H.Chemistry final Flashcards
Explains the behavior of particles in terms of their motions
Kinetic theory
Energy of motion
Kinetic energy
4 properties of gases:
1-negligible volume
2-move in rapid, constant straight-line motion
3-Collide elastically
4-far apart with no attractive or repulsive force
Collision in which no kinetic energy is lost.
Elastic collision
Measure of average kinetic energy
Temperature
The _____________ the temperature, the _____ moving particles.
Higher
Faster
Temperature at which the motion of the particles theoretically ceases.
Absolute zero
Simultaneous collisions of billions of molecules within an object
Pressure
Force is created by _____.
Collisions
Pressure=?
Force
________
Area
Empty space, no collisions
Vacuum
Air molecule collisions
Atmospheric pressure
Typical sea level pressure
ATM
Barometric reading
mm Hg
Forces within a compound that hold it together
Intramolecular forces
Forces between compounds that hold these compounds together.
Intermolecular forces
Which two phases are fluid?
Liquids and gases
Why are liquids more dense than gases?
Because they have attractive forces
Temperature that a solid turns into a liquid
Melting point
The stronger the intermolecular force the _______ the melting point
Higher
Temperature at which a solid melts at 1.00 ATM atmosphere(101.3kPa) of pressure.
Normal melting point
Process of a liquid changing to a gas or vapor
Vaporization
Liquid to gas below boiling point
Happens only on the surface
Evaporation
How many particles escape during evaporation to become a gas
Only particles moving fast enough
