Lesson 3.6: Intermolecular Forces

Learning Goals:

By the end of this lesson, I will be able to:

1. Predict the nature of a bond (e.g., non-polar covalent, polar covalent, ionic), using electronegativity values of atoms [AI]

2. Define the various intermolecular forces

• Dipole dipole

• Hydrogen Bonding

• London Forces

• Explain their role in determining the state of an atom/molecule

*The learning goals descriptions are taken and reworded/simplified from Ontario Curriculum booklet. Codes inside the brackets refer to the sections of Ontario Curriculum for Science Course.

Success Criteria:

I can

1. Predict the nature of a bond (e.g., non-polar covalent, polar covalent, ionic), using electronegativity values of atoms.

2. Define the various intermolecular forces including:

   • Dipole dipole

   • Hydrogen Bonding

   • London Forces

3. I can explain the role of intermolecular forces in determining the state of an atom/molecule.
