Intermolecular Forces
In this intermolecular forces worksheet, students read about the two types of forces: dispersion forces and dipole-dipole forces. Students then complete 2 problems based on what they read.

Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Metal Forces
Explore what happens when a force is exerted on a metallic material. The molecular structure of the material affects how it responds to an applied force at the macroscopic level.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Plastic Forces
Explore what happens when a force is exerted on a polymeric plastic material. The molecular structure of a material affects how it responds to an applied force at the macroscopic level.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Tire Forces
Explore what happens when a force is exerted on a rubber tire. The molecular structure of each material affects how it responds to an applied force at the macroscopic level.
