Force and polarization

Two Molecules Interacting and Held Together by Dispersive Forces and Polar Forces from Permanent Dipoles... 

The term "hydrophilic force", literally meaning "love of water" force, was introduced as a complement to "hydrophobic force". Hydrophilic forces are equivalent to polar forces, and polar solvents that interact strongly with water are called hydrophilic solvents. 

Lipophilicity is a molecular property experimentally determined as the logarithm of the partition coefficient (log P) of a solute between two non-miscible solvent phases, typically n-octanol and water. An experimental log P is valid for only a single chemical species, while a mixture of chemical species is defined by a distribution, log D. Because log P is a ratio of two concentrations at saturation, it is essentially the net result of all intermolecular forces between a solute and the two phases into which it partitions (1) and is generally pH-dependent. According to Testa et al. (1) lipophilicity can be represented (Fig. 1) as the difference between the hydrophobicity, which accounts for hydrophobic interactions, and dispersion forces and polarity, which account for hydrogen bonds, orientation, and induction forces ... 

The intermolecular forces of adhesion and cohesion can be loosely classified into three categories quantum mechanical forces, pure electrostatic forces, and polarization forces. Quantum mechanical forces give rise both to covalent bonding and to the exchange interactions that balance tile attractive forces when matter is compressed to the point where outer electron orbits interpenetrate. Pure electrostatic interactions include Coulomb forces between charged ions, permanent dipoles, and quadrupoles. Polarization forces arise from the dipole moments induced in atoms and molecules by the electric fields of nearby charges and other permanent and induced dipoles. 

The wettability of a polymer film normally is determined by static contact angle measurements. The surface free energy (SE) of a polymer can be determined by wettability measurements with two different liquids. The dispersion force and polar contributions to SE, 7 d and 7 p respectively, are also calculated normally by using the Owens and Wendt, and Kaelble methods [146,147], The measurements of contact angles (CA) on a given solid surface is one of the most practical ways to obtain surface free energies. 

The above value for rutile (and probably iron oxide) includes polarization force of these surfaces on hydrocarbons [3]. Since both the dispersion force and polarization force depend on the polarizability of the hydrocarbon, these two terms should be additive. The value of the polarization force can be determined by measurements with polar molecules the field strength of the surface is indicated by the increase in interfacial interaction with dipole moment [3]. As there is no appreciable dipole effect on interfacial tensions between many polar organic substances and mercury, it appears that with mercury (and perhaps other metals without oxide surfaces) the values include no polarization term.

Adsorption occurs as soon as the membrane snrface is in contact with the solution (macromolecnlar), when solnte molecules adsorb on the membrane surface due to chemical and physical interactions, for example, hydrophobic interactions (dispersion forces) and polar interactions (dipole-dipole and induced dipole). The nature of the membrane material, the type of solute, the solute concentration, ioific strength, and pH are parameters that determine the extent of adsorption [11]. 

Explain your order of predicted boiling points on the basis of intermolecular forces and polarity. 

Weaker secondary bonds act between molecules. Thus, below — 182°C, methane is a solid, the covalent molecules being held in a solid lattice be weak secondary bonds. These weak forces are associated with interactions between dipoles. Three different types of interaction have been described by London, Debye and Keesom, known respectively as dispersion, induction and orientation forces see Table 1 and Dispersion forces and Polar forces. The three types of interaction are often referred to collectively as van der Waals forces, as indicated in Table 1. However, it is necessary to note that some authors use the term van der Waals to refer exclusively to dispersion forces, the other two types being referred to as polar forces . Table 2. (The term dispersive is sometimes used by francophone authors writing in English where dispersion would be correct.)... 

The results of most studies of adhesion and composites are interpreted in terms of the Adsorption theory of adhesion the Dispersion forces and Polar forces determine the interactions between two phases, that is, the matrix and filler. 

From the definitions of Wa and Wq, it can be seen that is a function of surface energies. If the structure of a material and the molecular potential energy-separation relationships are known, the surface energy can be calculated by evaluating the work required to separate to infinity the material either side of a chosen plane. For a material in which the dominant intermolecular forces are dispersion force interactions, the Lennard-Jones potential (see Dispersion forces and Polar forces) will apply, and the calculation is relatively simple. It gives work of cohesion on phase 1... 

The assumption is most valid for nonpolar gases, such as hydrogen and nitrogen, because the attractive forces involved are London forces, weak forces that have to do with the ebb and flow of the electron orbitals. However, if the gas molecules are polar, as in water and HCl, this assumption can become a problem, because the forces are stronger. (Turn to Chapter 6 for the scoop on London forces and polar things — all related to the attraction between molecules.)... 

The simplistic discussion above neglects the very important fact that surface energies are made up of contributions from both dispersion forces (roughly van der Waals forces) and polar...
