1.5 Flashcards
true or false: without intermolecular forces of attraction between particles, all particles will move independently and be gases
true
What does condensed phases mean?
liquids and solids
true or false: solid and liquid has similar densities
true, also they are both much denser than gas
Describe condensed phases
- similar densities: particles are extremely close
- particles no longer have enough KE to overcome intermolecular attractions
- this is due to attraction between opposite charges
What is the physical state of a substance due to?
a balance between:
- average kinetic energy of particles
- potential energy of intermolecular attractions between particles
what is the type of intermolecular forces present depend on?
depends on the type of molecule
Briefly describe liquid physical properties
fluid
have surface properties
when pressure is applied to it, it is transmitted equally in all directions
What are intermolecular forces? Where do they occur?
- collectively known as Van der Waals forces
- they create structure in condensed phases
- generally weak; occur BETWEEN molecules
When you boil a substance what do you break?
No, not the strong covalent bonding; which occurs WITHIN molecules, but rather the weak intermolecular forces which occur BETWEEN molecules
true of false: every molecule is attracted to its neighbor
true
Why do these van der waals forces occur?
It is due to the uneven distribution of electrons due to geometry of each molecule
Describe ion- dipole forces
ion and polar molecule attract strongly to each other
Describe dipole- dipole forces
attractions occur between oppositely charged poles on polar molecules
- depends on the orientation being correct
true or false: the hydration of ion is always exothermic
true
true or false: higher charge density (relative to its size) = more negative change in hydration enthalpy (delta H hydration)?
true
