States if matter and the KMS study guide Flashcards
The phase of a substance is dependent on…
its energy
The KMT of matter is based on…
the idea that partciles of matter are always in motion
Solids have a…
constant volume and shape
-particles are held in rigid, crystalline structure
Liquids have a..
constant volume but changing shape
-particles are mobile but still held together by strong attraction
Gases have…
no set volume or shape
-particles have broken free of forces holding them toegtehr
Attractive forces between particles are greatest in…
solids
Attractive forces between particles are weakest in…
gases
The KMT of Gases postulates (5):
-Continuous random motion
-elastic collisions
-temp of gas directly proportional to average KE of particles
-no forces of attraction btwn particle s
-no volume compared to distance betwn them (0 volume)
(KMT of gases) What causes an increase in collisions:
-more particles added
-increase in temp
-gases expand to fill containers (same shape/voluem)
-gases are fluids
-pressure exetred when partciles hit sides
The KMT of gases applies to…
ideal gases
(KMT of gas) Diffusion:
the spontaneous mixture of the particles of 2 subtances caused by random motion
(KMT of gas) Effusion:
process of gas particles passing through tiny opening
(KMT of liquid) Fluid:
substance that can flow and takes shape of container
(KMT of liquids) Liquids are a form of matter that has…
definite volume and changing shape
liquids also diffuse but…
much slower than gases. (they can move.diffuse throughout and other liquid that it cna dissolve in)
(KMT of solids) particles of solids are reflected in the…
orderly arrangement of solid particles
(KMT of Solids) the intermolecular forces attraction are much…
stronger than liwuids or gas and solids have lowest amnt of KE
(KMT of solids) Two types of solids:
1.Crystalline
2. Amorphous
Density:
solids are more closely packed together than liqudis or gases (higher)
Compressibility:
solids are incompressible
Fluidity:
solid particles vibrate around a fixed position and do NOT flow
Crystalline:
ionic crystal lattice consisting of + and - ions arranged in a repeating pattern
Amorphous:
(w/o shape) particles are not arranged in a particular order
Phase:
part of a system that has uniform composition and prop. (solid,liquid, gas)
