QUIZ 12.1 - 12.2 Flashcards
describes the behavior of matter in terms of particles in motion
kinetic-molecular theory
a collision in which no kinetic energy is lost
elastic collision
the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter
temperature
term used to describe the movement of one material through another
diffusion
states that the rate of effusion for a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass
Grahams law of effusion
defined as force per unit area
pressure
instrument use to measure atmospheric pressure
barometer
equal to a force of one newton per square meter
pascal
equal to 760mm Hg or 760 Torr or 101.3 kilopascals
atmosphere
the weak forces that result from temporary shifts in the density of electrons in electron clouds
dispersion forces
dipole-dipole attraction that occurs between molecules containing a hydrogen atom bonded to a samll, highly electronegative atom with at least one electron pair,
hydrogen bond
