FORCES OF ATTRACTION Flashcards
Knowledge of these molecular forces and their equilibrium is
important in understanding the:
- properties of gases, liquids, and gases
- interfacial phenomena
- flocculation in suspensions
- stabilization of emulsions
- compaction of powders in capsules
- dispersion of powders or liquid droplets in aerosols
- compression of granules to form tablets
aggregate to form molecules and
lattices.
Atom
aggregate to form
condensed phases of matter.
Molecules
The aggregation of atoms, appositively
charged ions, and molecules are a consequence
of _______ exerted on the electrons of
one particle by the nucleus (or nuclei) of the
other.
electrical forces
There are 2 types of attraction in molecules:
intramolecular & intermolecular forces of
attraction
anything related to drug attraction
Forces of Attraction in Pharmacy
is the strongest among molecular forces; irreversible; permanent binding
Covalent Bonding
surface tension
Repulsion
tensions within the surface
Interfacial tension
aggregation, implying for emulsions
Floccule
Atoms subunits
Proton, electrons, neutrons
forces that exist within
molecules or
fundamental/formula
units (forces that hold
atoms or ions in a
compound).
Intramolecular
forces of attraction that
exist between the
molecules in a
compound.
Intermolecular
Electrostatic force of attraction between
ions of opposite charge .
Ionic or Electrovalent Bond
Formed between atoms with a small difference in
electronegativity.
Covalent Bonds
