A Molecular Comparison of A Molecular Comparison of Liquids and SolidsLiquids and Solids
The fundamental difference between states of matter is the distance between particles.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
States of MatterBecause in the solid and liquid states particles are closer together, we refer to them as condensed phases.
IntermolecularForces

The States of Matter
• The state a substance is in at a particular temperature and pressure depends on two antagonistic entities:
– the kinetic energy of the particles;
– the strength of the attractions between the particles.

Intermolecular ForcesIntermolecular Forces
The attractions between molecules are not nearly as strong as the intramolecular attractions that hold compounds together.
IntermolecularForces

Intermolecular Forces
They are, however, strong enough to control physical properties such as boiling and melting points, vapor pressures, and viscosities.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Intermolecular Forces
These intermolecular forces as a group are referred to as van der Waals forces.
• Dipole-dipole interactions• Hydrogen bonding• London dispersion forces
IntermolecularForces

Ion-Dipole Interactions
• Ion-dipole interactions (a fourth type of force), are important in solutions of ions.
• The strength of these forces are what make it possible for ionic substances to dissolve in polar solvents.
IntermolecularForces

Dipole-Dipole Interactions
• Molecules that have permanent dipoles are attracted to each other.– The positive end of one is
attracted to the negative end of the other and vice-versa.
– These forces are only important when the molecules are close to each other.
IntermolecularForces

Dipole-Dipole Interactions
The more polar the molecule, the higher is its boiling point.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
London Dispersion Forces
While the electrons in the 1s orbital of helium would repel each other (and, therefore, tend to stay far away from each other), it does happen that they occasionally wind up on the same side of the atom.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
London Dispersion Forces
At that instant, then, the helium atom is polar, with an excess of electrons on the left side and a shortage on the right side.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
London Dispersion Forces
Another helium nearby, then, would have a dipole induced in it, as the electrons on the left side of helium atom 2 repel the electrons in the cloud on helium atom 1.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
London Dispersion Forces
London dispersion forces, or dispersion forces, are attractions between an instantaneous dipole and an induced dipole.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
London Dispersion Forces
• These forces are present in all molecules, whether they are polar or nonpolar.
• The tendency of an electron cloud to distort in this way is called polarizability.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Factors Affecting London Forces
• The shape of the molecule affects the strength of dispersion forces: long, skinny molecules (like n-pentane tend to have stronger dispersion forces than short, fat ones (like neopentane).
• This is due to the increased surface area in n-pentane.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Factors Affecting London Forces
• The strength of dispersion forces tends to increase with increased molecular weight.
• Larger atoms have larger electron clouds which are easier to polarize.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Which Have a Greater Effect?Dipole-Dipole Interactions or Dispersion Forces
• If two molecules are of comparable size and shape, dipole-dipole interactions will likely the dominating force.
• If one molecule is much larger than another, dispersion forces will likely determine its physical properties.
IntermolecularForces

CH3I, are 3.9 D and 1.62 D, respectively.

How Do We Explain This?
• The nonpolar series (SnH4 to CH4) follow the expected trend.
• The polar series follows the trend from H2Te through H2S, but water is quite an anomaly.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Hydrogen Bonding
• The dipole-dipole interactions experienced when H is bonded to N, O, or F are unusually strong.
• We call these interactions hydrogen bonds.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Hydrogen Bonding
• Hydrogen bonding arises in part from the high electronegativity of nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.
Also, when hydrogen is bonded to one of those very electronegative elements, the hydrogen nucleus is exposed.
IntermolecularForces
Practice1. In which of the following substances is hydrogen
bonding likely to play an important role in determining physical properties:
methane (CH4), hydrazine (H2NNH2), methyl fluoride (CH3F), or
hydrogen sulfide (H2S)?
2. In which of the following substances is significant hydrogen bonding possible:
methylene chloride (CH2Cl2), phosphine (PH3), hydrogen peroxide
(HOOH), or acetone (CH3COCH3)?

Some Properties of LiquidsSome Properties of LiquidsThe strength of the attractions between particles can greatly affect the properties of a substance or solution.
With increasing IMF….
•Higher Viscosity
•Higher Surface Tension

Viscosity• Resistance of a liquid
to flow is called viscosity.
• It is related to the ease with which molecules can move past each other.
• Viscosity increases with stronger intermolecular forces and decreases with higher temperature.

