Episode 8 — Matter & Materials - Organic Molecules and Properties

Organic Molecules Intermolecular Force

Learners will be able to:

• Describe how structural differences in molecules affect the type of intermolecular force that exists between molecules. • Explain how different functional groups result in different intermolecular forces forming between molecules. • Identify the types of intermolecular forces present in alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. • Compare the strength of intermolecular forces in molecules with different polarities. • Analyze how chain length and branching affect the melting and boiling points of compounds.
