Intermolecular Forces and Properties

This topic examines the forces that act between molecules, influencing the physical properties of substances.

You will study different types of intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding. These forces affect boiling points, melting points, viscosity, and surface tension.

Understanding intermolecular forces helps explain why substances have different states of matter and unique behaviors.
