Hi
I'm trying to review some fundamental chemistry and I want to make sure I understand the difference between a liquid and a gas. I will build this question up in stages.
I'd like to consider propanone. I believe the intermolecular forces (IMF)in liquid propanone are dipole-dipole and London dispersion forces (induced dipole). What IMF forces are there in gaseous propanone? Are there any IMF in a gas because the gas molecules would all disperse if they weren't in a container suggesting they aren't held together very strongly.
I will build my question up once I have this foundation clarified.
thanks
