Chapter 11 Intermolecular Forces and Phase Changes Flashcards
Dipole-Dipole Force
Intermolecular force between two polar molecules. The partial positive charge
on one molecule is attracted to the partial negative charge on the other molecule
London Dispersion Force
Intermolecular force caused by fluctuations in the electron distribution
within atoms and molecules. All atoms or molecules experience London dispersion forces
Instantaneous Dipole
Partial positive and partial negative charges formed by temporary, random
fluctuations in electron distribution
Induced Dipole Moment
Partial positive and partial negative charges formed as the result of an
instantaneous dipole on a neighboring atom or molecule
Hydrogen Bonding
Hydrogen bonds occur between a hydrogen that is bonded to F, N, or O and the
lone pair of electrons of an F, N, or O atom in another molecule
Hydrogen Bond Donor
A hydrogen atom directly bonded to a F, O, or N atom
Hydrogen Bond Acceptor
An electronegative F, O, or N atom with a lone pair of electrons
Sublimation
Phase change from a solid to a gas.
Condensation
Phase change from a gas to a liquid.
Deposition
Phase change from a gas to a solid
Phase change from a gas to a solid
depostition
Triple Point
Conditions under which all three states (solid, liquid, and gas) are equally stable and in
equilibrium
Critical Point
Temperature and pressure above which a supercritical fluid exists
Supercritical Fluid
A substance that has the properties of both a liquid and a gas. Supercritical fluids
exist at high temperatures and pressures
Surface Tension
The tendency of liquids to minimize their surface area
