Molecules with stronger intermolecular force have higher freezing points. > Letâs look at it from the point of view of a solid, where the particles are held in position by their intermolecular forces of attraction. If we raise the temperature enough to overcome these forces, the solid will melt.
Although it is smaller than each of the Great LakesâOntario, Erie, Huron, Superior, and MichiganâLake Champlain is a large body of fresh water. Approximately 1,269 km2 (490 sq mi) in area, the lake is roughly 201 km (125 mi) long, and 23 km (14 mi) across at its widest point.
The largest lake by surface area is Lake Michigan-Huron, which is hydrologically a single lake. Its surface area is 45,300 sq. mi./117,400 km2. For those who consider Lake Michigan-Huron to be separate lakes, Lake Superior would be the largest at 31,700 sq. mi./82,100 km2.
