Chemistry II Advanced Survey · Intermolecular Forces and Phases of Matter
Virginia SOL CHII.4
Virginia SOL CHII.4 is part of the Intermolecular Forces and Phases of Matter strand in Chemistry II Advanced Survey (Science). Under this Standards of Learning objective, students investigate and understand that forces of attraction among particles contribute to properties of substances. Below is what CHII.4 covers in plain language, the specific skills it is assessed on, the key concepts to review, and how to practice CHII.4 for the Virginia SOL test.
