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.
