kinetic molecular theory Flashcards
forces within a molecule-bonding type
ex. ionic, covalent
Intramolecular
forces between molecules
ex. ionic, london dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding
Intermolecular
exist between “molecules” that contain ionic bonds
result from electrostatic charges within the compound
opposite charges attract
strongest type of intermolecular force
ionic forces
exist between noble gas atoms and nonpolar molecules
weakest
temporary- as electrons move around the nucleus, a momentary asymmetrical distribution of electrons can occur (provides a temporary dipole)
the instantaneous dipole can induce a similar dipole in a neighboring atom
London Dispersion forces
the attraction of the positive end of one polar molecule to the negative end of another polar molecule
Dipole-Diplole forces
a particularly strong type of dipole-dipole force that occurs when hydrogen is attached to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. Water is an example of a substance in which ______ occurs.
Hydrogen Bonding
resistance of a liquid to increase in surface area
measure of the inward forces
liquids with high intermolecular forces have high….?
Surface Tension
spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube
caused by cohesive and adhesive forces
Capillary action
intermolecular forces among liquid molecules
Cohesive forces
attraction between unlike molecules
Adhesion
when water is placed in a glass graduated cylinder, the meniscus is concave
adhesive forces > cohesive forces
when mercury is placed in the same graduated cylinder, the meniscus is convex
cohesive forces > adhesive forces (mercury contains only dispersion forces- nonpolar)
Example of capillary action
a resistance to flow
strong intermolecular forces result in high viscosity
large molecules also have high viscosity due to greater LD forces
as temperature increases, viscosity decreases
Viscosity
temperature at which the solid and liquid have the same vapor pressure
Melting point
temperature at which the vapor pressure is equal to 1 atm (atmospheric pressure)
boiling point
Melting and boiling points are higher when…
the intermolecular forces are stronger