Energy Changes Associated with Changes of State
The heat of fusion is the energy required to change a solid at its melting point to a liquid.
IntermolecularForces

Energy Changes Associated with Changes of State
The heat of vaporization is defined as the energy required to change a liquid at its boiling point to a gas.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Energy Changes Associated with Changes of State
• The heat added to the system at the melting and boiling points goes into pulling the molecules farther apart from each other.
• The temperature of the substance does not rise during a phase change.
IntermolecularForces
Practice1. Calculate the enthalpy change upon converting
1.00 mol of ice at –25 °C to water vapor (steam) at 125 °C under a constant pressure of 1 atm. The specific heats of ice, water, and steam are 2.03 J/g-K, 4.18 J/g-K, and 1.84 J/g-K, respectively. For H2O, ΔHfus = 6.01 kJ/mol and ΔHvap = 40.67 kJ/mol.
2. What is the enthalpy change during the process in which 100.0 g of water at 50.0 °C is cooled to ice at –30.0 °C ?

Vapor Pressure
• At any temperature some molecules in a liquid have enough energy to escape.
• As the temperature rises, the fraction of molecules that have enough energy to escape increases.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Vapor Pressure
As more molecules escape the liquid, the pressure they exert increases.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Vapor Pressure
The liquid and vapor reach a state of dynamic equilibrium: liquid molecules evaporate and vapor molecules condense at the same rate.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Vapor Pressure• The boiling point of a
liquid is the temperature at which it’s vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
• The normal boiling point is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is 760 torr.
* Estimate the boiling point of diethyl ether under an external pressure of 0.80 atm.* At what external pressure will ethanol have a boiling point of 60 °C?

• The circled line is the liquid-vapor interface.• It starts at the triple point (T), the point at
which all three states are in equilibrium.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Phase Diagrams
It ends at the critical point (C); above this critical temperature and critical pressure the liquid and vapor are indistinguishable from each other.
IntermolecularForces

Phase Diagrams
Each point along this line is the boiling point of the substance at that pressure.

Phase Diagrams
• The circled line in the diagram below is the interface between liquid and solid.
• The melting point at each pressure can be found along this line.
IntermolecularForces

Phase Diagrams• Below the triple point the substance cannot
exist in the liquid state.• Along the circled line the solid and gas
phases are in equilibrium; the sublimation point at each pressure is along this line.
IntermolecularForces

Phase Diagram of Water
• Note the high critical temperature and critical pressure.– These are due to the
strong van der Waals forces between water molecules.
IntermolecularForces
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Phase Diagram of Water
• The slope of the solid-liquid line is negative.– This means that as the
pressure is increased at a temperature just below the melting point, water goes from a solid to a liquid.

Metallic Solids
• Metals are not covalently bonded, but the attractions between atoms are too strong to be van der Waals forces.
• In metals valence electrons are delocalized throughout the solid.
IntermolecularForces
Alloys
• Alloys contain more than one element and have the characteristic properties of metals.
• Solid Solution alloys are homogeneous mixtures.
• Heterogeneous alloys: The components are not dispersed uniformly (e.g., pearlite steel has two phases: almost pure Fe and cementite, Fe3C).
• Pure metals and alloys have different physical properties.
• An alloy of gold and copper is used in jewelry (the alloy is harder than the relatively soft pure 24 karat gold).
• 14 karat gold is an alloy containing 58% gold.

Metal Alloys-Solid SolutionsSubstance has mixture of
element and metallic properties.
1.Substitutional Alloy: some metal atoms replaced by others of similar size. Electronegativities usually are similar. The atoms must have similar atomic radii. The elements must have similar bonding characteristics.

2.Interstitial Alloy: Interstices (holes) in closest packed metal structure are occupied by small atoms. Solute atoms occupy interstices “small holes” between solvent atoms. One element (usually a nonmetal) must have a significantly smaller radius than the other (in order to fit into the interstitial site).
steel = iron + carbon
3.Both types: Alloy steels contain a mix of substitutional (Cr, Mo) and interstitial (Carbon) alloys.

Alloys vs. Pure Metal
• The alloy is much harder, stronger, and less ductile than the pure metal (increased bonding between nonmetal and metal).
An example is steel (contains up to 3% carbon).
mild steels (<0.2% carbon) - useful for chains, nails, etc.
medium steels (0.2-0.6% carbon) - useful for girders, rails, etc.
high-carbon steels (0.6-1.5% carbon) - used in cutlery, tools, springs.
Other elements may also be added to make alloy steels.
Addition of V and Cr increases the strength of the steel and improves its resistance to stress and corrosion.
The most important iron alloy is stainless steel. It contains C, Cr (from ferrochrome, FeCr2), and Ni.

