Chapter 10 Flashcards
Molecules in a gas have complete freedom of motion.
KE overcomes the attractive forces between molecules.
Molecules in a liquid have limited freedom of motion.
Have enough KE to overcome some of the forces.
Molecules in a solid have no freedom of motion.
Though they vibrate, they can’t overcome the forces.
How strong are gas IM forces?
Weak
How strong are liquid IM forces?
Moderate
How strong are solid IM forces?
Strong
One state of matter can be transformed into another
by changing the
temperature, pressure, or both.
When you change the temperature, you change the
kinetic energy of the particles
− When you change the pressure, you change the
strength of the attractions between the particles
Covalent bonds are held together by _________
forces. Are these strong or weak?
intramolecular, Strong
Intermolecular attractions exist
between molecules
Where do intermolecular attractions happen in molecules?
+ ion/end of polar molecule to - ion/end of polar molecule
Are inter or intra molecular forces stronger? Why?
Usually intra, greater distance=less force to break attractions
What determines Physical properties? EG boiling/melting points, vapor pressure, viscosity
Intermolecular forces
Stronger Intermolecular forces can be correlated to
Higher melting/boiling point
