IMFs and Properties
- IMFs influence melting point, boiling point, viscosity, and vapor pressure.
- Boiling Point: temperature at which vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
- Melting Point: solid changes to liquid at atmospheric pressure.
- Viscosity: liquid's resistance to flow (stronger IMFs = higher viscosity).
- Vapor Pressure: increases exponentially with temperature. When boiling, vapor pressure equals external pressure.
