The Condensed State Flashcards
Network Covalent
attractions of valence electrons on atom to the nuclear charge on a neighboring atom
Metallic
metal cation attractions in a sea of electrons
ionic
attractions between cations and anions resulting from an exchange of electrons
Molecular
attractions of partial positive and partial negative charges between discrete molecules. either permanently or temporary, always called inter molecular forces
london dispersion
Temporary dipoles attract very weakly. Strength of LD increases with size and contact area. Everything experiences these. Low melting/boiling points.
Dipole-Dipole
Partial negative charge on one molecule interacts with the partial positive charge on another. Permanent.
Hydrogen bonding
H to F,N,O. Dominant force.
What makes something a conductor
if its electrons are free to move around
metallic structural integrity
malleable and ductile
ionic structural integrity
brittle
network covalent/molecular structural integrity
varies
vapor pressure and imfs
inverse relationship
when do things boil
when vapor pressure is equal to barometric pressure
Size, electron density, polarizability, temporary dipole moment, LD strength
direct
Surface Tension
A liquid tends to shrink itself to get the most of it onto the surface as possible. As IMFs increase, so does surface tension
Capillary action
a substance moving up the sides of the container
structural unit of metallic
metal ions at lattice points with a sea of freely moving electrons
structural unit of ionic
alternating positive and negative ions held in a rigid lattice
structural unit of covalent
independent molecules held together by imfs
structural unit of network covalent
continuous network of atoms convalently bonded to one another
