Development of the Modern Freezer. Bacteria are usually the cause of food decay, but they can't grow as well or at all in freezing temperatures, which are at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) or lower.
HF- polar molecule: dipole-dipole forces. There are also dispersion forces and H bond between HF. BF3- nonpolar: dispersion forces. Ar- Dispersion forces between Ar atoms.
Van der Waals force is the attraction of one molecule to another as a result of the molecules being slightly polar in charge. Van der Waals forces are responsible for many properties of water. Continue Reading
