Interactive Demo
IMF Phase Dynamics Lab
IMF Phase Dynamics Lab is a free, interactive learning demo from the AP Chemistry course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Intermolecular Forces (IMF), Properties of Solids, Solids, Liquids, and Gases, Ideal Gas Law. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 1 slider, 4 buttons and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Unit 3: Intermolecular Forces and Properties” section of the course.

How to use this demo
- Drag the sliders to change the inputs and watch the visualization update in real time.
- Use the “Neon LDF”, “HCl Dipole”, “Water H-Bond”, “NaCl Ionic” buttons to trigger actions or reset the demo.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Intermolecular Forces (IMF)
- Properties of Solids
- Solids, Liquids, and Gases
- Ideal Gas Law
- Kinetic Molecular Theory
- Deviation from Ideal Gas Law
- Solutions and Mixtures
- Photoelectric Effect
Frequently asked questions
What does the IMF Phase Dynamics Lab demo do?
Unit 3 examines the forces between molecules and how they dictate the physical properties of matter, including phase changes, gas laws, and solution chemistry. IMF Phase Dynamics Lab turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What AP Chemistry concept does IMF Phase Dynamics Lab teach?
Unit 3 examines the forces between molecules and how they dictate the physical properties of matter, including phase changes, gas laws, and solution chemistry. It focuses on Intermolecular Forces (IMF), Properties of Solids, Solids, Liquids, and Gases, Ideal Gas Law, Kinetic Molecular Theory, Deviation from Ideal Gas Law from the “Unit 3: Intermolecular Forces and Properties” section.
What can I control in IMF Phase Dynamics Lab?
The sliders change the key inputs; the “Neon LDF”, “HCl Dipole”, “Water H-Bond”, “NaCl Ionic” buttons run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does IMF Phase Dynamics Lab fit into the AP Chemistry course?
AP Chemistry is a college-level course designed to provide students with a foundation in chemical principles through inquiry-based investigations and nine core units of study. The curriculum emphasizes four 'Big Ideas'… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Unit 3: Intermolecular Forces and Properties” section.

What will I understand better after using IMF Phase Dynamics Lab?
You'll build intuition for Intermolecular Forces (IMF), Properties of Solids, Solids, Liquids, and Gases, Ideal Gas Law, Kinetic Molecular Theory, Deviation from Ideal Gas Law — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on AP Chemistry alone.
