![]() We are talking about a permanent dipole being attracted toĪnother permanent dipole. People are talking about when they say dipole-dipole forces. The partially positive end of another acetaldehyde. And so what's going to happen if it's next to another acetaldehyde? Well, the partially negativeĮnd of one acetaldehyde is going to be attracted to And so you would expectĪ partial negative charge at that end and a partial And I'll put this little cross here at the more positive end. Towards the more negative end, so it might look something like this, pointing towards the more negative end. It'll look something like this, and I'm just going to approximate it. And so net-net, your whole molecule is going to have a pretty ![]() In fact, they might add to it a little bit because of the molecule's asymmetry. And all of the other dipole moments for all of the other bonds aren't going to cancel this large one out. Significant dipole moment just on this double bond. So right over here, thisĬarbon-oxygen double bond, you're going to have a pretty And even more important, it's a good bit moreĮlectronegative than carbon. You have some character here that's quite electronegative. So asymmetric molecules are good suspects for having a higher dipole moment. Now what about acetaldehyde? Well, acetaldehyde, there'sĪ few giveaways here. You will get a little bit of one, but they, for the most part, cancel out. These arrows that I'm drawing, if you were to take all of these arrows that I'm drawing and net them together, you're not going to get much If that is looking unfamiliar to you, I encourage you to review Moments on each of the bonds that might look something like this. When we look at propane here on the left, carbon is a little bit moreĮlectronegative than hydrogen but not a lot more electronegative. Of the individual bonds, and the dipole momentsĪre all proportional to the differences in electronegativity. ![]() Moments are just the vector sum of all of the dipole moments So when you look atīoth of these molecules, which one would you think hasĪ stronger permanent dipole? Or another way of thinking about it is which one has a larger dipole moment? Remember, molecular dipole Now we're going to talkĪbout permanent dipoles. In the video on London dispersion forces, we talked about a temporary dipole inducing a dipole inĪ neighboring molecule and then them beingĪttracted to each other. Talk about in this video is dipole-dipole forces. Imagine, is other things are at play on top of the Such a higher boiling point? Why does it take more energy for the molecules in liquid acetaldehyde to be able to break free of each other to overcome their intermolecular forces? Well, the answer, you might So what makes the difference? Why does acetaldehyde have The boiling point of propane is negative 42.1 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point of acetaldehyde is 20.1 degrees Celsius. So you might expect them to have near identical boiling points, but it turns out that And when we look at these two molecules, they have near identical molar masses. Of an electron cloud it has, which is related to its molar mass. And we said that you're going to have more of those London dispersion forces the more polarizable your molecule is, which is related to how large To the temporarily negative end of another and vice versa, and that whole phenomenon can domino. And then the positive end,Įven temporarily positive end, of one could be attracted That can induce dipoles in a neighboring molecule. Random dipoles forming in one molecule, and then ![]() Now, in a previous video, we talked about London dispersion forces, which you can view as And so when we're thinking about which might have a higher boiling point, we really just need to think about which one would have higher Molecules could break free and enter into a gaseous state. Need to put into the system in order for the intermolecularįorces between the molecules to be overcome so that You have a bunch of molecules, let's say, in a liquid state, the boiling point is going to be dependent on how much energy you All right, well, in previous videos, when we talked about boiling points and why they might be different, we talked about intermolecular forces. You see in front of you, which of these, you think, would have a higher boiling point, a sample of pure propane or a sample of pure acetaldehyde? Pause this video, and think about that. Their molar masses for you, and you see that they have These two molecules here, propane on the left andĪcetaldehyde here on the right.
