Abstract
Intermolecular forces are fundamental to the study of molecular liquids. They are responsible not only for the very existence of condensed matter, but for all the ways in which the properties of a condensed fluid differ from those of an ideal gas of non-interacting particles. The fundamental interactions are the same as those responsible for the ordinary chemical forces which hold the atoms together in a molecule, but whereas the bonds in a molecule are strong enough for it to retain its identity in normal circumstances, the ‘bonds’ between molecules are weak enough to be constantly broken and reformed at ordinary thermal energies.
