Intermolecular Forces, Polarity, Molecular Motion, Intermolecular Forces, Molecular Motion, Physical Change | High School
In the November 2014
issue, students explore the different attractive foreces between pairs
of molecules by dragging the "star" image. In the accompanying
activity, students investigate different types of intermolecular forces
(London dispersion and dipole-dipole). In the analysis that follows the
investigation, they relate IMFs (including hydrogen bonding) to physical
properties (boiling point and solubility).
