Intermolecular Forces and Physical Properties definitions Flashcards

Attractive forces between molecules influencing physical properties like boiling point and viscosity.

Temperature where liquid and gas are in equilibrium; increases with stronger intermolecular forces.

Temperature where solid and liquid are in equilibrium; higher with stronger intermolecular forces.

Measure of cohesive forces at a liquid's surface; stronger with increased intermolecular forces.

Resistance to flow in a substance; higher with stronger intermolecular forces, reduced by heat.

Pressure exerted by gas on a liquid's surface; inversely related to intermolecular force strength.

State where two phases, like liquid and gas, coexist without net change; crucial in boiling and melting points.

Attractive forces between similar molecules, contributing to surface tension.

Process where gas transforms into liquid, part of vapor pressure equilibrium.

Process where liquid transforms into gas, part of vapor pressure equilibrium.
