Just echoes from intermediate science, intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction that exist between molecules in a compound. These forces cause and shape compound to exist in different states ...

The topic of intermolecular forces presents a persistent challenge for general chemistry students. This study explores the use of electrostatic potential maps (EPMs) as a representational tool to ...

Experimental evidence of long-range attractive forces between cellular proteins has been obtained by researchers in France more than 50 years after the idea was first proposed. The forces are mediated ...

Intermolecular bonds are found between molecules. They are also known as Van der Waals forces, and there are several types to consider. London dispersion forces are the weakest type of intermolecular ...

Hydrogen, ammonia, methane and pure water are also simple molecules. All have strong covalent bonds between their atoms, but much weaker intermolecular forces between molecules. When one of these ...
