I. INTRODUCTION
Matter possesses different characteristics or properties because of the

arrangement of the particles (e.g. atoms, molecules, ions) in different substances. The
chief responsible for the arrangement of the particles is the forces of attraction that
acted on it. The attracted force of the particles depends on its strength.
In this module, you will learn about the types of intermolecular forces present
in different substances.

ENGAGE
TRY THIS AT HOME!
1.Get any transparent glass available in your home (plastic cups can be used as
well) and fill it with tap water.
2. Add a pinch of salt in the glass with water. Do not stir the solution.
(Note: Please be careful in handling the solution to avoid spillage.)
3. Observe and note what will happened to the salt in water.
Questions:
1. What happened to the salt (NaCl) as it was added to the water?
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
2. Why do you think the salt dissolved in water?

3. Does the bond of sodium chloride (NaCl) break? How does it happen?
_______________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________
4. Do you think there are forces present between the particles of water and salt?
________________________________________________________
Good work! You figured out that water can dissolve salt
because the particles of the two substances interact,
the positive part of the water molecules attracts the
negative chloride ions and the negative part of the
water molecules attracts the positive sodium ions that
resulted to loosening of bonds of sodium chloride
(NaCl).

Good thinking! Based from this activity we observed that

these liquids have different properties and it is affected by the
intermolecular forces of attraction present for each substance.
Let’s find out more about intermolecular forces and its type as
we go on in our discussion.
EXPLAIN
READ, WATCH AND EXPLAIN
Intermolecular forces are attractive forces that act between molecules or particles in
the solid or liquid states. Generally, these attractive forces are much weaker than
bonding forces.
8
When a solid melt, or a liquid boils, the particles move away from each other. As
they do, intermolecular forces of attraction are broken. The stronger the
intermolecular forces to be broken, the larger the amount of energy needed to
break them, hence, the higher the melting point for solid to liquid transformation,
and boiling point for liquid to gas transformation.
The different types of intermolecular forces are the following:
1. London Dispersion Forces – these forces of attraction result from temporary

dipole moments induced in ordinarily nonpolar molecules. These forces are
present between all types of molecules due to the movement of electrons. As
electrons move around the nucleus, an uneven distribution causes momentary
charge separations. Slightly positive sides of a molecule are attracted to the slightly
negative sides of the adjacent molecule. The extent to which a dipole moment
can be induced in a molecule is called its polarizability. Polarizability of the atom
or molecule refers to the ease with which the electron distribution can be distorted.
Generally, the larger the number of electrons and the larger or more diffused the
electron cloud in the atom or molecule, the greater its polarizability. Thus,
dispersion forces may be the weakest of intermolecular forces that can exist
between two molecules, but the larger the atoms present, the stronger the
dispersion forces. For example, F2, the lightest halogen, is a gas, Br2 is a liquid,
and the heavier I2, is a solid at room conditions. Further, the more atoms that make
up the molecules, the stronger are the dispersion forces. Methane, CH4, is
gaseous, but larger hydrocarbons like butane, C4H10 is liquid, and those with larger
number of carbon atoms, like the waxes, are solids at room temperature.
An Illustration of London Dispersion Forces using Helium atoms (2

electrons). Consider atoms of helium. The average distribution of electrons around
each nucleus is spherically symmetrical. The atoms are nonpolar and possess no
dipole moment.
9
• At a given instant in time, the distribution of electrons around an individual

atom, may not be perfectly symmetrical. Both electrons may be on one side
of the nucleus, as shown on the leftmost atom in the figure below.
• The atom would have an apparent dipole moment at that instant in time (i.e.
a transient dipole).
• A close neighboring atom, shown on the right, would be influenced by this
apparent dipole. The electrons of the neighboring atom would move away
from the negative region of the dipole. Due to electron repulsion, a temporary
dipole on one atom can induce a similar dipole on a neighboring atom.
• This will cause the neighboring atoms to be attracted to one another. This is
called the London dispersion force (or just dispersion force). It is significant
only when the atoms are close together.

