      - 1.4 Intermolecular forces
        1.4.1 describe intermolecular forces as van der Waals’ forces (viewed as attractions between induced dipoles), permanent dipole-dipole attractions and hydrogen bonding (between molecules containing N, O or F and the H atom of -OH, -NH or HF);
      - 1.6 Shapes of molecules and ions
        1.6.3 explain the departure of the bond angles in NH₃ (107°)and H₂O (104.5°) from the predicted tetrahedral(109.5°) in terms of the increasing repulsion between bonding pair-bonding pair, lone pair-bonding pair and lone pair-lone pair electrons;
