How They Relate to VESPR Theory

Intermolecular Forces – forces that

hold molecules together.
Molecules will stick together based
on what kind of internal bonding
they have.
Intermolecular forces are not true
bonds, but they are strong enough
to keep molecules from separating
easily.
3 Main Types of
Intermolecular Forces
Dipole-Dipole
Hydrogen Bonding
London Dispersion Forces
Dipole-Dipole Forces – a dipole is
formed when one end of a bond is
positive while the other end is
negative.
The negative end will attract the + end
of another molecule (& vice versa)
creating a big intermolecular force.
They are short range forces. ex: HCl
with HCl, NH3 with NH3
Hydrogen “Bonding” – occurs when
hydrogen is bonded to an
electronegative element. (H with
N, O, F)
Itis a form of dipole-dipole force that is
particularly strong because the bond
between H & N, O, F is so polar.
Hydrogen bonds are often drawn as
dotted lines. EX H2O
The more electronegative the element,
the stronger the hydrogen bonding.
London Dispersion Forces – weak
intermolecular forces that result
from electrons moving around in
molecules.
Allmolecules have London Forces. They
are stronger/more predominant in larger
molecules. (more electrons))

turnout (by %) for elections?
Italy at 92.5%!

USA is usually around 40% but

early estimates have voter
turnout around 60% for this
election!
