Intermolecular Forces

Today we will learn about Intermolecular Force of attraction between any particle.

Before starting this topic, first thing that you should that the Forces we talking about here are not the ionic or covalent force between any atom of molecules but are weak Intermolecular Forces.

There are three types of IF:
  • London Forces or Dispersion Forces
  • Dipole-Dipole Forces
  • Dipole-Induced Dipole Forces

London Forces or Dispersion Forces

We known that atoms and molecules form bond to get stable. But even when they get stable, they can exert some Forces on other particles (other atoms and molecules). The particles which are neutral can also possess a momentary charge and in results become a temporary dipole. This results in the disturbance in the neighbouring particles and similarly the also possess momentary dipole. This results in the attraction of both the particles and this force of attraction is called London Force (named after a scientist) or Dispersion Forces. They are inversely proportional to the distance between the particles (1/r6).

They are very weak forces and they act in between the distance of 350 pm (pico meter).

Dipole-Dipole Forces

When the particles with some dipole come in interaction, they exert some attraction force between each other. This is called Dipole-Dipoles Forces. 
This force is strongest among all the three Forces. 
Similar Phenomenon happens here, but the charges are pregenerated which is not the case with LF.
They are also inversely proportional to distance between particle.( 1/r6)
The total force attraction force acting between any dipole dipole body increases as there is also London Force between these particles.
Hydrogen Bonding is an example of this type of force. 

Dipole-Induced Dipole Forces

The force of attraction between a body with dipoles and a neutral body is called as Dipole Induced Dipole Forces. 
The particles with dipole induces a temporary pole in the neighbouring neutral particles and they possess a force of attraction between each other. 
This force is also inversely proportional to distance between the two particles. 
The resultant force is increased because of the LF between them.

Semiconductors and Communication System

This chapter can be divided into following categories:- Classification Types of Semi-Conductors p-n junction diode Biasing of Diode Rectifiers Special Diodes (Zener, Photodiode, LED and Solar Cell) Transistors Logic Gates Communication System In the next few posts I will be posting in the same manner ie. (in bullets form) for your convenience and I hope that helps you in completing your syllabus. Classification Materials can be classified on the basis of conductivity as Conductors, Insulators and Semi Conductors. The basic difference among all the three is the difference of energy in between the Conducting and the Valence band. This can be seen here. Note- The range of conductivity should be kept in mind. For Semi-Conductors the energy difference is not very large but not even very less. So by providing proper conditions they can show conductivity. Types of Semi-Conductors Further we can say that there are two other types of semi con...

Solid States of Matter

STATES OF MATTER We can classify matters into 3 types:- Solids  Liquids  Gas In this chapter, we will be discussing only Solids. SOLIDS In our daily life, we see many types of solid objects. Some of which can easily break and some of which are very hard. Some with a very shiny surface and some with no lustre at all. These are some of the physical features of a solid. They can be classified into two types on the basis of there crystal type:- Crystalline  Amorphous  Crystalline types are those whose structure is ordered in the entire Lattice. For Example, Diamond, Crystalline Glass etc. Amorphous are those whose structure is not ordered or ordered in a very small region. For Example, Graphite, Glass, etc. The Crystalline solids have a different unit constituent. The lattices formed by these units are called Bravais Lattices . There are basically 14 types of lattices. I have uploaded the structures from Wikipedia and no need t...

Apologies for late posts

Dear Friends, I am really sorry for the late posting of the posts and I feel that it might have somehow been a problem to all of you. Hence I promise you that I will be posting at least three topics revision notes on my blog every week. I wanted to do more but due to my own schedule I am unable to push it further. I have got high hopes from this blog and now being in college I can devote myself to this blog even more. Just to let you know, from now onwards this blog will mostly be a go to place for those students who are looking for some reliable resource from where they can get enough revision for there weekly tests or phase tests or any related tests of JEE/NEET. I was also a JEE aspirant but due to my lack of note making, I could not get into the IIT's. But nevertheless, I am now a student of DTU civil branch and I strongly recommend you all to make proper notes and go through them as this creates the difference between an IITian and the rest. But still, if due to some reaso...
