CHEM (DEF OF TERMS) Flashcards
This is a homogenous part of the system in contact with other parts of the system but separated from them by a well-defined boundary.

Deposition
Enumerate the kinds of intermolecular forces based on strength.
- Ion-dipole
- Hydrogen bond
- Dipole-dipole
- London dispersion
This is an IMF (Intermolecular Force) between an ion an a polar molecule.
Ion-dipole
This is an IMF between H and either the elements N, O, or F.
Hydrogen bond
This is an IMF between polar molecules.
Dipole-dipole
This an IMF that arises as a results of temporary dipoles induced in atoms or molecules.
Dispersion forces
This is the case with which the electron distribution in the atom or molecule can be distorted.
Polarizability
A property of liquid that requires a certain amount of energy to stretch or increase surface of a liquid by a unit area.
Surface Tension
A property of liquid that is the intermolecular attraction between LIKE molecules.
Cohesion
A property of liquid that is the attraction between UNLIKE molecules.
Adhesion
A property of liquid that is the measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow.
Viscocity
A property of solid that is rigid and has a long-range order where atoms, molecules, or ion occupy specific predictable positions.
Crystalline Solid
A property of solid that doesn’t possess a well-defined arrangement and long-range molecular order.
Amorphous Solid
The basic repeating structural unit of a crystallin solid.
Unit Cell
A kind of crystal that is held together by electrostatic attraction.
Ionic crystals
A kind of crystal that is held together by covalent bonds.
Covalent crystals
A kind of crystal that is held together by intermolecular forces,
Molecular crystals
A kind of crystal that is held together by metallic bonds.
Metallic crystals
