CHEM Exam Flashcards
attractive forces between molecules/particles in the solid or liquid states
Intermolecular Forces
weak intermolecular force
Van Der Waals
holds atom together in a molecule
Intramolecular Forces
strongest polar
one end of dipole attracts oppositely charged end of another
↳between polar molecules opposite polar compound
polar, boiling point
Dipole-Dipole Forces
hydrogen + highly electronegative non metal atom H+N/F/O
Hydrogen Bonding
explains solubility of ionic compounds in water
Ion-Dipole Forces
“Dipole-induced Dipole Attraction”
weakest
same element
London-Dispersion
atoms/ion/molecules are ordered in well-defined arrangements
flat surfaces/faces that make definite angles.
I regular shapes
Crystalline Solid
-particles have no orderly structure
-blacks well-derived faces/shapes
-mixture of molecules that do not stack together well
-large complicated molecules
-intermolecular forces vary at strength
-soften over a temperature range
-does not melt at a specific temperature
Amorphous Solid
Examples of Crystalline Solids
Quartz
Mica
Calcium Fluoride
Snowflakes
Bismuth
Calcite
Sugar
Mica
Diamonds
Rock
Silicon Dioxide
Examples of Amorphous Solids
Glass
Plastics
Gels
Rubber
Amorphous Metals
pitch
Foams
Thin Film Coatings
silicon Dioxide
*some types of wax (in certain forms)
alloys cooled rapidly to prevent crystal formation
-used in electrical applications; high-strength materials
*amorphous metals (metallic glasses)
used in optics & electronics, such as anti-reflective coatings
Thin Film Coatings
viscous, tar-like substance
Pitch
Definition of amorphous and crystalline
Amorphous
lacks crystalline structure
Crystalline
ordered structure and symmetry
Repeating unit of amorphous and crystalline
Amorphous
no repeating unit
Crystalline
one repeating unit
Melting point of amorphous and crystalline
Amorphous
No sharp melting point
Crystalline
has a sharp melting point
Chemical nature of amorphous and crystalline
Amorphous
Anisotropic
Crystalline
Isotropic
-tension of a surface film due to the attraction of the molecules of the surface than another substance
-allows object with high density to float on water without submerging
Surface Tension
