liquid to solid
Freezing, exothermic
solid to liquid
melting (fusion), endothermic
liquid to gas
vaporization, endothermic
gas to liquid
condensation, exothermic
solid to gas
sublimation, exothermic
gas to solid
deposition, endothermic
as dipole moment decreases
boiling point decreases
surface tension
the amount of energy required to increase the surface of a liquid by a unit of area
cohesion
attractions between like molecules
adhesion
attraction between unlike molecules
viscosity
a measure of liquids resistance to flow (Temperature, intermolecular forces)
vapor pressure
the partial pressure of a substance
(vaporization/evaporation)
Dynamic equilibrium
occurs when a forward and reverse process are occurring at the same rate
unit cell
the basic repeating structural unit of a crystalline
capillary action
the movement of liquid up a narrow tube as the result of adhesive forces.
supercooling
a phenomenon in which a liquid could be temporarily cooled to below its freezing point
