module 11 to 13 Flashcards
Describes the behavior of matter in terms of particles in motion.
Kinetic-molecular theory
A collision between gases in which no energy is lost
elastic collision
measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter.
temperature
Movement of one material through another.
diffusion
states that the rate of effusion/diffusion for a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass.
Graham’s law of effusion
Force per unit area
pressure
Used to measure atmospheric pressure.
barometer
SI unit of pressure; equal to one newton per square meter
pascal
Equal to 101.3 Kilopascal (kPa)
atmosphere
States that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of pressures of all gases in the mixture.
Dalton’s law of partial pressures
Weak forces that result from temporary shifts in the density of the electrons in electron clouds.
dispersion force
Attractions between oppositely charged regions of polar molecules
dipole-dipole force
A dipole-dipole attraction that occurs between molecules containing a hydrogen atom bonded to a small, highly electronegative atom with at least one lone electron pair.
hydrogen bond
Measure of the resistance of a liquid to flow.
viscosity
The energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a given amount.
surface tension
Compounds that lower the surface tension of water
surfactant
solid whose atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in an orderly, geometric structure
crystalline solid
The smallest arrangement of atoms in a crystal lattice
unit cell
Elements that exist in different forms at the same state.
allotrope
Solids not arranged in a regular, repeating pattern; the opposite of crystalline solids
amorphous solid
The temperature at which the forces that hold the crystal lattice of a solid together are broken and becomes a liquid.
melting point
Process by which a liquid changes to a gas or vapor.
vaporization
When vaporization only occurs only at the surface of a liquid.
evaporation
The pressure exerted by a vapor over a liquid is called
vapor pressure
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external or atmospheric pressure
boiling point
