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.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'
This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
