Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction and repulsion between interacting particles (atoms and molecules). This term does not include the electrostatic forces that exist between the two oppositetic charged ions and the forces that hold atoms of a molecule together  i.e., covale…

Absolute configuration: The actual three- dimensional structure of choral molecules. Absolute configurations are specified verbally by the R, S convention and represented on paper by Fischer projections. Absorption spectrum: A plot of wavelength of incident light versus amount of light …

The development of modern technology has brought tremendous changes to our life- styles in the last 30 years. One of the most significant changes has been the gradual replacement of natural materials, sut as wood, wool and cotton with man- made synthetic polymers. For better or worse, w…

Intermolecular forces are stronger in liquid state than in gaseous state. Molecules in liquids than in gaseous 'state'. Molecules in Liquids are so close that there is very little empty space between them and under normal conditions luquid aree denser than gases. Molecules of li…

It is one of the characteristic properties of liquids. Viscosity is a measure of resistance to flow which arises due to the internal friction between layers of fluids as they slip. past one another while liquid flows.  Strong intermolecular forces between molecules hold them together an…
