Solids, Liquids, And Gases Flashcards
Ionic bond
A bond formed from the transfer of electrons
Covalent bond
A bond formed when two atoms share elections so they can satisfy the octet rule
Solid
Particles vibrate but don’t move past each other
Definite shape
Definite volume
Liquid
Particles move by sliding past each other
Indefinite shape
Definite volume
Gas
Particles separate and move throughout container
Indefinite shape
Indefinite volume
Pressure
Symbol- P
Measured in- atm or kPa
Ideal gas
PV=nRT P= atm or kPa V= L n= mol R= 8.31(kPa) or 0.0821(atm) T= K
Barometer
A way to measure pressure which contains a vacuum Mercury column and atmospheric pressure
Absolute zero
The lowest temperature that is theoretically possible
Kinetic molecular theory
Describes the motion of particles
Standard temperature and pressure
1 atm and 0 degrees C
