Capstone: From Dominant IMF to Crystal Structure
The idea
This capstone carries one condensed-phase substance from identifying its dominant intermolecular force, through its vapor-pressure and phase-diagram behavior, to its solid-state unit cell and calculated density, showing that a substance's intermolecular forces set every property examined along the way.
Where people slip
Treating vapor pressure, phase-diagram shape, solid classification, and calculated density as four separate facts about iodine, rather than four consequences of the same weak dispersion-force IMF, is exactly the fragmented reading this capstone is built to correct.
