Intermolecular Forces Flashcards
(44 cards)
THE KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY OF MATTER
- explains the observable properties of the states of matter
Matter is made up of
tiny particles that are constantly moving
What particles hv energy?
All
What states has least energy?
Solid
State has most energy?
Gas
A phase changr occur as the
energy of particles is increased or
decreased.
High amnt of space
Gas
Least space
Solid
5- Atoms and molecules have ?between them
attractive forces
. The
larger the space, the ? the force of attraction.
weaker
Intra
Within
? force since there is
a bond that holds the two atoms
of the same molecule together.
intramolecular
attractive force that holds the
the atoms of two molecules
together.
Intermolecular
Intermolecular is ? Than intramolecular
Weaker
The strength of interaction between molecules determines the ?,
Properties of a substance
The strength of the interaction between molecules affects the ? and ?of compounds as well as the ? of one substance to another.
melting boiling point solubility
• It also causes the compound to exist in ? at a given temperature.
certain states of matter (solid, liquid or gas)
Three types of IMF exist in neutral molecules. They are collectively known as the “
van der Waals forces,
Three types of IMF exist in neutral molecules. They are collectively known as the van der Waals forces, after the Dutch physicist ?
Johannes Diderik van der Waals
These three types are presented in order of increasing strength:
• ?
London dispersion forces
• dipole-dipole interaction
• hydrogen bonding
Londo Dispersion Forces inteoduced by
Fritz London
Most ? substances exist as ? under ordinary conditions.
nopolar gas
This is an indication that interaction between molecules of nonpolar substances is very ?.
weak
London dispersion aka
It is also known as the instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interaction.
