Part 8 Flashcards
when bonds are broken what occurs?
endothermic rxn
+delta H
when bonds are formed what occurs?
exothermic rxn
+delta H
aggregates of positively and negatively charged ions are …?
ionic solids
what are the physical properties of ionic solids? why so?
high melting point, high boiling point, poor electrical conduction in solid phase.
(due to strong electrostatic interactions)
what is a metallic solid?
consists of metal atoms packed together as closely as possible
what are the physical properties of metallic solids? why so?
high melting points, high boiling points
due to strong covalent interactions

are most solids crystalline or amorphous?
crystalline
what are the two most common forms of crystals ? (solid structure)
metallic and ionic
vapor pressure increases as ______ increases.
vapor pressure increases as temperature increases
the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the external pressure is called what?
boiling point
