Forces between molecules

Forces between molecules

Simple molecular substances are made of separate molecules. Strong covalent bonds hold atoms together within each molecule, while much weaker intermolecular forces act between neighbouring molecules. Intermolecular forces are not the same as covalent, ionic, or metallic bonding.

Step-by-step lessons covering Edexcel A Level Chemistry Intermolecular forces for A Level Chemistry. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 format. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
