Removing energy from the system (the two He atoms) makes the system more stable, with the most stable point being the potential energy minimum. Potential Energy Repulsive forces dominate Distance between atomic centers Attractive forces dominate Why is the system most stable at that point? (Hint: it is not because the energy is minimized, think about the role of forces!

How does decreasing the total energy of the system affect the stability of the pair of atoms in the system? Does this decrease in total energy make them more or less likely to stick together (AKA form a stable interaction)? Choice 1 :More likely to stick together Choice 2 of 2:Less likely to stick together Explain why in the box below, be sure to reference the actions of the atoms and molecules as the energy flows from the system (two He atoms) to the surroundings (the outside molecule).

All compounds in a chemical series have the same commonality of structure, therefore the same predominant IMF. Using concepts of intermolecular forces, please explain thetrends of decreasing ΔTwith increasing molar mass within a chemical series. (i asked this earlier but the person who answered it just copied over the answer from chegg so please dont do that again here)
A certain gaseous molecular compound is 29.7% S and 70.3%F. A 50.0 g sample of this gas occupies 11.3 L at 1.00 atm and 298 K,. Are the molecules of this compound polar?
The amount of saturation not only has an effect on the chemical but also the physical properties of the fat. For example, animal fat which is about half saturated and half unsaturated fat is a solid at room temperature but vegetable fat which is about 85 % unsaturated fat is a liquid at room temperature. This is because saturated fats are more linear compared to unsaturated which are nonlinear (bent), meaning that saturated fats are capable of more of what kind of interaction?

The table below shows some physical properties of halogenatedliquids.Which of the following statements best explains these data?(a) The larger the dipole moment, the stronger the intermolecularforces, and therefore the boiling point is lowest for themolecule with the largest dipole moment. (b) The dispersionforces increase from F to Cl to Br; since the boiling point alsoincreases in this order, the dispersion forces must make a fargreater contribution to intermolecular interactions thandipole–dipole interactions. (c) The trend in electronegativityis F 7 Cl 7 Br; therefore, the most ionic compound 1CH2F22has the lowest boiling point, and the most covalent compound1CH2Br22 has the highest boiling point. (d) Boiling point increaseswith molecular weight for these nonpolar compounds.
