Abstract
In much of this chapter, we focus largely, but not exclusively, on water and the forces that permit liquids to be in the liquid state instead of other states. Understanding this chemistry is useful as the world struggles to meet its need for water in agriculture, industry, and household uses in the face of an ever-increasing population. We then apply our understanding of forces to a survey of solids, especially crystals and metals, looking at their structure and function.
