exam 1 Flashcards
states of matter are dictated by
intermolecular forces (IMF) attraction
stronger forces bring molecules…
closer together
kinetic energy keeps molecules
apart and moving
IMF solids
very strong
-melting points, malleability, ductility, conductivity
IMF liquids
strong/middle force
-boiling points, surface tension, viscosity, vapor pressure
IMF gas
essentially none
IMFs are results from
the mutual attraction of unlike charges (cations and anions) or the repulsion of like charges
IMFs are the bonds that
hold atoms together to form molecules
dipole moment
EN difference between two atoms in a bond
for a molecule to be polar
EN difference and the polar bonds cannot be canceled out
london dispersion forces (LDF)
occurs between ALL molecules and is the only IMF b/w two nonpolar molecules
LDFs are a result from
the motion of electrons that gives the molecule a temporary dipole moment
molecules with greater number of e- are more polarizable which means
they will have stronger LDFs
(LDF) loner, less compact molecules (w/ boiling points)
have higher boiling points
(LDF) more compact molecules (w/ boiling points)
have lower boiling points
Dipole-induced Dipole forces
occur between polar molecule and a nonpolar molecule
a temporary dipole is created
on a nonpolar molecule due to the influence of neighboring on a polar molecule
ion-dipole forces
occur between an ion and a polar molecule
-electrical interactions between an ion and the partial charges on a polar molecule
dipole-dipole forces
occur b/w polar molecules
result of electrical interactions among dipoles on neighboring molecules
as dipole-dipole moments increase the IMF force strength
increases
as the IMF force strength increases the boiling point and melting point
increases
hydrogen bonds
special dipole-dipole force
strongest IMF
attractive force b/w hydrogen and an EN atom (F,O,N) and an unshared electron pair on another EN atom
when comparing substances with comparable molecular sizes
dipole forces are usually more significant than dispersion
when comparing substances with very different molecular sizes
dispersion forces are usually more significant than dipole forces
