Chem/Phys Exam III Flashcards
4 physical states of matter
Solid, liquid, gas, plasma
Solids
-have a definite shape and volume
-have a movement (vibrate)
—molecules are touching and do not separate
-held in place by intermolecular forces
-non-compressible
Liquid
- Definite volume, no definite shape
- molecule are touching but have more movement
- intermolecular forces are weaker and allow the molecules to slide past each other
- non-compressible
Gases
- have no definite shape or volume
- expand to fill the container
- molecules are not touching and have more movement
- no intermolecular forces
- Compressible
Heat of Fusion
Amt. of E necessary to melt a solid int liquid phase
Heat of Vaporization
Ant. of E necessary to vaporize a liquid into gas phase
3 types of intermole-cular forces
London dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding
Dipole -dipole forces
-polar molecule
Ex: acetone
-boiling point 56C, liquid @room temp
Hydrogen bonding
- polar molecular
- Strongest type of dipole bond
- boiling point 100C, liquid @room temp
London dispersion forces
- non-polar molecule
- ex. CH4
- weakest type of inter-molecular bond
- boiling pt. -164, gas @room temp
Type of Bond
Ionic and Covalent
Ionic Bond
- one atom donates electron to another
- ex: Na+ and CL-= NaCL
Covalent bond
-atoms share electrons
Ex. H+ and O- = H2O
Hydrogen Bonding occurs when:
- a H atom is bonded directly to O, N or F
Surfactant Lowers
Surface tension
