ch11 imfs Flashcards
characteristics of gas
assumes volume and shape of container, is compressible, flows readily, diffusion within a gas occurs rapidly
characteristics of liquid
assumes shape of the portion of container it occupies, does not expand to fill container, incompressible, flows readily, diffusion within occurs slowly
characteristics of solid
retains own shape and volume, incompressible, does not flow, diffusion within occurs extremely slowly
condensed phases
Solids and liquids are condensed phases because particles are close together. Solids that possess highly ordered structures are crystalline.
how to change state
The state of a substance depends largely on the balance between the kinetic energies of the particles and the interparticle energies of attraction. KE keeps particles apart, interparticle attractions draw particles together.Gases have weaker interparticle attractions than liquids
We can change a substance from one state to another by heating or cooling which changes the average kinetic energy of the particles. As temp decreases, KE decreases.
Increasing pressure of a gas forces molecules closer together, which strengthens intermolecular forces of attraction
types of van der waals and 1 other4
dipole-dipole, london dispersion, and hydrogen bonding. The other important force is ion-dipole force. All of these forces are electrostatic, so involve positive-negative attractions
ion dipole force
between ion and partial charge on the end of a polar molecule (dipole). Positive ions attracted to negative end of dipole, and vice versa. Magnitude of attraction increases as charge of the ion or magnitude of dipole moment increases
dipole dipole
positive end of one molecule is near negative end of another. Found in polar molecules. Weaker than ion-dipole. For molecules of approximately equal mass and size, the strengths of intermolecular attraction increase with increasing polarity=increased boiling point.
ldf
motion of electrons in molecule can create an instantaneous dipole moment. In nonpolar molecules. (if you could freeze moment, at that instant, the electrons could be on one side). Temporary dipoles on one atom can induce dipoles on adjacent atoms, causing LDF. Strength of LDF depends on ease with which charge distribution can be distorted=polarizability. Higher molecular weight=More polarizable=stronger LDF. Longer/cylinder molecules=higher boiling point because more contact is possible than sphere shaped
comparing strengths of forces in molecules3
- ldf in all molecules
- When molecules have sameish weight and shape, LDF is equal. Attractions are due to dipole-dipole interactions
- When molecules differ in weight, more massive molecule has strongest attraction due to LDF
hbonding
unique dipole-dipole attraction between an H atom in a polar bond ( HF, HO, HN) and an unshared electron pair on a nearby small electronegative ion/atom (F, O, or N atom in another molecule). Happens because F O N are so electronegative, and H only has 1 electron. Stronger than dipole-dipole bonds
h bonding in water
ice assumes structured shape with lots of open space, so liquid water is more dense than ice. (ice floats)
viscosity
resistance of a liquid to flow. Greater viscosity=flows slower. Measured by time it takes to travel through thin tube under gravitational force. Increases with stronger molecular forces, so Viscosity increases as molecular weight increases and decreases with increasing temperature. SI units for viscosity are kg/m-s.
surface tension
energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount. Water has a high surface tension because it has strong H bonds.
molecules at the surface are attracted only by molecules below them while interior molecules are attracted equally in all directions, so there is a net downward attraction into the interior of the liquid. Because spheres have smallest surface area for their volume, water droplets form sphere shape.
cohesive force
intermolecular forces that bind similar molecules to one another, such as H bonding in water.
adhesive force
intermolecular forces that bind a substance to a surface. Water in a glass tube sticks to the glass on the sides because of adhesive forces, which is why water has a meniscus (curved upper surface) that is U shaped.
capillary action
rise of liquids up very narrow tubes (capillaries). Adhesive forces increase the surface area of the liquid, but surface tension reduces the area, pulling the liquid up the tube, until the cohesive and adhesive forces are balanced by the force of gravity on the liquid.
sublimation
solid→ vapor state
molecules of a solid transformed directly into gaseous state. Hsub=Hfus+Hvap