The electron-sea model is a qualitative interpretation of band theory (molecular-orbital model for metals).•Band (Molecular Orbital) Model: Electrons assumed to travel around metal crystal in MOs formed from valence atomic orbitals of metal atoms.•Conduction Bands: closely spaced empty molecular orbitals allow conductivity of heat and electricity.

Molecular Orbital Theory
Recall that atomic orbitals mix to give rise to molecular orbitals.
IntermolecularForces
Molecular-Orbital Model for Metals
• Delocalized bonding requires the atomic orbitals on one atom to interact with atomic orbitals on neighboring atoms.
• Example: Graphite electrons are delocalized over a whole plane, while benzene molecules have electrons delocalized over a ring.
• Recall that the number of molecular orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals. Each orbital can hold two electrons.
• In metals there are a very large number of orbitals.• As the number of orbitals increases, their energy spacing
decreases and they band together.• The available electrons do not completely fill the band of
orbitals.

Molecular-Orbital Model for Metals
• Therefore, electrons can be promoted to unoccupied energy bands.
• Because the energy differences between orbitals are small the promotion of electrons requires little energy.
• As we move across the transition metal series, the antibonding band starts becoming filled.
• Therefore, the first half of the transition metal series has only bonding-bonding interactions and the second half has bonding–antibonding interactions.
• We expect the metals in the middle of the transition metal series (group 6B) to have the highest melting points.
• The energy gap between bands is called the band gap.

Formation of Bands
APSI 2014 PWISTA.com
When atoms come together to form a compound, their atom orbital energies mix to form molecular orbital energies. As more atoms begin to mix and more molecular orbitals are formed, it is expected that many of these energy levels will start to be very close to, or even completely degenerate, in energy. These energy levels are then said to form bands of energy remember each orbital only holds two electrons.

Types of MaterialsRather than having molecular orbitals separated by an energy gap, these substances have energy bands.
The gap between bands determines whether a substance is a metal, a semiconductor, or an insulator.
IntermolecularForces
Energy bands in metals, semiconductors, and insulators.
Metals are characterized by the highest-energy electrons occupying a partially filled band. Semiconductors and insulators have an energy gap that separates the completely filled band (shaded in blue) and the empty band (unshaded), known as the band gap and represented by the symbol Eg. The filled band is called the valence band (VB), and the empty band is called the conduction band (CB). Semiconductors have a smaller band gap than insulators.

Metals
• Valence electrons are in a partially-filled band.
• There is virtually no energy needed for an electron to go from the lower, occupied part of the band to the higher, unoccupied part.
• This is how a metal conducts electricity.
IntermolecularForcesPresented By, Mark
Langella, APSI Chemistry 2014 , PWISTA .com
Insulators
• The energy band gap in insulating materials is generally greater than ~350 kJ/mol.
• They are not conductive.

SemiconductorsSemiconductors have a gap between the valence band and conduction band of ~50-300 kJ/mol.
IntermolecularForces
An intrinsic semiconductor is a semiconductor in its pure state. For every electron that jumps into the conduction band, the
missing electron will generate a hole that can move freely in the valence band. The number of holes will equal the number of
electrons that have jumped. The higher the temp more electrons into conduction band.

germanium and graphite (carbon), all of which have 4 valence electrons, are semiconductors.

Doping
By introducing very small amounts of impurities that have more valence electrons (n-Type) or fewer (p-Type) valence electrons, one can increase or decrease the conductivity of a semiconductor.
IntermolecularForces
The addition of controlled small amounts of impurities (doping) to a semiconductor changes the electronic properties of the material.
•Left: A pure, intrinsic semiconductor has a filled valence band and an empty conduction band (ideally). •Middle: The addition of a dopant atom that has more valence electrons than the host atom adds electrons to the conduction band (i.e., phosphorus doped into silicon). The resulting material is an n-type semiconductor. •Right: The addition of a dopant atom that has fewer valence electrons than the host atom leads to fewer electrons in the valence band or more holes in the valence band (i.e., aluminum doped into silicon). The resulting material is a p-type semiconductor.
