Intermolecular Forces

Investigating the attractions between molecules and their effect on boiling points.

Key Questions

  1. 1Why is hydrogen bonding significantly stronger than Van der Waals forces?
  2. 2How do intermolecular forces explain the surface tension of liquids?
  3. 3What evidence suggests that non-polar molecules still experience temporary attractions?
