Forces Between Molecules

Description

Forces between molecules help explain why matter behaves the way it does. These intermolecular attractions act between separate molecules, not within a single molecule. They are often much weaker than the bonds that hold atoms together inside a molecule, but they still affect many properties of liquids and solids.

Transcript

Le forze intermolecolari, che esistono fra le molecole, hanno origine da interazioni elettrostatiche fra cariche, cariche parziali e cariche temporanee. Tutte le molecole producono cariche temporanee. Per via della distribuzione variabile degli elettroni, una più elevata densità di elettroni in una regione della nuvola di elettroni si traduce in...
