Q

Why do gases expand?

A

Since gases are widely separated particles their average energy of attraction between the particles is smaller than average energy of the particles and since there isnt strong attraction between the particles the gas expands

In all molecules & increase

30
Q

Adhesive forces

A

Intermolecular forces that bind a substance to a surface

31
Q

Ion - Dipole Force

A

Exist between an ion & the partial charge on the end of a polar molecule

32
Q

When a molecule has a high boiling point it means what?

A

Their intermolecular attractions are stronger

33
Q

Why do liquids take the shape of a container?

A

The intermolecular forces are strong enough to hold particles close together but not strong enough to keep them from moving past one another, which allows for liquids to take shapes of a container

34
Q

Heat of sublimtion

A

Energy required to cause a solid to transform directly into a gas

35
Q

Cohesive forces

A

Intermolecular forces bind similar molecules to one another

36
Q

The strength of the dispersion forces depends on what?

A

The polarizability of a molecule

Surface Tension

A

The energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid

38
Q

Capillary Action

A

The rise of liquids up a very narrow tube

39
Q

The state of a substance depends on the balance between the _____ of the particles & ______ energy of attraction

A

Kinetic Energy & Interparticle energy of attraction

40
Q

What do the interparticle attraction do?

A

Tend to draw the particles together

41
Q

Heat of fusion

A

Energy required to melt a substance

42
Q

As temp. decreases so does ________ of the particles, which allows the attraction between the particles to 1st draw the particles together to form liquids & solids

A

Kinetic Energy

43
Q

Viscosity

A

The resistance of a liquid to flow

44
Q

Nonpolar, low molecular weight, & weak intermolecular forces have lower _______ & ______ than molecules that are polar & higher molecular weight

A

Lower Critical temp & pressure

45
Q

Solids & Liquids are ______ because the particles in a solid & liquid are fairly close together when compared to gases

A

Condensed Phases

46
Q

Dynamic Equilibrium

A

Occurs when evaporation of a liquid & condensation occur at equal rates

47
Q

Dipole - Dipole Forces

A

Are weaker than ion - Dipole Attraction and cause when neutral polar molecules attract rach other when the positve end of one molecule is near the negative end of another

48
Q

What are the 3 types of intermolecular forces that are usually called van der waals forces?

A
  1. Dipole -Dipole Attractions
  2. London Dispersion Forces
  3. Hydrogen Bonds
49
Q

London dispersion forces

A

When the temporary dipole in one atom can induce a similar temporary dipole on an adjacent atom causing the atoms to become attracted to one another

50
Q

Critical Temperature

A

The highest temp. at which a liquid phase can be formed

51
Q

Dipole -dipole add to disperison forces & depend on what?

A

Polarity

52
Q

Viscosity increases as what increase?

A

AS molecular weight increase ( The greater the visvcosity the slower the liquid moves)
