Mesoscale Structures: Structures that exist at a scale between the atomic and macroscopic levels, often influencing material properties and behaviors. Van der Waals Forces: Weak intermolecular ...

There are strong covalent bonds between the atoms but only weak intermolecular forces between the different ... and using these to explain their properties, which is why 6 marks are allocated.

In particular, the chemical theories include quantum mechanics, semi-empirical methods, Hartree-Fock, Post Hartree-Fock methods, and density functional theory, and solvation methods, molecular ...

Because terahertz spectroscopy probes directly at the intermolecular vibrations (lattice phonon modes) it is ideal for detecting and monitoring solid-state crystalline properties. Some of the drug ...
