Topics Covered:

• Intermolecular Forces (IMFs)

  • London Dispersion Forces (LDFs)

  • Dipole-Dipole Interactions

  • Hydrogen Bonding

• Strengths of IMFs

• Bonding vs Structure

• Polarizability

Testing Tips:

POLARIZABILITY is a really important term to know. Also, remember that solids > liquids > gases regarding bonds and IMF strengths.

Topics Covered:

• IMFs by Strength

  • Boiling Point

  • Vapor Pressure

  • Viscosity & Surface Tension

• IMFs and Solubility

• Capillary Motion

• Thin Layers Chromatography (TLC)

  • Mobile & Stationery Phase

  • Retention Factor

Testing Tips:

Know how to identify mobile and stationery phase (and in general how to setup/run a chromatography lab).
