INTERMOLECULAR FORCES

Activity 1: Fact or Bluff

Directions: Write FACT if the statement is true and BLUFF if the statement is
false.

_____1. Matter is made of particles that are constantly in motion. This energy in motion
is called potential energy.
_____2. The amount of kinetic energy in a substance is related to its temperature.
_____3. The amount of space in between particles is related to the substance's state of
matter.
_____4. Phase changes happen when the pressure of the substance changes
sufficiently.
_____5. There are attractive forces in between particles called intermolecular forces.
The strength of these forces increase as particles get closer together.
