Chemistry  6 Types of Intermolecular Forces Explained

AI Thread Summary
There are six types of intermolecular forces: Dipole-Dipole Interaction, Hydrogen Bonding, London Dispersion Forces, Ion-Dipole Interaction, Dipole-Induced Dipole Interaction, and Ion-Induced Dipole Interaction. While many learn about three main types in school, further research reveals additional interactions that are significant in chemistry. The discussion highlights the categorization of these forces, noting that dipole interactions include both dipole-dipole and ion-dipole, while induced dipole interactions encompass ion-induced and dipole-induced dipole interactions. Participants express interest in understanding these forces better and request more detailed explanations. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the complexity and breadth of intermolecular forces beyond basic education.

Homework Statement


I know that there are three types of Intermolecular forces but while searching on the internet I found that there are six intermolecular forces i.e. Dipole-Dipole Interaction, Hydrogen bond, London Dispersion, Ion-Dipole Interaction, Dipole-Induced Dipole Interaction and Ion-Induced dipole Interaction. So please help me here.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


From what I have learned from school there are three.

What are the three that you have learned in school? It's probably H-bonds, -dipole and london forces (I'm guessing)

With any subject, there is always more than what's taught in schools I guess because in my case, I had learn that there were 4. And while doing an assignment I came to realzie there were actually six.

If you read, you will find that under dipole interactions you will have the dipole-dipole and ion-dipole, under induced dipole, you'll have ion-induced dipole and dipole-induced-dipole.

If you want to know what these interactions are, post a reply.
 
Yeah you got them right. Please tell me more about these. Thanks
 
Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
