The kinetic Molecular Theory of Matter attempts to describe
All the states of matter & the conversion between the states
What are the 3 encountered states of matter?
Solid, Liquid & Gas
Solids are classifies as having
A definite shape & volume
In solids, what is holding the molecules, atoms, or ions in place?
Intermolecular forces
Liquids are characterized by
A definite volume but NOT shape
The forces between liquid particles are
Weak
The particles comprising both liquid & solid are essentially
Touching
Which 2 states are not easily compressible?
Solids & Liquids
(condensed states of matter)
Gases have neither a
Definite Shape nor Volume
A gas will expand to fill the
Available space
Melting is the conversion of a
Solid into a Liquid
The reverse process of a liquid to a solid is called
Freezing
What is vaporization?
Liquid vaporizing into a gas
Conversion of a gas into a solid is called
Deposition
What is sublimation?
Conversion of a solid directly into a gas
Chemical bonds may hold
Atoms together into molecules
Intermolecular forces determine how
Molecules interact with one another
Intermolecular forces are determined by chemical bonding & it is the intermolecular forces that
Most directly impact the macroscopic properties of a sample
The collective inert repulsion is known as
Intermolecular forces because they occur between different molecules
All molecules & atoms & oppositely charged ions have an
Inert attraction for each other as long as they do not get too close
Intermolecular forces are ________ in nature
Electrostatic
What is responsible for the type & strength of the intermolecular forces?
Organization of electrons & 3-D arrangement
What are the 2 limiting chemical bonds?
Ionic bonds
Covalent Bonds
What is the overarching driving force in the formation of chemical bonds
Octet Rule
