van der Waals forces of attraction
The liquid state is caused by intermolecular forces.
as inter molecular forces increase the evaporation point also increases as more heat is required to break the bonds
Intermolecular forces are weak in gases.
No. They are inter molecular forces acting between two different molecules.
Hydrogen bonding, dipoles, and London dispersion forces.
No,they are two seperate inter molecular forces.
Intra-molecular bonding refers to the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule, such as covalent bonds or ionic bonds. Inter-molecular interactions are forces between molecules, like hydrogen bonding or van der Waals forces, which affect the interactions between different molecules in a substance.
They are named after Johannes Diderik van der Waals who was the first to postulate about inter molecular forces
Evaporation occur when intermolecular forces weakened.
Because Argon exists as diatomic Ag2 molecules, with relatively weak inter-mocular forces (Van-der-Waals forces) between the molecules. Melting Argon only requires that these inter-olecular forces are overcome, which does not requires much energy as the molecules are small - so Argon melts at -189 degrees celcius - so is a gas at R.T.P Silicon on the other hand exists in a macro-molecular form, and all the atoms are covalently bonded to each other in a giant molecular lattice. To melt silicon, covalent bonds must be broken, which requires a great deal of energy, and hence silicon only melts at 1414 degrees celcius
Van der Waals forces APEX
Hydrogen bonding, which is the strongest of the intermolecular forces.
