Intermolecular Forces
Exploring the attractions between molecules and how they dictate states of matter.
Key Questions
- 1Why is water a liquid at room temperature while oxygen is a gas?
- 2How do intermolecular forces influence the surface tension and viscosity of a liquid?
- 3What evidence do we have that nonpolar molecules still attract one another?
