why is inner mitochondrial membrane impermeable to H+ ions??

Here's what I know:
the respiratory chain in a mitochondria uses energy derived from NADH/FADH2 to drive a proton gradient in the intermembrane space.
The inner membrane is relatively impermeable to H+ ions, so that is the electrochemical force that drives ATP-synthase
But the outer mitochondrial membrane is leaky and practically equal to cytoplasm....
I hope will clear your mind
