Properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on intermolecular forces

This section contains 5 topics with 15 practice problems and 40 flashcards. Each topic includes comprehensive written notes, worked examples with detailed solutions, and interactive lessons for hands-on practice.

Topics Covered

• Types of Intermolecular Forces — Understand London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding, and predict how they affect physical properties.
• Properties of Solids, Liquids, and Gases — Understand the properties of solids, liquids, and gases, including phase changes, vapor pressure, and the relationship to intermolecular forces.
• Solutions and Solubility — Understand solution formation, "like dissolves like" principle, solubility factors, and colligative properties.
• Ideal Gas Law and Gas Properties — Master the ideal gas law, gas law calculations, partial pressures, kinetic molecular theory, and real gas behavior.
• Mixtures and Separation Techniques — Understand types of mixtures, chromatography, distillation, and techniques for separating components based on physical properties.
