Chemistry Liquids and Solids Flashcards
Because of their smaller volume relative to ___, liquids and solids are also referred to as condensed phases
gases
Gases are easily compressed to ___ volume
smaller
The movement of a ___ can be defined as viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow
liquid
In other words, ___ describes the internal friction of a moving fluid
viscosity
The degree to which two ___ can mix is called their miscibility
liquids
Under extreme conditions, such as violent shaking, two immiscible __ can form a fairly homogenous mixture called on emulsion
liquids
The particles’ only motion is ___ about fixed positions, and the kinetic energy of solids is predominantly vibrational energy
vibration
A crystalline solid, such as NaCl, possesses an ordered structure; its atoms exist in a specific, three-dimensional ___ with repeating patterns of atoms, ions, or molecules
geometric arrangement
An amorphous ___, such as glass, has no ordered three-dimensional arrangement, although the molecules are also fixed in place
solid
___ are aggregates of positively and negatively charged ions; there are no discrete molecules
ionic slids
The physical properties of ___ include high melting points, high boiling points, and poor electrical conductivity in the solid phase
ionic solids
Crystals both ionic and metallic) are defined by their ___, which represent the smallest repeating units that compose the larger crystalline structure
unit cells
The ___ are the most important; simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic
cubic cells
The heat Q gained or lost by a substance when the ___ of that substance is changed by T is given by:
Q = mcdeltaT=mc(T sub f - T sub i)
where m is the mass of the object and c is a constant called the specific heat
temperature
The ___ is defined as the amount of heat required to raise a unit mass of a substance 1 K or 1 degree Celsius and depends solely on the material of the object