2. Dipole-dipole forces are attractive forces between polar molecules

(molecules that possess dipole moments). In polar molecules the electrons are
unevenly distributed because some elements are more electronegative than
others. The partial negative side of one molecule is attracted to the partial
positive side of another molecule.
10
This type of force is stronger than the dispersion forces because polar molecules
have a permanent uneven distribution of electrons. The nature of attraction is
electrostatic and can be understood in terms of Coulomb’s law: The larger the
dipole moment, the stronger the attraction

3. Hydrogen bond is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between the
hydrogen atom in a polar bond, such as N‒H, O‒H, or F‒H, and an

electronegative O, N, or F atom. Hydrogen bonds between water molecules are
particularly strong.
The interaction is written as:

A ‒ H ••• B or A ‒ H ••• A
11
A and B represent O, N, or F; A ‒ H is one molecule or part of a molecule and

A or B is a part of another molecule; the dotted line represents the hydrogen
bond.
Examples of hydrogen bonding in water (H2O), ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen

fluoride (HF).

WATCH
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSRiywp9v9w
4. Ion-dipole is a kind of attractive force that occur between an ion and a polar
molecule. An ion is an atom or group of atoms that holds an electrical charge,
while a dipole refers to a molecule that possesses a delocalized positive and
negative charge. Ion-dipole forces, therefore, are the electrostatic interactions
between the fixed dipole in one molecule and an ion.
12
• Most commonly found in solutions. Especially important for solutions

of ionic compounds in polar liquids.
• A positive ion (cation) attracts the partially negative end of a neutral
polar molecule.
• A negative ion (anion) attracts the partially positive end of a neutral
polar molecule.
• Ion-dipole attractions become stronger as either the charge on the ion

increases, or as the magnitude of the dipole of the polar molecule increases.
Example: Salt and Water
When sodium chloride, NaCl, is added to water to form a solution, the

sodium and chlorine dissociate and form the Na+ cation and the Cl– anion.
13
The chloride ion is then attracted to the positive end of dipolar molecule and the
sodium ion is attracted to negative end of dipolar molecule. Because the
interaction is between a fully charged ion and a partially charged versus two
partially charged dipoles, ion-dipole interactions are the stronger compared to
IMFA or van der Waals’ forces.

its state and it has a different type. The arrangement and the motion of the molecules
or particles is affected by (1) of attraction. The London Dispersion Forces; it
is the (2) among the types. It is acting between (3) and (4)
where a (5) moments induced in ordinary (6) molecules.
Another type is (7) Forces, there is an attractive force between polar
molecules, wherein the partial (8) side of a molecule is attracted to a partial
(9) side of another molecule. Next, the (10) , the hydrogen atom
interacts with (11) or nitrogen or
(12) atom to form polar bond. Lastly is the Ion-Dipole Forces that shows
the interaction between the ion, whether (13) or (14) , and the polar
17
molecules. It is most common found in (15) . Note that these forces of
attraction have different strength.
V. VOCABULARY LIST
1. Dipole – refers to a molecule that possesses a delocalized positive and

negative charge.
2. Nonpolar molecules – all of the terminal atoms (or groups) are the same
3. Polar molecules – one or more terminal atoms differ from each other.
4. Polarizability – refers to the ease with which the electron distribution can
be distorted.
5. Instantaneous dipole –is created by chance for example electrons are
moving around helium or neon atom in symmetry but by chance
at any instance its electrons are moved at one place creating an
electropositive charge at one end and electronegative at another.
6. Induced dipole – refers to the dipole moment created in a nonpolar
compound due to the effect of an ion nearby.
7. Coulomb’s law – the larger the dipole moment, the stronger the attraction.
8. Permanent dipole – refers to the dipole moment that originally occurs in a
compound due to uneven electron distribution.
VI. KEY CONCEPT
Particles in matter are attracted from each other by intermolecular forces of

attraction, this is the reason why matter exist in a specific state and exhibit certain
characteristics and properties. The attracted forces of matter exist in four different
types.
• The strongest is the Ion-dipole forces, are attractive forces that occur between
an ion and a polar molecule.
18
• Next is the Hydrogen bond, it is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction
between the hydrogen atom in a polar bond, such as N‒H, O‒H, or F‒H, and an
electronegative O, N, or F atom.
• Another type of attracted forces is Dipole-dipole forces, are attractive forces
between polar molecules (molecules that possess dipole moments).
• The weakest is the London Dispersion Forces, these forces of attraction result
from temporary dipole moments induced in ordinarily nonpolar molecules.
