Breaking weight and breaking stress A substance behaves as a perfectly elastic body up to its elastic limit. When the applied force exceeds that limit,…

Elastic limit: We know, everybody is deformed or strained when a force is applied on it, but it returns to its original shape and size…

How the intermolecular force and potential energy between two molecules are changed due to the change of distance between them are discussed below. Suppose, interatomic…

Elasticity in the light of intermolecular force When force is applied on a crystalline body, atoms/molecules of the body are displaced from their equilibrium positions.…

Some quantities are especially related to elasticity which is discussed below: (a) Perfectly elastic body: A body that returns to its original shape and size…

We know, when a force is applied to a body its physical change occurs i.e., the body becomes deformed and when the force is withdrawn…

Metallic Bond Generally metallic bond is observed in metals. Metal atom prefers to have maximum number of atoms around it. As distance between atoms is…

Vander Waals Bond A universal weak attractive force acts between nearby atoms. The mutual interaction by which this force of attraction is created is called…

Intermolecular Force in State of Matter Before discussing elasticity we need to know the structure of matter and why elasticity is produced in matter. Normally…

During chemical interaction, of two atoms of the same element or different elements, if transfer of outer-shell electrons is not possible, then by sharing of…
