Polarity is key in determining relative boiling point as it causes increased intermolecular forces, thereby raising the boiling point.
32.
The entropy of mixing provides information about constitutive differences of intermolecular forces or specific molecular effects in the materials.
33.
The intermolecular forces between the sheets are relatively weak Van der Waals forces, giving graphite its soft and brittle characteristics.
34.
Sampling in contact mode relies upon intermolecular forces between the tip and surface as depicted by Van der Waals force.
35.
Comparing measured vapor pressures to predicted values from Raoult's law provides information about the true relative strength of intermolecular forces.
36.
Intermolecular forces are repulsive at short range and attractive at long range ( for example, see the Lennard-Jones potential ).
37.
In practice, a polymer will often be " absorbed " or condense on the wall due to attractive intermolecular forces.
38.
This is the dimensionless heat capacity at constant volume, which is generally a function of temperature due to intermolecular forces.
39.
The interaction of these intermolecular forces varies within a substance which determines many of the physical properties unique to each gas.
40.
The ideal gas model tends to fail at lower temperatures or higher pressures, when intermolecular forces and molecular size become important.
