Attractive intermolecular forces are categorized into the
following types:
o Hydrogen bonding
o Ion-dipole forces and ion-induced dipole forces
o Van der Waals forces
Two important principles:
1. Evaporation: Cools the Water ==> Warms the Atmosphere
2. No evaporation takes place when the relative humidity
of the air is 100 percent (saturated)

Thanks to advances in astronomical technology, we now know
there are ever-evolving regions where densities of matter
change, atomic clouds transform into molecular clouds that
collapse under gravity giving birth to protostars. More than
260 different molecular species have now been detected in
interstellar space, including alcohols, aldehydes, acids and
amides and many other organic molecules – some familiar on
Earth, some not stable here at all.
All of the bases in DNA and RNA have now been found in meteorites
