Kinetic Theory of Matter
- All matter is made up of tiny particles
- All particles of one substance are the same
- Different pure substances are made of different particles
- Particles are always moving
- There are attractive forces between particles
Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gas
- The size of the particles is too small compared to the distances between them
- Gas particles are constantly moving
- Gas particles do not attract nor repel each other
- The average kinetic energy of gas particles increases with temperature
Kinetic Molecular Theory of Solids and Liquids
- Liquids and solids have less internal energy to move molecules, making them denser compared to gases
- The molecules in a liquid are close enough to slide past one another and be slightly compressible, which gives the liquid the ability to assume the shape of its container
- The molecules of a solid are held rigidly at fixed positions and have little freedom to move. Thus, solid is generally incompressible and has a definite volume and shape
- attractive forces between molecules; responsible for keeping matter in solid or liquid phases
- force which keeps molecules together
Intermolecular Force
Types of Intermolecular Forces of Attraction
- Dispersion forces
- Dipole-dipole
- Hydrogen bond
- Ion-Dipole
- Dipole-Induced Dipole
- Ion-Induced Dipole
attractive forces between polar molecules; uneven sharing of electrons between atoms sharing a covalent bond causes one to be partially positive and the other partially negative
Dipole-dipole Force
strong type of dipole-dipole interaction; occurs when molecules interact through dipole-dipole interactions between hydrogen atoms in a polar bond and an electronegative atom.
Hydrogen Bond
arises in part from high electronegativity of nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine
Hydrogen Bonding
result from the formation of two temporary dipoles
London Dispersion Forces
results in the interactions between a polar molecule and an ion.
Ion-Dipole Force
tendency of an electron cloud to distort
Polarizability
is a force between nonpolar and polar molecules
Dipole Induced Dipole
resistance of a liquid to flow
Viscosity
an attraction between unlike molecules
Adhesion
intermolecular attraction between like molecules
Cohesion
broader term that includes evaporation and also boiling
Vaporization
gaseous state of a substance which is normally a liquid or solid at room temperature
Vapor
substances that evaporate readily
Volatile Substances
equilibrium pressure of a vapor above its liquid (or solid), or the pressure of the vapor resulting from evaporation of a liquid above a sample of the liquid in a closed container
Vapor Pressure
temperature at which its vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
Boiling Point
a simplified representation of valence electron in an element or in a molecule
Lewis Dot Structure
refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell
Octete Rule
represents electron shells that are located around the nucleus
Energy Level
shows the most probable pathway of an electron that is in motion around the nucleus
Orbitals
