Ch. 7- Liquids and Solids Flashcards
Properties of Solids
Defined shape and volume (held together with IMF)
Can have crystalline or amorphous structure
Ionic Bond
Full transfer of electrons
Metallic Bond
Bond between tightly packed ions and a pool of electrons
Covalent Bond
Electrons are shared
Crystalline
Have small individual repeating unit cells
Can be simple cubic, body centred cubic, face centred cubic
Amorphous
No specific shape
Properties of Liquids
Incompressible fluids with a definite volume
Molecules constantly moving, but are held close together by IMF
London Dispersion/Van der Waals
Weak (low bond strength)
Present in all molecules
Increases with particle size
Due to random shifts in electron density that create temporary dipoles
Dipole-Dipole
Occurs between molecules with a permanent uneven distribution of electrons
Often caused by EN atoms drawing in neighboring electrons, creating charged poles
Medium strength
Only on polar molecules (more polar groups= HIGHER BP)
Symmetrical dipoles cancel each other out (i.e. H2O)
H-Bonds
Highly EN atoms (Fl,Cl,N,O) take a neighbouring H’s electron, giving it a positive charge
Strong
Can have several bonds between an EN atom and many Hs
Solubility
Degree to which a solute can dissolve in a solvent
MIscibility
Degree to which a liquid can dissolve in a solvent
Sublimation
Solid to gas
Only occurs at the surface of the solid
Can’t occur within the solid
Deposition
Gas to solid
Phase Equilibrium is determined by
Pressure and Temperature
