INTERMOLECULAR FORCES :
- Intermolecular forces play and important role in chemistry.
- They are attractions and repulsions felt between atoms and molecules.
- They are different depending on the chemical bond.
- When you break a chemical bond, you obtain a new material that reacts differently with other chemicals.
- When an intermolecular attraction is broken, the chemical formula and chemical reactivity don't change.
- Intermolecular forces can determine how quickly a chemical reaction occurs , or if it can even occur.
- These forces determine whether a material will be a liquid, a solid, or a gas at given temperatures.
