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.
It is 307 miles (494 km) long by 118 miles (190 km) wide with a shoreline 1,640 miles (2,640 km) long. The lake's average depth is 46 fathoms 3 feet (279 ft; 85 m), while its greatest depth is 153 fathoms 5 feet (923 ft; 281 m). It contains a volume of 1,180 cubic miles (4,918 kmÂ³) of water. Green Bay in the northwest is its largest bay.
