strong IMF
kinetic molecular theory
explains the states of matter, and is based on the idea that matter is composed of tiny particles that are always in motion
stronger attractive forces between particles =
more they resist moving
solids melt when
heated
gases can be condensed by
decreasing temp
increasing pressure
attractive forces and boiling/melting point relation
stronger attractive forces = higher melting/boiling point
charge and attraction relation
larger charge = stronger attraction
distance and attraction relation
longer distance = weaker attraction
boiling point and IMF relation
higher boiling point = stronger IMF
unequal electron distribution gives
temporary polarity
permanent dipole adds to the
attractive forces between molecules
raises boiling and melting point
polar substances dissolve in
polar substances
non polar substances dissolve in
non polar substances
strongest type of IMF
hydrogen
ion-dipole attraction
ions are attracted to the dipole of polar molecules
strength determines solubility of ionic compounds in water
London dispersion forces are present in
all molecules
dipole-dipole forces are present in
polar molecules
Hydrogen bonding forces are present in
molecules with H bonded to F, O, or N
ion dipole forces are present in
mixtures of ionic compounds and polar compounds
surface tension
Property of liquids that results from the tendency of liquids to minimize their surface area
are molecules more or less stable than molecules in the interior
less
IMF and surface tension relation
stronger IMF = higher surface tension
