This is why, at room temperature, iodine, which has the largest molecule, is a solid, bromine, which is the next in line in terms of size, is a liquid, and fluorine and chlorine, the smallest of the molecules, are both gases. So remember, nonpolar molecules only exhibit weak London dispersion forces.
For most women, the length of time between ovulation (when an egg is released from the ovary) and their monthly period is between 12 to 16 days (this is called the luteal phase). The first day of your menstrual cycle is the first day of your period (day 1). The period usually then lasts anything from 3 to 7 days. Youâll probably find that if you get any period pains, theyâll be at their worst in the first few days of your period.
The three days leading up to and including ovulation are the most fertile. 1  Depending on your cycle length the most fertile days in the cycle varies: 2  If you have 28 days between periods ovulation typically happens on day 14, and the most fertile days are days 12, 13, and 14. If you have longer cycles, say 35 days between periods, ovulation happens on day 21 and the most fertile days are days 19, 20, and 21. If you have shorter cycles, say 21 days between periods, ovulation happens on day 7 and the most fertile days are days 5, 6, and 7.
