    Study Notes

    1. The fundamental difference between states of matter is the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction.
    2. Physical properties like boiling points, melting points, viscosity, surface tension, and capillary action reflect intermolecular forces.
    3. Weakest to strongest forces: dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole forces.
    4. Hydrogen bonding arises from the high electronegativity of nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.
    5. Ion-dipole interactions are found in solutions of ions.
    6. Phase diagrams show melting, boiling, and sublimation points at different pressures.
    7. Water has a high critical temperature and pressure due to strong van der Waals forces between water molecules.
    8. Liquid crystals have traits of both solids and liquids.
    9. Nematic liquid crystals are only ordered in one dimension, while smectic liquid crystals are ordered in two dimensions.
    10. Cholesteryic liquid crystals have nematic-like crystals layered at angles to each other.
