ADP Tut 1.10-1012 SEM1-21

The document discusses various concepts related to intermolecular forces, liquids, and solids, including the properties of solids, types of interactions in melting, polarizability, hydrogen bonding, and boiling/freezing points of different substances. It presents questions that require identifying correct statements about solids, determining incorrect interactions for melting, and rationalizing differences in boiling points. Additionally, it includes calculations related to heating liquid ammonia.
