all such forces are intermolecular forces.
The temperature at which intermolecular forces push the molecules apart
When a solid dissolves in a solvent, the intermolecular forces holding the molecules in the solid lattice break. The solvent molecules surround the solute molecules, causing them to separate and disperse evenly throughout the solvent. The solute molecules become completely surrounded by solvent molecules in a process called solvation.
The atoms and molecules in liquids move in a random pattern relative to one another instead of being in a solid form due to the intermolecular forces of attraction. The intermolecular forces are too weak to hold onto the molecules in a solid form.
A solid with weak intermolecular forces, such as those found in nonpolar molecules or small molecules, is likely to have the lowest melting point. These weak intermolecular forces are easily overcome by increasing temperature, causing the solid to melt.
all such forces are intermolecular forces.
The correct order is: gas < liquid < solid. This is because in the gas phase, molecules are far apart and have weak intermolecular forces, in the liquid phase, molecules are closer together with moderate intermolecular forces, and in the solid phase, molecules are tightly packed with strong intermolecular forces.
Yes, the intermolecular forces generally change as a substance transitions from solid to liquid to gas. In solid form, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces. In liquid form, these forces weaken to allow molecules to move more freely. In gas form, intermolecular forces are weakest as molecules are far apart and move independently.
No, when a molecular solid mixes with water, the covalent bonds within the molecules do not break. The solid may dissolve due to intermolecular interactions with water molecules, but the covalent bonds within the molecules remain intact.
In solid, the molecules r tightly packed by intermolecular forces, but in gas these forces r very loose.
Melting: Solid to liquid transition where energy is absorbed to break intermolecular forces. Sublimation: Solid to gas transition where energy is absorbed to overcome intermolecular forces without passing through the liquid state. Dissolution: Solid dissolving in a solvent where energy is absorbed to break intermolecular forces within the solid and between the solid and solvent molecules.
The temperature at which intermolecular forces push the molecules apart
The force of attraction is generally stronger in the molecules of a solid compared to a liquid. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed and have limited movement, allowing for stronger intermolecular forces to hold them together. In a liquid, the molecules have more freedom to move, resulting in weaker intermolecular forces.

In a solid, molecules are closely packed together with strong intermolecular forces, leading to a fixed shape and volume. In a gas, molecules are far apart with weak intermolecular forces, allowing them to move freely and fill the container they are in. Both phases have molecules, but differ in their spacing and behavior due to their respective intermolecular forces.
Molecules in a liquid move faster than in a solid because the intermolecular forces in a liquid are weaker, allowing molecules to move around more freely. In a solid, molecules are held tightly in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces.
