Intermolecular Forces

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Intermolecular forces (IMFs) include London dispersion, dipole–dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding. They are weaker than covalent or ionic bonds but strongly affect physical properties like boiling point, melting point, and solubility. For instance, hydrogen bonding in water leads to its high boiling point and unique density behavior. Understanding IMFs is key in predicting solubility trends, mixture behaviors, and biochemical interactions.
