Review
We know how to draw Lewis structures for simple
molecules and polyatomic ions.
We also know how to predict the 3-D geometry of these
molecules and ions, if we apply the VSEPR Theory.
Electronegativity (EN) is an atom's tendency to attract
electrons in chemical bonds.
EN increases to the right and up on the periodic table,
excluding the noble gases.
Bond Polarity
When two nonmetal atoms bond, they share electrons.
They may or may not share electrons evenly.
Consider the following molecules:
F2
HF
Bond Polarity
H vs. F H F
EN = 2.2 EN = 4.0
The EN of H is 2.2.
The EN of F is 4.0.
In F2, both atoms pull with equal strength on the bonding
e-.
The e- are shared evenly between them.
In HF, the F atom pulls harder than the H atom.
The e- are drawn more toward the F atom.
F F F H
Bond Polarity
F F F H
EN is same for both EN is much higher for F
atoms. than for H.
e- density is spread evenly e- density is drawn toward
around molecule. F side.
Highest e- density occurs F atom acquires partial
between atoms. negative charge.
Bond is nonpolar. H atom acquires partial
positive charge.
Bond is polar.
Bond Polarity
In general, a covalent bond is:
polar if it occurs between two different atoms.
nonpolar if it occurs between two identical atoms.
Dipole Moments
Dipole Moment - a measure of the polarity of a bond.
Is often represented by a special arrow.
H H
HCH H C Cl
H H
“Like Dissolves Like”
Polar molecules mix with each other.
Nonpolar molecules mix with each other.
Polar and nonpolar molecules do not easily mix.
Amphipathic Molecules
Amphipathic - has a hydrophobic region and a
hydrophilic region.
Hydrophobic - “water-fearing”
Nonpolar.
Hydrophilic - “water-loving”
Polar or charged.
Hydrophilic head
Hydrophobic tails
Amphipathic Molecules
Intermolecular Forces
Intermolecular force - a force between two molecules
that does not result from chemical bonding.
Dipole-dipole interaction.
Hydrogen bonding.
London force.
Dipole-Dipole Interactions
Dipole - polar molecule.
Like magnets, except poles are + and - instead of N and S.
Polar molecules generally have higher melting and
boiling points than similar nonpolar molecules.
EXAMPLE: O2 (nonpolar) boils at -183ºC.
EXAMPLE: NO (polar) boils at -152ºC.
NO has a higher boiling point due to its polarity.
Still far below the boiling point of any ionic cmpd.
Dipole-Dipole Interactions
Hydrogen Bonding
Hydrogen bond - a stronger form of dipole-dipole
interaction.
Occurs in molecules that have H atoms bonded to O, N, or F
atoms.
The small size of the H atom allows these molecules to
get closer together.
Closer together = stronger forces.
EXAMPLE: H2O has a boiling point of 100ºC.
EXAMPLE: H2S has a boiling point of -60ºC.
The b.p. of H2O is higher b/c of hydrogen bonding.

London Force (Dispersion)
London force - attraction between temporary dipoles.
e- move randomly around molecules.
Nonpolar molecules become temporarily polar.
Allows for very weak attractions between nonpolar
molecules.
Named for Fritz London.
London Forces
London Forces
The more e- a molecule has, the greater its London forces
are.
Large molecules tend to have higher melting/boiling
points than small molecules.
London forces apply to all molecules.
