How do intermolecular forces affect the physical properties of substances?
Accepted Answer
Intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, and dipole-dipole interactions, influence properties like melting point, boiling point, and solubility. Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher melting and boiling points, while weaker forces lead to lower points. Understanding these forces is vital in material science and pharmaceuticals.
