→Intermolecular Forces and State Changes
: If a [[liquid]] is [[heat]]ed enough the [[particle]]s can move so fast that they escape the [[bonds]] holding the [[particle]]s to each other which allows them to leave the [[liquid]] to become part of a [[gas]].
: The stronger the '''intermolecular forces''' the higher the [[Melting Point|melting point]] and [[Boiling Point|boiling point]] of a [[substance]].
: Comparing the [[Halogen]]s [[Fluorine]] is a [[gas]] at [[Room Temperature|room temperature]] while [[Iodine]] is a [[solid]] at [[Room Temperature|room temperature]].
