Chemistry: Van der Waals forces

Van der Waals forces: London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces,  and hydrogen bonding.

Chemistry

Did you know that everything is made out of chemicals? Chemistry is the study of matter: its composition, properties, and reactivity. This material roughly covers a first-year high school or college course, and a good understanding of algebra is helpful.

Introduction to intermolecular forces

Intermolecular forces act between neighboring atoms, molecules, or ions, and they can be used to explain pretty much every macroscopic property of matter! We'll be learning about the different kinds of intermolecular forces and how they affect properties such as surface tension.
