Intermolecular Bonds
Intermolecular bonds, also known as secondary bonds, play a fundamental role in determining the physical properties of substances. Unlike intramolecular bonds, which hold atoms together within molecules, intermolecular bonds occur between molecules. These bonds are generally weaker than intramolecular bonds but are crucial for understanding phenomena such as solubility, boiling points, and viscosity. By delving into the nature and characteristics of intermolecular bonds, we gain valuable insights into the behavior of matter at the macroscopic level, contributing to various fields including chemistry, materials science, and biology.
