intermolecular

Examples

• All

• The larger the surface area of the growing cluster, or the stronger the intermolecular interaction, the larger the target area onto which more molecules and other nearby droplets can be pulled.

• The reasons for this have to do with the relative magnitudes of intermolecular versus intramolecular forces—that is, the attraction of like molecules for one another compared with that of unlike molecules.

• And they know and they know that intermolecular forces have power.

• Although AFM measures total force, the mix of intermolecular forces is quite complex.

• So what is our strongest intermolecular bond that we have for HF?

• Researchers have measured the intermolecular forces that help cushion our joints.

• My understanding was that at lower temperatures, such as the surface of the Earth and below, there is too little energy in the average intermolecular (actually interatomic) collision to come anywhere near the energy necessary to cause thermal radiation in argon.

• Once an "embryo" of the new liquid phase forms, more molecules tend to gather around it and glom onto it, attracted by intermolecular forces; see illustration on pages 34-35.

• The underlying science is tremendously exciting: weak intermolecular interactions, low dielectric constants, and the presence of disorder are characteristics that make organic semiconductors distinctive systems for exploring a variety of solid-state phenomena.

• In liquid water, the intermolecular forces allow the molecules to stick together and form drops.
