London dispersion forces
All molecules & atoms
Strength: London dispersion forces
Weakest
Description: London dispersion forces
Temporary attraction that results when electrons in two atoms occupy positions that make the atoms temporary dipoles. Comes from random movement of electrons.
Dipole-Dipole forces
Polar molecules
Strength: Dipole-Dipole forces
Stronger than LDF
Description: Dipole-Dipole forces
Attractive forces between the positive and negative ends of polar molecules
Hydrogen bonding
Molecules with hydrogen atoms bonded to F, N, O
Strength: Hydrogen bonding
Strongest
Description: Hydrogen bonding
Attractive force between hydrogen
Ion-Dipole forces
Ionic compounds
Strength: Ion-Dipole forces
Stronger as charges increase
Description: Ion-Dipole forces
Electrostatic attraction between ions and neutral atoms with dipoles. It's how ionic compounds dissolve in water
