chp 14 test Flashcards
intermolecular forces vs intramolecular forces
intermolecular- between molecules, much weaker than intramolecular forces (dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonds)
intramolecular- within a molecule (ionic, covalent, metallic)
intramolecular forces
forces that exist within a molecule
intermolecular forces
attractive forces between molecules
neutral atom
equal number of protons and electrons
how can an atom lose its symmetry?
electrons can randomly move to one side
a charged object near the atom can cause the electrons to shift
what is the result of lost symmetry in an atom?
a dipole
dipole
a mole in which the positive and negative charges are not evenly distributed
induced dipole
one dipole can cause a neighboring atom to turn into a dipole; a neighboring atom of a dipole that becomes a dipole because of the neighboring dipole
resulting dipoles attract to each other
(london) dispersion force
force of attraction between two neighboring temporary dipoles
partial charges on atom cause blank dipoles
permanent
dipole-dipole forces
attractions between neighboring permanent dipoles
why are dipole-dipole forces much stronger than dispersion forces?
because they result from permanent (not temporary) dipoles
hydrogen bond
a really strong dipole-dipole force
weakest to strongest IF
dispersion forces
dipole-dipole forces
hydrogen bonds
particles of a liquid
are in constant random motion are sliding past each other are tightly packed are able to change positions are NOT able to separate from one another
what are properties of liquids determined by?
nature and strength of IF between the particles
properties of liquids
definite volume- due to strong IF preventing them from separating
are fluids- IF are weak enough to allow liquids to flow
high density- IF are strong and the particles are tightly packed
incompressible- IF forces are sting and the particles are tightly packed
ability to dissolve- many solid will disolve in many liquids; IF are weak enough to allow the particles to move past each other
ability to diffuse- IF are weak enough to allow the particles to move past each other
tendency to evaporate
tendency to solidify
surface tension
viscosity
surface tension
a force that pulls adjacent molecules on the surface of a liquid together
relationship between surface tension and IF (and temp)
the greater the strength of the IF, the higher the surface tension
if temp increases, IF are weakened, surface tension decreases
viscosity
the friction or resistance to motion, between particles of a liquid as they move past each other
