lesson 3 Flashcards
if we were to order solids, liquids and gas where does liquid exist?
somewhere between gas and solid but not midway.
why do phase changes happen?
because of the change in the force between molecules,
when does a matter change from solid to liquid?
when energy is added and the particles move faster.
when does a matter change from liquid to gas?
when more energy is added and the particles move faster.
phase changes and how they affect density.
matter becomes less dense the more energy it gains so solid is the most dense, liquid is somewhere in the middle and gas is least dense.
what are intramolecular forces?
the forces within a molecule. (e.g. ionic bond in NaCl)
what are intermolecular forces?
the forces between molecules.
compare intermolecular and intramolecular forces
intramolecular forces happen between molecules and are stronger than intermolecular forces.
intermolecular forces happen inside of a molecule.
give examples of intramolecular forces.
dipole-dipole forces
london dispersion force.
what is a dipole-dipole force?
forces between molecules that have a dipole moment.
what is a dipole moment?
molecules with polar bonds behave like an electrical field that has a positive and negative charge side.
what is hydrogen bonding?
it’s a bond between highly electronegative atom and hydrogen. and it is the strongest force.
what is the hydrogen bond affected by?
electronegativity and size.
why does size affect hydrogen bonds?
because it gives it gives the molecules an opportunity for a closer approach.
what are London dispersion forces?
instantaneous dipole that occur accidentally in a given atom induces a similar dipole in a neighboring atom
where do London dispersion forces occur
in all molecules but are most significant in larger atoms.
what do melting and boiling points depend on?
on the strength of intermolecular forces. as the strength of force increase so does the melting and boiling point.
compare dipole-dipole force to London dispersion force.
dipole-dipole: only in polar molecules that can have a dipole moment and smaller the size the stronger the bond.
london dispersion force: happens in all molecules (even non-polar) and is more common in larger molecules.
