This episode recaps the five types of intermolecular forces, discusses factors influencing the strength of force and provides examples. It starts with the weakest IMF, London Dispersion Forces (2:05) and introduces polarizability (2:31). In order of increasing strength we recap dipole-induced dipole interaction (5:00), dipole-dipole interaction (6:55), hydrogen bonding (7:35) and ion-dipole interaction (8:38).
Question: (9:30) Which isomer of pentane has the higher boiling point - n-Pentane (C5H12) or neopentane (C(CH3)4)?
