Kinetic Energy and Intermolecular Forces of Attraction Flashcards
what do intermolecular forces in solids and liquids do?
pulls the particles together, making them more attracted to each other depending on the strength of the force
what does kinetic energy in solids and liquids do?
keeps the particles at a distance and moving around
Kinetic energy is dependent on the ____ of the substance
temperature
Liquids have ____ volume but _____ shape
definite, no definite
Explain the particle behavior that makes liquids flow and assume the shape of the container
liquid particles are held together by strong intermolecular forces but not strong enough to keep them in a fixed position
kinetic energy is what makes them slide over and against eachother
Solids have ____ volume and _____ shape
definite, definite
atomic/ionic radius: increase/decrease in size across a period
related to the effective nuclear charge which pulls electrons towards the center of an atom
the repulsion between/among electrons in the lower energy levels that pushes the electrons in the outer shell away from the nucleus
shielding parameter
the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom
ionization affinity
The energy that an atom releases when it accepts an electron
electron affinity
The ability of an atom in a chemical bond to attract electrons towards itself
electronegativity
Why is it important to study the properties of solids and liquids?
They play an important role in our lives and when we know their properties, we can create them in forms that are useful in our lives.
Why is the kinetic molecular model essential in explaining the properties of matter?
because the KMM describes how the particles of matter interact, which can explain observable properties of matter such as pressure, temperature and volume.
How is the concept of intermolecular forces (IMF) significant to life?
IMF determine the physical properties of substances that are being studied and used in many fields.
How does the stoichiometry of solutions affect life?
Chemical calculations ensure the safety of materials by having the correct proportion in the combination of the constituent substances.
