Interpretation:
- When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas whether intermolecular forces changes or not has to be analyzed and explained.
- The reason for a substance to undergo phase change has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
- Matter exists in three distinct physical forms – solid, liquid and gas. There are two types of interactions present in matter – intramolecular meaning, “within the molecule” and intermolecular meaning “between the molecules”.
- Intramolecular force refers to the type of bonding that holds the atoms or ions together to form a stable molecule. Intermolecular force refers to the type of interaction that exists between the so formed molecules by bonding.
- The nature and strength of the intermolecular forces varies in solids, liquids and gases. The classification of intermolecular force is summarized as follows –
Figure 1
There are three types of intermolecular forces - London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonding. These forces are collectively known as Van der Waals forces. London dispersion forces exist in non-polar covalent compounds. Dipole-dipole forces present in polar covalent compounds. Hydrogen bonding is formed in polar covalent compounds containing Hydrogen and other high electronegativity like Fluorine, Oxygen or Nitrogen. It is relatively the strongest one.

- The enthalpy of vaporization of water is larger than its enthalpy of fusion. Explain why.arrow_forwardLet Us Reflect The concepts of Intermolecular forces of attraction are important in determining boiling point of a substance such as how you need to increase the heat of water in a pot upon adding salt (such as when cooking). In not more than five sentences, what do you think are the other importance of studying the Intermolecular Forces of Attraction? How can we apply these concepts we have just discussed?

Why is the heat of fusion of aluminum so much smaller than the heat of vaporization? Aluminum vaporizes at higher temperatures. The forces broken when aluminum evaporates are weaker than the forces broken when it melts. More energy is required to separate the atoms of the liquid into the freely moving and widely separated atoms of the vapor/gas. b. What quantity of heat would be required to vaporize 5.84 g of aluminum at its normal boiling point? kJ c. What quantity of heat would be evolved if 8.74 g of liquid aluminum freezes at its normal freezing point? kJ d. What quantity of heat would be required to melt 0.160 mol of aluminum at its normal melting point? kJarrow_forward
- Define Types of intermolecular forces ?arrow_forwardConsider the difference between boiling water and boiling oil. Water boils at 100°C, while oil requires a much higher temperature. This difference is due to the intermolecular forces between the molecules. Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds, which are stronger than the Van der Waals forces in oil. As a result, more energy is needed to break the bonds in water, leading to its lower boiling point. Which statement best explains the effect of intermolecular forces on boiling points? A) Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher boiling points. B) All liquids boil at the same temperature regardless of intermolecular forces. C) Weaker intermolecular forces result in higher boiling points. D) Intermolecular forces have no effect on boiling points.arrow_forwardA 0.488 mol sample of liquid propanol (60.09 g/mol) is heated from 25.7°C to 329.2C. The boiling point of propanol is 206.6°C.
