Abstract

Intermolecular forces embrace all forms of matter and determine the properties of gases, liquids and solids. These include dissolved solute molecules, small molecular aggregates, or macroscopic particles interacting in liquid or vapor. These interactions ultimately determine the behavior and properties of everyday things, soils, milk and cheese, paints and ink, adhesives and lubricants.
