two liquids do not mix together Aqueous solution‐ a solution where the solvent is water Concentration‐ a solution that contains a large amount of solute Dilute‐ a solution that contains a little solute Saturated‐ a solution that contains a maximum amount of solute Unsaturated‐ a solution that contains below the maximum amount of solute Supersaturated‐ a solution that contains above the maximum amount of solvent Solubility‐ describes the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature The rate at which a solution is formed is affected by: Surface area (particle size)‐ More surface area, smaller particles dissolves FASTER Temperature‐ Increase temperature will increase the dissolving rate Agitation Example stirring, shaking, mixing will increase the dissolving rate 4 Measuring Solution Concentrations Molarity Molarity (M)- the number of moles of solute dissolved in each liter of solution M = mol L Calculate the molarity of a solution formed by mixing 10.0 g of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with enough water to make 100.0 mL of solution. 1.

  • Inter and Intra Molecular Forces
    Properties of Solutions Why do things Melt or boil? Made by Schweitzer 10-25-04 What factors affect whether a substance will be a solid, liquid or a gas? Simple…Attraction The more attraction there are between the atoms the more likely they will be a liquid or a solid. If there isn’t any attraction then they will be a gas. Think of these attractions like glue. The more glue the harder it is to separate. Therefore higher boiling points and more likely to be a liquid or even solid at room temperature. Types of Solids Type of solid is determined by type of bond Ionic: metal= Non-metal Covalent: non-metal = non-metal Metallic: metals Network covalent: only C, Si, Ge Types of Bonds Ionic Very strong bond. Results in a solid with very high melting points. High Attractions are due to + and negative ions bundled together in a lattice crystal.

    Oakland Schools Chemistry Resource Unit Intermolecular Forces Brook R. Kirouac David A. Consiglio, Jr. Southfield‐Lathrup High School Southfield Public Schools Bonding: Intermolecular Forces Content Statements: C2.2: Chemical Potential Energy Potential energy is stored whenever work must be done to change the distance between two objects. The attraction between the two objects may be gravitational, electrostatic, magnetic, or strong force. Chemical potential energy is the result of electrostatic attractions between atoms. C3.3: Heating Impacts Heating increases the kinetic (translational, rotational, and vibrational) energy of the atoms composing elements and the molecules or ions composing compounds. As the kinetic (translational) energy of the atoms, molecules, or ions increases, the temperature of the matter increases. Heating a sample of a crystalline solid increases the kinetic (vibrational) energy of the atoms, molecules, or ions. When the kinetic (vibrational) energy becomes great enough, the crystalline structure breaks down, and the solid melts. C4.3: Properties of Substances Differences in the physical and chemical properties of substances are explained by the arrangement of the atoms, ions, or molecules of the substances and by the strength of the forces of attraction between the atoms, ions, or molecules. C4.4: Molecular Polarity The forces between molecules depend on the net polarity of the molecule as determined by shape of the molecule and the polarity of the bonds.

  • Developing Computational Tools for Organic and Medicinal Chemistry
    From Desktop to Benchtop – Developing Computational Tools for Organic and Medicinal Chemistry Mihai Burai-Patrascu A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Department of Chemistry McGill University Montréal, Québec, Canada April 2020 © Mihai Burai-Patrascu, 2020 Abstract Organic and medicinal chemistry research contribute extensively to the discovery, optimization, and ton-scale production of numerous small molecules, such as novel drugs that treat life-threatening diseases. This research can be put in the context of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which has claimed many lives, shut down the entire planet, and made humanity reliant on chemistry (amongst which organic and medicinal chemistry play a key role) and biochemistry research to come up with innovative solutions in a short amount of time. A major hurdle in organic and medicinal chemistry research is the production of these complex life-saving small molecules and the tedious and time-consuming syntheses they require. To offset this, these two fields of chemistry make use of a different branch of chemistry, namely computational chemistry. Over the years, computational chemistry has become a trusted partner of experimental chemistry and has significantly contributed to the discovery of novel drugs. However, computational chemistry often requires expertise in both chemistry and coding, the latter of which most experimentalists do not possess. As such, in this thesis I seek to develop and interface computational tools with organic and medicinal chemistry to improve the molecular discovery rate. The majority of the tools that we have developed have been implemented in our drug discovery platform FORECASTER and in our asymmetric catalyst design platform VIRTUAL CHEMIST, to enable chemists to use powerful software developed by chemists for chemists.

  • The Molecular Dynamic Finite Element Method (MDFEM)
    Copyright © 2010 Tech Science Press CMC, vol.19, no.1, pp.57-104, 2010 The Molecular Dynamic Finite Element Method (MDFEM) Lutz Nasdala1, Andreas Kempe1 and Raimund Rolfes1 Abstract: In order to understand the underlying mechanisms of inelastic mate- rial behavior and nonlinear surface interactions, which can be observed on macro- scale as damping, softening, fracture, delamination, frictional contact etc., it is necessary to examine the molecular scale. Force fields can be applied to simulate the rearrangement of chemical and physical bonds. However, a simulation of the atomic interactions is very costly so that classical molecular dynamics (MD) is re- stricted to structures containing a low number of atoms such as carbon nanotubes. The objective of this paper is to show how MD simulations can be integrated into the finite element method (FEM) which is used to simulate engineering structures such as an aircraft panel or a vehicle chassis. A new type of finite element is re- quired for force fields that include multi-body potentials. These elements take into account not only bond stretch but also bending, torsion and inversion without using rotational degrees of freedom. Since natural lengths and angles are implemented as intrinsic material parameters, the developed molecular dynamic finite element method (MDFEM) starts with a conformational analysis. By means of carbon nan- otubes and elastomeric material it is demonstrated that this pre-step is needed to find an equilibrium configuration before the structure can be deformed in a suc- ceeding loading step. Keywords: Force fields, molecular dynamic finite element method (MDFEM), carbon nanotubes, elastomeric material, particle mechanics, continuum mechanics.

  • Intermolecular Forces
    Chapter 14 – Intermolecular Forces 14.1 Types of Intermolecular Forces What is the difference between a bond and an intermolecular force? • Bonds: between atoms. This is the force that holds atoms together within a molecule aka intramolecular force. Intermolecular Force: Polar and Nonpolar covalent bonds are Between MOLECULES examples of bonds. These bonds are ~10X stronger than intermolecular forces. • Intermolecular Force (IMF): between molecules. This is the force that holds molecules together. It is a Bond: Between form of “stickiness” between molecules. ATOMS Examples of intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces (LDF), dipole- dipole forces (DDF), and hydrogen bridging forces (HBF). When we use the word “force” we are referring to intermolecular forces. o London Dispersion Forces (LDF): Sometimes called induced dipole forces or just dispersion forces. Temporary dipole attractions between nonpolar molecules that form due to shifting electrons. Electrons can concentrate in one region, which results in a temporary dipole that disappears when the electrons shift again. So a temporary partially negative charge, - and partially positive charge, +, forms. This is the only type of IMF between nonpolar molecules. Bigger molecules or atoms usually have stronger dispersion forces. (More electrons) 1) Two nonpolar molecules with no attractive forces between them. + - 2) As electrons shift within one of the molecules, a temporary dipole may appear. 3) An adjacent molecule will be attracted to the molecule with the + - + - temporary dipole and a new dipole within the second molecule will be induced. This creates the London dispersion force. 4) The electrons move back and the temporary dipoles disappear. This makes the LDF a weak force, it is only temporary.
