Intermolecular attraction, forces responsible

The Van der Waal s Force give rise to intermolecular attractive forces between the molecules of gases, and are responsible for the deviation of the behaviour of real gases from the ideal gas laws. 

Intermolecular forces are responsible for the existence of several different phases of matter. A phase is a form of matter that is uniform throughout in both chemical composition and physical state. The phases of matter include the three common physical states, solid, liquid, and gas (or vapor), introduced in Section A. Many substances have more than one solid phase, with different arrangements of their atoms or molecules. For instance, carbon has several solid phases one is the hard, brilliantly transparent diamond we value and treasure and another is the soft, slippery, black graphite we use in common pencil lead. A condensed phase means simply a solid or liquid phase. The temperature at which a gas condenses to a liquid or a solid depends on the strength of the attractive forces between its molecules. 

In contrast, reaction of ligand 72 with 4,4 -biphenyldiboronic acid has been successful and diboronate 73 is obtained in yields of 33%. This complex acts as a receptor for the paraquat dication forming a 1 1 complex with an association constant of 320 in acetone. The intermolecular forces responsible for the complexation are ion-dipole stabilization between the dative N B dipoles and the two cationic centers in paraquat, attractive tz-tz interactions between... 

Of the different types of forces responsible for intermolecular attraction, the foremost are the London or dispersion forces that act between all atoms and account for virtually all of the molecular attraction or cohesion in all molecules except the very polar molecules (described later). Dispersion forces are short-range interactions, effective at about 4 A, and rapidly decrease with the sixth power of the distance between molecules. Therefore, the adhesive polymer molecule must be flexible enough to come within this range of interaction with the rigid adherent surface under the conditions of bond formation. 

In a molecular crystal, the lattice points are occupied by molecules, and the attractive forces between them are van der Waals forces and/or hydrogen bonding. An example of a molecular crystal is solid sulfur dioxide (SO2), in which the predominant attractive force is a dipole-dipole interaction. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is mainly responsible for maintaining the three-dimensional lattice of ice (see Figure 11.12). Other examples of molecular crystals are I2, P4, and Sg. 

Two chemically saturated particles, such as two molecules of methane or two atoms of argon, are subject to attractive forces as they approach one another. The intermolecular forces are electrical in origin since they are responsible for the phenomena of gas imperfection and liquefaction, they are often called van der Waals forces. The energy of vaporization of a liquid provides a convenient measure of the strength of these forces, since it is the energy required to pull the molecules from the liquid, where they are in proximity, and bring them into the gas where they are widely separated. The energy of vaporization is simply related to the heat of vaporization of the liquid at constant pressure ... 

Ans. Intermolecular attractive and repulsive forces. These are the same forces responsible for the like dissolves in like rule of solubility. The hydrophobic portions of each lipid layer are repulsed by water while the hydrophilic portions are attracted to water. The hydrophobic portions of the two lipid layers are attracted to each other. 

Dispersion interactions play a role of the attractive interaction between rare gas atoms and are also one of the important intermolecular interactions that govern the molecular organic world [93, 107]. Dispersion interactions are mostly responsible for the heats of sublimation of hydrocarbon molecules, make significant contributions to the solvent properties of polar and apolar neutral compounds [108, 109] and are also important for crystal packing of organic molecules [110] as well as for the stacking of nucleic acids in DNA [93, 111]. The world of dispersion interaction is rich (see [112] and references therein), despite the fact that it is a weaker form of intermolecular attractions. Dispersion forces as one of the two types of van der Waals force are also known as London forces, named after Fritz London [105, 106]. 

These results lead to fundamental questions about the nature of the intermolecular forces responsible for the complexation of the ferrocene guests. As stated before, the rather large binding constant measured between 8 (before oxidation) and host 9 " means that coulombic attraction is responsible only for a relatively small fraction of the stability of the complexes between the calixarene and the cationic guests and 2. We have postulated that these complexation phenomena constitute another example of apolar binding as defined by Diederich[19]. We have recently started calorimetric studies to measure the enthalpic and entropic changes associated with these complexation process. 

Solids can be divided into two categories crystalline and amorphous. Ice is a crystalline solid, which possesses rigid and long-range order its atoms, molecules, or ions occupy specific positions. The arrangement of such particles in a crystalline solid is such that the net attractive intermolecular forces are at their maximum. The forces responsible for...
