What state of matter is represented by these particles? Solids
In order to melt this solid the forces of attraction between these particles must be overcome.
The forces between these liquid particles are weaker now since the particles are further apart
If the substance is heated further the liquid can turn into a gas
If the substance is cooled the gas will turn back into a liquid
and then into a solid
the energy required to overcome these forces of attraction determine the substance’s melting point.
the more energy required, the higher the melting point.
Types of Intermolecular Forces Between Molecules
London Dispersion Forces – very weak attractive forces between all molecules
nonpolar Types of Intermolecular Forces Between Molecules London Dispersion Forces – only important between non-polar molecules
polar Types of Intermolecular Forces Between Molecules Dipole – Dipole Forces – Stronger attractive force between polar molecules
Types of Intermolecular Forces Between Molecules Hydrogen Bonds – Stronger attractive force between polar molecules with O, F, N and H
