Unit 2: Energy Flashcards
What is an Intra-molecular Force?
A force that acts within a molecule
Two types of intra-molecular bonds? + Characteristics
Covalent Bonds (e- are shared): Strongest bond, lot's of energy needed to break,
Ionic Bonds (e- are transferred): Very strong, +/- attraction
Both are Potential/STORED energy (Ep)
What is an Inter-molecular Force?
A force that acts between molecules
What is the difference between Strong/Weak intermolecular forces?
Strong: High melting/boiling point. Liquids or solids
Weak: Low melting/boiling point. Gaseous
What are the three kinds of intermolecular forces?
1) London Dispersion
2) Dipole Dipole
3) Hydrogen Bonding
London Dispersion
- Weakest bond of the three
- Also known as an instantaneous dipole
- All molecules have this
- Non-polar molecules
- More e-, more attraction (more valence shells = larger force)
Dipole-Dipole
- Second strongest
- Only occurs in polar molecules
- Positive and negative ends of molecules attract
Hydrogen Bond
- Occurs between Hydrogen and Fluorine, Oxygen, Nitrogen (due to high electronegativity)
- Strongest
Potential Energy (Ep)
- Chemical energy
- Stored energy in the bonds within and between molecules
- Ep changes in phase change without temperature change
- Change in intramolecular bonds
Kinetic Energy (Ek)
- Energy of motion of atoms, ions, and molecules
- Translational, Rotational, Vibrational motion
- Temperature dependent
- Changes in intermolecular bonds
Thermochemistry
Study of energy/heat transfers of chemical and physical processes
Heat
Form of energy that flows between two samples at different temperatures
2nd law of thermodynamics?
-Heat is spontaneously transferred from hot to cold until it reaches thermal equilibrium
What is the source of all energy?
The sun
Temperature
- average kinetic energy of the molecules
- not the total energy
- only energy of the RANDOM MOVEMENT
- Higher temperature = faster particle movement
Thermal Energy
Measure of total kinetic heat energy
-Heat + Temp
How are heat and temperature interchangeable?
If something absorbs heat energy, the temperature will increase (excluding phase change)
What are Condensed phases?
- When particles are close together
- Solids and liquids
- Held by INTERmolecular forces`
Solid phase
- Strong intermolecular bonds
- ONLY vibrational motion
- Particles packed together, super dense
Liquid phase
- Enough kinetic energy to break the SOME intermolecular bonds
- Vibrational, rotational, and translational motion
- Loosely bond
Gases phase
- So much kinetic energy that intermolecular bonds become negligible
- Little vibrational, rotational, but mostly translational motion
- Particles are far apart
Heat capacity + Units
- Measure of energy required to raise that amount of a substance by 1 degree
- Can change depending on amount of substance
- (J/Celcius)
Molar Heat Capacity, what can it tell us? + Units
- How much heat energy is required to raise 1 mol of a substance 1 degrees
- Allows comparance of the energy required for different substances to heat/cool
- (J/mol x Celcius)
Specific Heat Capacity + Units
- How much heat energy is required to raise 1 g of a substance 1 degrees
- (J/g x Celcius)
