Chem II Exam 1 Flashcards
Potential Energy
Attractive forces draw particles together
Kinetic Energy
Movement disperses particles
Dynamic equilibrium
Molecs enter and exit a phase at the same rate
Vapor pressure
Pressure exerted by vapor on a liquid. Increases until equilibrium, then stays constant
Vapor pressure and temperature
Directly proportional
Vapor pressure and intermolecular forces
Inversely proportional
Boiling point
Temperature at which vapor pressure = external pressure
Ion dipole forces
Ion and dipole attract (ie ionic compound dissolves in water)
Dipole dipole forces
Attractive forces between opposite charged poles of 2 polar molecules
Dipole movement
How polar the molecule is
Hydrogen bond
Hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a small, highly electronegative atom with lone electron pairs (N, O, or F) attracts negatively charged molecules
Induced dipole
Nearby electric field induces distortion in electron cloud, inducing temporary dipole movement in nonpolar molecules and enhancing dipole movement in pokar molecules
Polarizability
Ease with which the electron cloud is distorted. Smaller molecules are less polarizable bc electrons are held tightly. Inc down group, dec across period
Dispersion force
Random instantaneous dipole in one molec induces dipole in another
Surface tension
Stronger forces, higher surface tension
