Physical properties Flashcards
1
Q
what physical properties trend between covalent substances
A
melting point, boiling point, non conduction/conduction of electricity, solubility
2
Q
molecules with stronger intermoleculer forces…
A
have higher melting and boiling points, reflecting the amount of energy required to break them
3
Q
molecules in a solid matter are solid because
A
they do not have enough energy to overcome the intermoleculer forces that hold the molecules together
4
Q
melting point
A
when molecules transition into a liquid state whcih has weaker intermoleculer forces
5
Q
boiling point
A
when molecules completely overcome intermolecular forces and transition into a gaseous state
