Covalent Bonds: Students learn how to predict the shape of a molecule based on the electron dot diagram and to explain what determines molecular polarity. Intermolecular forces are also described.

The process of folding proteins into their tertiary structures is spontaneous and involves bonds and intermolecular forces to make ... which have what is called a polar side-chain.

the molecule itself is non-polar and the only intermolecular force present will be weak London dispersion forces. Ammonia (NH 3) and hydrogen fluoride (HF) both also have higher boiling points ...

When comparing molecules of the same size, the type of intermolecular forces present need to be considered by looking for O-H or N-H bonds (hydrogen bonding) or polar bonds (permanent dipole ...

Says Tian “a series of studies have found that hydrophobic attraction can exist between apolar surfaces and hydrophilic repulsion between the polar surface(s) in water, that is, the IWTs should ...

In molecular crystals that exhibit singlet fission, quantum yields depend strongly on intermolecular configurations that ... molecules on a solid surface as a function of surface polarity. Even at low ...
