This is the most incredible lecture that I have ever seen...

[harpiasan]

wow... i'm really greatful for having acess to internet and being able to watch a lecture like this one!

[valentinadasilva]

He made this so much easier to comprehend! Loved the explanation, thank you so much :)

Thanks for the holistic dive. Most teachers just arm wave this fundamental material. Well done!

Why don't these kinds of intermolecular forces require quantum mechanical calculations? Is it because distance is too large that QM effects doesn't matter?

Thank you very much, MITOCW for sharing these awesome lessons with us. It really helps. Again, it was a wonderful lecture.
By the way, is there anybody that could find the full version of the video on gecko gloves?(the one with fantastic electron dance) It looked great, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks.

Why did not we talk about InterMetallic Bonds, like one in alloys

I am wondering in which real system (state) a sodium cation could meet a HCl molecule. Hope someone can answer my question.

the table has a row left blank... what's the diff. bet. hydrogen bond and dipole-dipole in water?

It appears that no one from MIT is monitoring this site and its comments. So, it's up to other viewers to respond to comments, if they can (have the knowledge, etc.)
I have the questions: "Why is the term 'kilo-joule' used for such a tiny amount of charge? What's wrong with 'joule, or milli-joule' when referring to atoms and molecules?"
