Forces of attraction limit the motion of particles most in a solid. A solid that forms and separates from a liquid mixture is a precipitate.
The forces are referred to as intermolecular forces, a substances tendency for its molecules to attract to eachother. The stronger these forces are, the more likely a substance will find itself to be solid at room temperature. The reason for this is that the attraction to its own molecules is great enough that the individual particles kinetic energies are not enough to break the intermolecular force. If the IMF is weak, the substance is more likely to be a liquid or even a gas because the attraction to its own molecules is not enough to overcome the particles kinetic energies. In addition the larger a substances chemical structure is, the more surface area available for a molecule to interact and thus the IMFs are stronger, Examples of substances with strong IMFs: Water, NaCl, ethanol, amines Examples of substances with weak IMFs: aliphatic hydrocarbons ( propane ), acetone, ether
An attraction or force between particles that causes them to combine.
== == In chemistry - An attraction or force between particles that causes them to combine. Viper1 == ==
P-particles (All matter is made up of particles)I-identical (All particles in one substance are identical)S-spacing (There is different spacing between particles of different substances)A-attraction (Particles have a certain attraction to one another depending on the state)M-movement (Particles are in constant motion)
A force attraction exist between a protons and a neutron
Solids have a strong force of attraction between its particles, which is why they have a fixed shape and volume. Liquids have a weaker force of attraction compared to solids, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container. Gases have very weak forces of attraction between particles, which is why they can expand to fill the space of their container.
The attraction or repulsion of an electric force is called electrostatic force. This force occurs between charged particles and can be either attractive or repulsive depending on the charges of the particles involved.
The force that pulls particles together is called the electromagnetic force. This force is responsible for the attraction between particles with opposite electric charges and the repulsion between particles with like charges.
Electrostatic force of attraction
Because the force of attraction among the molecules are less, moreover vanderwall force of attraction is also weak.
The weak force is the force of attraction between atoms.
The strong force. The weak force. The electro-magnetic force. The gravitational force.
