Intermolecular Forces (IMFs)
Students will identify and compare different types of intermolecular forces and their impact on physical properties.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between intramolecular bonds and intermolecular forces.
- Predict how the type and strength of IMFs affect a substance's boiling point and viscosity.
- Analyze the role of hydrogen bonding in the unique properties of water.
