Kinetic-macular theory
A list of postulates about gas
STP
Standard temperature and pressure: 273 K, 1 atm
Absolute Zero
The lowest possible temperature that can be reached
Molar volume
Volume of one mole of gas
Gas constant
R in the idea gas equation
Real Gas
Gases which behave like ideal gases under many ordinary conditions
Effusion
The movement of atoms or molecules through a hole so tiny that they do not stream through but pass through one by one
Barometer
A tool used to measure atmospheric pressure
Manometer
An instrument used to measure the pressure in a closed container
Condensed states
The states of matter that liquid and solid are in because they have higher densities than gas
Intramolecular forces
Forces that exist inside the molecule
Intermolecular forces
The forces of attraction between the neighboring molecules
Induced dipole
A dipole that is created by the presence of a neighboring dipole
Dispersion force
Force of attraction between induced dipoles
Dipole-dipole forces
Attractions between opposite charges of neighboring permanent dipoles
Hydrogen bond
A strong intermolecular force (not a covalent bond)
Viscosity
The frictions or resistance to motion that exists between the molecules of a liquid when they move past each other
Surface tension
The imbalance of forces at the surface of a liquid
Crystalline solid
A solid in which the representative particles exist in a highly ordered, repeating pattern
Amorphous solids
Substances that are rigid and appear solid but do not behave like crystalline solids
Covalent-network solids
A solid with a covalent bond that forms a network extending throughout the solid crystal
Phase change
The conversion of a substance from one of the three physical states of matter to another
Vaporization
Change of state from liquid to gas
