OpenStax Chemistry Chapter 10: Liquids and Solids

10.1 Intermolecular Forces

  • Describe the types of intermolecular forces possible between atoms or molecules in condensed phases (dispersion forces, dipole-dipole attractions, and hydrogen bonding) [R]

  • Identify the types of intermolecular forces experienced by specific molecules based on their structures [A]

  • Explain the relation between the intermolecular forces present within a substance and the temperatures associated with changes in its physical state [A]

10.2 Properties of Liquids

  • Distinguish between adhesive and cohesive forces [R]

  • Define viscosity, surface tension, and capillary rise [R]

  • Describe the roles of intermolecular attractive forces in each of these properties/phenomena [A]


10.3 Phase Transitions

  • Define phase transitions and phase transition temperatures [R]
