Three Phases of Water
Notice that the densities of ice and liquid water are much larger than the
density of steam.
Notice that the densities and molar volumes of ice and liquid water are much closer to each other than to steam.
Notice that the density of ice is larger than the
density of liquid water.
This is not the norm, but is vital to the development
of life as we know it. 11.2

• Fixed = keeps shape when placed in a container
• Indefinite = takes the shape of the container

Solids
• Some solids have their particles arranged in an orderly geometric pattern; we call these crystalline solids.
– Salt and diamonds
• Other solids have particles that do not show a regular
geometric pattern over a long range; we call these amorphous solids.
– Plastic and glass
11.2
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Liquids
• The particles in a liquid are closely packed, but they have some ability to move around.
• The close packing results in liquids being incompressible.
• But the ability of the particles to move allows liquids to take the shape of their container and to flow. However, they don’t have enough freedom to escape or expand to fill the container.
11.2
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Gases
• In the gas state, the particles have complete freedom of motion and are not held together.
• The particles are constantly flying around, bumping into each other and the container
• There is a large amount of space between the particles, compared to the size of the particles.
– Therefore, the molar volume of the gas state of a material is much
larger than the molar volume of the solid or liquid states.

11.3 Intermolecular Forces: The Forces That Hold Condensed States Together
• Temporary polarity in the molecules due to unequal electron distribution leads to
attractions called dispersion forces.
• Permanent polarity in the molecules due to their structure leads to attractive forces
called dipole–dipole attractions.
• An especially strong dipole–dipole
attraction results when H is attached to an extremely electronegative atom. These
are called hydrogen bonds.
Kinds of Attractive Forces
11.3
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Dispersion Forces
• Fluctuations in the electron distribution in atoms and molecules result in a temporary dipole.
– Region with excess electron density has partial (–) charge
– Region with depleted electron density has partial (+) charge
• The attractive forces caused by these temporary dipoles are called dispersion forces.
– Aka London Forces
• All molecules and atoms will have them.
• As a temporary dipole is established in one
molecule, it induces a dipole in all the surrounding molecules.

Size of the Induced Dipole
• The magnitude of the induced dipole depends on several factors.
• 1. Polarizability of the electrons
– Volume of the electron cloud
– Larger molar mass = more electrons = larger electron cloud = increased
polarizability = stronger attractions
• 2. Shape of the molecule
– More surface-to-surface contact = larger induced dipole = stronger attraction

Effect of Molecular Size on Size of Dispersion Force
The Noble gases are all nonpolar atomic elements.
The stronger the attractive forces
between the molecules, the higher the boiling
point will be.

Example 11.1 Dipole–Dipole Forces
A molecule has dipole–dipole forces if it is polar. To determine if a molecule is polar, (1) determine if the molecule contains polar bonds and (2) determine if the polar bonds add together to form a net dipole moment (Section 9.6).
(a) CO2
(1) Since the electronegativity of carbon is 2.5 and that of oxygen is 3.5
(Figure 9.8), CO2 has polar bonds.
(2) The geometry of CO2 is linear.
Consequently, the dipoles of the polar bonds cancel, so the molecule is not polar and
does not have dipole–dipole forces.
Solution
Which of these molecules have dipole–dipole forces?
a. CO
2b. CH
2CI
2c. CH

Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 3rd Edition Nivaldo J. Tro
Example 11.1 Dipole–Dipole Forces
(c) CH4
(1) Since the electronegativity of C is 2.5 and that of hydrogen is 2.1, the C—H bonds are nearly nonpolar.
(2) In addition, since the geometry of the molecule is tetrahedral, any slight polarities that the bonds might have will cancel. CH4 is therefore nonpolar and
does not have dipole–dipole forces.
For Practice 11.1
Which molecules have dipole–dipole forces?
a. CI4 b. CH3Cl c. HCI Continued
(b) CH2Cl2
(1) The electronegativity of C is 2.5, that of H is 2.1, and that of Cl is 3.0.
Consequently, CH2Cl2 has two polar bonds (C—Cl) and two bonds that are nearly nonpolar (C—H).
(2) The geometry of CH2Cl2 is tetrahedral. Since the C—Cl bonds and the C—H bonds are different, their dipoles do not cancel but sum to a net dipole moment. The molecule is polar and
has dipole–dipole forces.

Hydrogen Bonding
• When a very electronegative atom is bonded to hydrogen, it strongly pulls the bonding
electrons toward it.

Example 11.2 Hydrogen Bonding
One of these compounds is a liquid at room temperature. Which one and why?
Solution
The three compounds have similar molar masses:
Formaldehyde 30.03 g/mol
Fluoromethane 34.03 g/mol
Hydrogen peroxide 34.02 g/mol
So the strengths of their dispersion forces are similar. All three compounds are also polar, so they have dipole–dipole forces. Hydrogen peroxide, however, is the only one of these compounds that also contains H bonded directly to F, O, or N. Therefore, it also has hydrogen bonding and is likely to have the highest boiling point of the three. Since the example stated that only one of the compounds was a liquid, you can safely assume that hydrogen peroxide is the liquid. Note that, although fluoromethane contains both H and F, H is not directly bonded to F, so fluoromethane does not have hydrogen bonding as an intermolecular force. Similarly, formaldehyde contains both H and O, but H is not directly bonded to O, so formaldehyde does not have hydrogen bonding either.

Capillary Action
• Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow up a thin tube against the influence of gravity.
– The narrower the tube, the higher the liquid rises.
• Capillary action is the result of two forces working in conjunction, the cohesive and adhesive forces.
– Cohesive forces hold the liquid molecules together.
– Adhesive forces attract the outer liquid molecules to the tube’s surface.

Then fit the points to a line and determine the slope of the line. The slope of the best-fitting line is –3773 K. Since the slope equals –ΔHvap/R, we find the heat of vaporization as follows:

Supercritical Fluid
• As a liquid is heated in a sealed container, more vapor collects, causing the pressure inside the container to rise, the density of the vapor to increase, and the density of the liquid to decrease.
• At some temperature, the meniscus between the liquid and vapor disappears, and the states commingle to form a
supercritical fluid.
• Supercritical fluids have properties of both gas and liquid states.
11.5
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
• The temperature required to produce a supercritical fluid is called the critical temperature.
• The pressure at the critical temperature is called the critical pressure.
• At the critical temperature or higher temperatures, the gas cannot be condensed to a liquid, no matter how high the pressure gets.

Calculate the volume of the unit cell (in cm) by converting the edge length to cm and cubing the edge length. (Use centimeters because you will want to report the density in units of g/cm3.)
Finally, calculate the density by dividing the mass of the unit cell by the volume of the unit cell.

The units of the answer are correct. The magnitude of the answer is reasonable because the density is greater than 1 g/cm3 (as you would expect for metals), but still not too high (because aluminum is a low-density metal).

• The second layer atoms can sit directly over the atoms in the first layer—called an AA pattern.
• Or the second layer can sit over the holes
in the first layer—called an AB pattern.

11.12 Crystalline Solids: The Fundamental Types
• Crystalline solids are classified by the kinds of particles found.
• Some of the categories are subclassified by the kinds of attractive forces holding the particles together.

11.13 Classifying Crystalline Solids
• The structures of metals and covalent network solids result in every atom’s orbitals being
shared by the entire structure.
• For large numbers of atoms, this results in a large number of molecular orbitals that have approximately the same energy; we call this an energy band.
