    Intermolecular Forces Worksheet


    Answers are on page 3 & 4. Do the problems on your own BEFORE looking at the answers.

    1. Predict the molecular shape of each of the following:

    a. H2S

    b. CCl4

    c. SO2

    d. BrF

    d. PCl5

    2. List all types of IMFs that would occur in each of the following (you should have a good
    enough understanding of electronegativities to answer all of these, except maybe SO2,
    without look up the electronegativity numbers).

    a. CH3CF3

    b. CCl4

    c. SO2

    d. BrF

    e. (CH3)3N

    f. PCl5

    3. H2S, O2 and CH3OH all have comparable molecular masses. List the dominant type of IMF
    for the pure substances, then rank the strength of each compound based on IMFs within the
    samples.
    (1 = strongest, 2 = in between, 3 = weakest).

    Substance IMF Relative Strength


    HBr
    O2
    CH3OH

    4. Circle all of the species below that can form a hydrogen bond in its pure form. Explain why
    the other species couldn't hydrogen bond.
    C2H6 CH3NH2 KCl CH3CH2CH2OH CH3OCH3

    5. Rank the following compounds from weakest intermolecular forces to strongest. Justify your
    answers.
    H2S I2 N2 H2O

    6. Rank the following from weakest intermolecular forces to strongest. Justify your answers.
    H2Se H2S H2Po H2Te

    Intermolecular Forces Worksheet Answers

    1. Predict the molecular shape of each of the following:

    a. H2S bent

    b. CCl4 tetrahedral

    c. SO2 bent (lone pair on S, two double bonds)

    d. BrF no shape

    d. PCl5 trigonal bipyramidal

    2. List all types of IMFs that would occur in each of the following (you should have a good
    enough understanding of electronegativities to answer all of these, except maybe SO2,
    without look up the electronegativity numbers).

    a. CH3CF3 dispersion, dipole-dipole

    b. CCl4 dispersion

    c. SO2 dispersion, dipole-dipole

    d. BrF dispersion, dipole-dipole

    e. (CH3)3N dispersion, dipole-dipole

    f. PCl5 dispersion

    3. H2S, O2 and CH3OH all have comparable molecular masses. List the dominant type of IMF
    for the pure substances, then rank the strength of each compound based on IMFs within the
    samples.
    (1 = strongest, 2 = in between, 3 = weakest).

    Substance IMF Relative Strength


    HBr dipole-dipole 2
    O2 dispersion 3
    CH3OH hydrogen bonding 1
    Chem128 Dr. Baxley

    4. Circle all of the species below that can form a hydrogen bond in its pure form. Explain why
    the other species couldn't hydrogen bond.
    C2H6 CH3NH2 KCl CH3CH2CH2OH CH3OCH3
    C2H6 does not have O, N or F
    KCl is ionic and does not have any hydrogens
    In CH3OCH3 the H’s are not directly bonded to the O

    5. Rank the following compounds from weakest intermolecular forces to strongest. Justify your
    answers.
    H2S I2 N2 H2O
    N2 < I2 < H2S < H2O
    N2 and I2 are nonpolar, so they only have dispersion forces; I2 has stronger forces because it
    is larger
    H2S has dipole-dipole, so it is stronger than I2
    H2O has hydrogen bonding, so it is stronger than H2S

    6. Rank the following from weakest intermolecular forces to strongest. Justify your answers.
    H2Se H2S H2Po H2Te

    H2S < H2Se < H2Te < H2Po


    These compounds are all the same shape. Although H2S is slightly more polar than the
    others, it is not very polar so it has very weak dipole-dipole forces. Therefore, the difference
    in dispersion forces are more important for these compounds. H2Po is the largest and,
    therefore, has the strongest dispersion forces.

    This prediction agrees with experimental data. See figure 12.14 comparing boiling points of
    these compounds.
