Examples of intermolecular in the following topics:
-
- It occurs because of intermolecular attractive forces between the liquid and solid surrounding surfaces.
- With some pairs of materials, such as mercury and glass (see ), the intermolecular forces within the liquid exceed those between the solid and the liquid, so a convex meniscus forms, and capillary action works in reverse.
-
- But the heat added does not change the temperature; that heat energy is instead used to break intermolecular bonds and convert ice into water.
- At the boiling point, temperature no longer rises with heat added because the energy is once again being used to break intermolecular bonds.
-
- For molecules of a liquid to evaporate, they must be located near the surface, be moving in the proper direction, and have sufficient kinetic energy to overcome liquid-phase intermolecular forces.
-
- Additionally, intermolecular forces can greatly influence friction when two materials are put into contact.
-
- This represents the dimensionless heat capacity at constant volume; it is generally a function of temperature due to intermolecular forces.
-
- For the molecules to evaporate, they must be located near the surface, be moving in the proper direction, and have sufficient kinetic energy to overcome liquid-phase intermolecular forces.
