Study Notes
Intermolecular Forces
- London dispersion forces are responsible for the interaction between two nonpolar molecules.
Comparative Strength of Intermolecular Forces
- Hydrogen bonding is stronger than London dispersion forces.
Significance of Intermolecular Forces in States of Matter
- Intermolecular forces are most significant in solids, followed by liquids, and least significant in gases.
Unique Properties of Water
- Hydrogen bonding is responsible for the unique properties of water, such as high surface tension and boiling point.
