Answer:

Electrostatic Van de Waals forces act between molecules to form weak bonds. The types of Van der Waals forces, strongest to weakest, are dipole-dipole forces, dipole-induced dipole forces and the London dispersion forces. The hydrogen bond is based on a type of dipole-dipole force that is especially powerful. These forces help determine the physical characteristics of materials.

A study assessing the effect of anxiety (low vs. high) and stress (low vs. moderate vs. high) on test.

Everyone experiences anxiety occasionally, but persistent anxiety can reduce your quality of life. Though likely best known for altering behavior, worry can have negative effects on our physical health. Anxiety speeds up our heartbeat and breathing, concentrating blood flow to the parts of our brains that need it. You are getting ready for a challenging situation by having this extremely bodily reaction. Test performance may be impacted by anxiety. According to studies, pupils with low levels of test anxiety perform better on multiple-choice question (MCQ) exams than pupils with high levels of anxiety. Studies have indicated that female students have greater levels of test anxiety than male students.
