Sometimes two molecules that seem similar can have very different properties because of the intermolecular bonds present. Consider ethanol and ether. Both molecules have the same molecular formula ...

The alkanes are a homologous series with a structure based on a carbon chain - each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds The intermolecular forces vary between molecules, so different organic ...

Supramolecular chemistry is the study of entities of greater complexity than individual molecules — assemblies of molecules that bond and organize through intermolecular interactions.
