Unit 3 Flashcards
IMFs
forces between two or more different molecules
IMFs vs. bonds (strength)
not nearly as strong
IMFs determine
boiling points, melting points, viscosity, surface tension, and capillary action
polar vs nonpolar
nonpolar molecules have both elemental and geometrical symmetry
dipole
a partially positive end of a molecule is attracted to the partially negative end of a different molecule
dipole-dipole
polar to polar
more polar, greater attraction
permanent dipole
LDFs
occur in all substances
only IMF in nonpolar molecules
temporary dipole
weak
more surface area –> stronger
to compare strength of IMFs
must be of comparable size
hydrogen bonding
special dipole-dipole
STRONG
polar molecules with H-N, H-O, or H-F
ion-dipole
an ion with something polar
stronger
if there is ion-dipole or hydrogen bonding
there will not be dipole-dopole
weakest to strongest IMFs
LDFs, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole
network covalent
SiO2, SiC, C (graphite and diamonds)
dipole-dipole bp
~equal mass and size, more polar, higher bp
viscosity
resistance of a liquid to flow (honey)
increases with IMF strength
decreases with temp
cohesion
IMFs that bond w themselves
adhesion
IMFs that bond with a surface
capillary action
rise of liquids up narrow tubes
adhesive forces –> wall (water)
cohesive forces –> itself (mercury)
better capillary, stronger IMFs
surface tension
stronger IMFs, greater surface tension
ionic solids
sets of cations and anions mutually attracted (electrostatic) to one another
metal nonmetal
think salt
lattice composed of alternately charged ions
small ions (ions w higher charges) will have stronger attractions
high bp and mp, crystals, brittle, dissolve in water, strong
metallic solids
sea of shared electrons
metal metal
thing mg ribbon
high mp and bp
conductive, ductile, malleable, strong
covalent-network solids
joined by extensive network of covalent bonds in pattern
only in nonmetals
high mp and bp
hard
do not dissolve
strong
think diamonds
molecular solids
held by week forces
nonmetal nonmetal
think water
low melting point, don’t conduct, weak
solid
low ke, little space, fixed volume and shape, cannot be compressed
liquids
close together, higher ke, take shape of container, cannot be compressed
gas
highest ke, far apart, easily compressed, take shape of container, no regular arrangement of particles
