Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into ...

A recent study by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences redefines how liquids maintain their contact with solid surfaces—also known as wettability—from an intermolecular force perspective.

The assembly and stability of molecular complexes are governed by a delicate balance of intermolecular forces. These noncovalent interactions span a spectrum from directional hydrogen bonds to the ...

A structured KS5 lesson (part 2 of 2) including starter activity, AfL work tasks and main work task all with answers on Intermolecular forces (Hydrogen bonding) To understand hydrogen bonding as ...

What is a Surface Force Apparatus (SFA)? The Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) is a highly sensitive scientific instrument used to measure the forces between two surfaces at the nanoscale. It allows ...

The actin and myosin complex (actomyosin) generates contraction force of a muscle utilizing the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis reaction. Many attempts have thus been made to explain the ...

The alkanes are a homologous series with a structure based on a carbon chain - each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds The intermolecular forces vary between molecules, so different organic ...

Two lesson bundle covering the three types of intermolecular forces for the OCR, AQA and Edexcel Specification. Lesson 1: Intermolecular Forces (Part 1) covers London forces and Permanent ...
