One of these phenomena increases in strength with increasing polarizability, and thus with larger electron clouds, explaining why bromine is a liquid at STP.
These phenomena are modelled by the "r to the minus 6" term in the Lennard-Jones potential. One of these phenomena increases in strength with increasing polarizability, and thus with larger electron clouds, explaining why bromine is a liquid at STP. These phenomena are particularly strong in (*) water, explaining its high boiling point. One of these phenomena is the result of induced dipoles, and another is the result of a highly electronegative element bonded to hydrogen. For 10 points, what forces, including dipole-dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, and hydrogen bonds, cause attraction and repulsion between molecules?

intermolecular forces [accept van der Waals forces; if they answer with "hydrogen bonds," "dipole-dipole interactions," or "London dispersion forces," prompt by saying "They want something more general."]
