Intermolecular Forces
• Hydrogen bonding– Acceptor/donor
• Dipole/dipole• Dipole/induced dipole• Induced dipole/induced dipole– Also called London dispersion forces

General Principles
• If molecules are about the same mass– H-bonding > Dipole-dipole > Induced dipole
• Induced dipole is weakest interaction, but as surface area increases, cumulative effect can overcome stronger IMF
• Strategy for predicting relative boiling points
Solubility
• “Like dissolves like”
• Based on IMF
Miscibility and Density• Miscibility spectrum• Density– Organics (0.7 g/mL)– Aqueous (1.0
g/mL)– Halogenated (1.3
g.mL)
