Intermolecular Potential Energy

Mr. Andersen explains intermolecular potential energy, focusing on the forces between molecules such as dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, and dispersion forces. He distinguishes between intermolecular and intramolecular forces, using DNA and water as examples. The video also covers the impact of hydrogen bonds on boiling points and the role of dispersion forces in phenomena like a gecko climbing glass. The importance of electron distribution and surface area in these forces is highlighted.
