what is the nature of intermolecular forces
Answers
Answer:
Intermolecular Forces. Intermolecular Forces. Two factors determine whether a substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas: The kinetic energies of the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) that make up a substance. Kinetic energy tends to keep the particles moving apart.
Explanation:
Intermolecular force. Intermolecular forces (IMF) are the forces which mediate interaction between molecules, including forces of attraction or repulsion which act between molecules and other types of neighboring particles, e.g., atoms or ions.
Here's a closer look at these 3 intermolecular forces, with examples of each type.
London Dispersion Force
Dipole-Dipole Interaction
Ion-Dipole Interaction
There is different intermolecular forces for different states of matter.
Solids have the highest intermolecular force.
Liquids have less intermolecular force than solids.
Gases have the least intermolecular force.
