4 Sem, 1 Exam Flashcards
What particles do the three states of matter have?
Solid, liquid, gas
localized particles, movable particles, independent particles
Density of g,l,s?
low, high, high
Volume of g,l,s?
indefinite, definite, definite
Shape of g,l,s?
indefinite, indefinite, definite
Distance between single units g,l,s and there freedom?
far away/independent, close together/mobile, close together fixed
IMF between g,l,s?
weak, moderate, strong
Unsymmetrical distribution of electrons in atom/molecule shells i.e. more electrons are on one side than the other which results in a charge. What are these charges/forces and the charged areas of the atom called?
Van der Waals forces (VdW-forces) a.k.a. London forces
Polarisation, temporary/instantaneous dipole
A positive dipole attracts the electrons of a neighboring atom/molecule towards itself causing a polarization in the other atom/molecule.
Induction of a dipole
What is the hierarchy of the IMF? Highest to lowest strength.
- Hydrogen bonds
- Dipole-dipole forces
- Van der Waals forces
With what do the Van der Waals forces increase?
With the probability of polarization i.e. the more electrons contained in a molecule. In the case of an equal number of electrons the size of the atom/molecule is important i.e. the larger the molecule/atom the more VdW-forces.
What does a high boiling point imply?
High intermolecular forces between the atoms/molecules
In a molecule out of more than one different atoms the different atoms must have a different amount of protons. The atom with more protons has a greater attraction on the electrons than the ones with less electrons forming a permanent dipole. These charges decrease rapidly with the size of the atom so that this effect decreases further down the periodic table. What is this combined effect called/its unit of measurement?
Electronegativity (ΔEN)
The atoms in a molecule with a higher electronegativity attract more electrons and therefore create permanent dipoles. What are the forces acting between such molecules called?
Dipole-dipole force or dipole-dipole interaction
Which element has the highest electronegativity?
Fluorine
What is the result of a difference in electronegativity of atoms in a molecule?
And what is the result of a increasing difference?
polar covalent bonds
increase in polarity
In what case can a molecule with polar bonds/a polar bond not have a dipole?
When the centers of the negative and positive dipole collide / are located at the same place.
What is necessary for the formation of a dipole? (2)
Molecule contains (a) polar bond(s) (ΔEN) the negative and positive dipole centers don't coincide
Because molecules containing hydrogen atoms directly bonded to fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen have a very large electronegativity difference, due to the hydrogens single proton and the small size of these atoms, they have particularly strong dipole-dipole forces and are assigned an own IMF. What is it called?
Hydrogen bonding
Because of hydrogen bonds water shows strange properties called the anomaly of water. What are these properties?
Denser liquid state than solid state
Water is most dense at 4°C
Why does H2O increase when it freezes?
In the solid state the molecules try to make as many H-bonds as possible. In the ideal orientation each molecule makes 4 hydrogen bonds leaving “tunnels” between the molecules.
What other physical factor (besides temperature) turns ice to water?
Why?
Name a real world application.
Pressure
Molecules are forced out of their arrangements into the “tunnels”
Ice-skating
Why do oil and water not mix?
Because polar (water) and non-polar (oil) substances don’t mix. Polar substances have a dipole, non-polar don’t.
How does a metal with x electrons on its outer shell interact with a nonmetal which has “n(max. shell) – x” electrons in its outer shell? What do the two atoms become?
The metal hands over its electrons to the non metal, both then achieving the noble gas state. Both become charged ions (metal +, nonmetal -)
What is a positive and a negative ion called?
cation (+), anion (-)
