unit 4 states of matter solid liquid phase changes Flashcards
Crystalline solid
Well ordered matter in a solid
Pattern within solid repeats itself
Amorphous solids
Do not have extensive ordering
Four types of crystalline solids
- Molecular
- Ionic
- Covalent
- Metallic
what are Molecular solids held together by?
Molecules held together by intermolecular forces
what are Covalent network solids? what are they held together by?
Extended structures of atoms held together by covalent bonds
what are Metallic solids? what are they held together by?
Metallic bonds
Cations in a sea of delocalized electrons
what are ionic solids held together by?
Held together by electrostatic attraction between a cation and anion
Liquids are molecular meaning
Intermolecular forces strong enough to keep particles close to one another but not strong enough to keep them from moving past one another
Surface tension
Amount of energy needed to expand a liquid
What causes surface tension
Intermolecular forces from down below
What are intermolecular forces like when surface tension occurs?
All directional
Cohesive forces
forces between molecules
Adhesive forces
forces between molecules and container
Sublimination
Solid to gas
Desposition
Gas to solid
