| Its value is dependent on intermolecular forces in the liquid and the molecular complexity of the compound. |
| To understand the differences in properties of larger molecules, the additivity of intermolecular interactions becomes important. |
| When there are stronger intermolecular forces between the molecules of a liquid, the surface tension should be greater. |
| An intermolecular pair interaction between water molecules is also introduced. |
| These interactions are attractions and repulsions due to intermolecular forces and the fact that the molecules have a definite size. |
| The other factor adding to the failure of the law of partial pressures at high pressure is the presence of weak, intermolecular forces. |
