I Structure Of Matter 10. The arrangement of atoms in a molecule determines the molecule's properties.
Shapes are particularly important in how molecules interact with others.
Determine molecular polarity from the shape and bond polarity of a molecule. Determine the type and strength of intermolecular forces based on molecular polarity. Relate the strength of intermolecular forces to physical properties such as boiling point, melting point, surface tension, solubility, vapor pressure, adhesion, cohesion, and viscosity. Suggest and recognize practical applications using intermolecular forces.
