What are intermolecular forces?

Back

Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction or repulsion between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions).

What conditions do real gases behave most like ideal gases?

Back

Real gases behave most like ideal gases at high temperatures and low pressures.

What is the relationship between average kinetic energy and temperature?

Back

The average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

Front

Define London dispersion forces.

Back

London dispersion forces are weak intermolecular forces arising from temporary dipoles in molecules.

Front

What is dipole-dipole interaction?

Back

Dipole-dipole interaction is an attractive force between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.
