1
New cards

The kinetic molecular theory

describes the behavior of matter in terms of particles of motion

2
New cards

Particle size

Gas consists of small particles separated from one another by empty space without attraction or repulsion between them

3
New cards

Particle motion

Gas particles are in random, constant motion until they collide with another particle. These collisions are elastic

4
New cards

elastic

meaning that no kinetic energy is lost, but is transferred between colliding particles

5
New cards

Particle energy

Kinetic energy of a particle depends on the mass and the velocity of the particle

6
New cards

Temperature

the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter

As temperature increases, molecular motion increases

7
New cards

Expansion

due to empty space between particles, gases fill and size or shaped container

8
New cards

Compression

Gas particles can be squeezed closer together because of the empty space between them

Gases are the only compressible state of matter

9
New cards

Fluidity

Due to the weak attractive forces, gases have the ability to flow, making them fluids (liquids are also fluids)

10
New cards

What state of matter is the least dense?

Gases

11
New cards

Diffusion

the movement of one material through another

12
New cards

Effusion

when gas escapes through a tiny opening

13
New cards

Liquids (medium density)

Can only exist within a narrow temperature and pressure range

these are the LEAST common state of matter

14
New cards

Description of a Liquid

  1. No defined shape

  2. Particles are in constant motion

  3. Particles are closer and lower in energy than gas particles

  4. Attractive forces of liquids are stronger than gases

  5. Liquids are more orderly than gases

15
New cards

What states of matter are fluids?

Gases and liquids are fluids, since they can flow and diffuse

16
New cards

Diffusion Rate in Liquids vs. Gases

liquids diffuse slower than gases, even at the same temperature

Diffusion rate does increase with temperature, but liquids are still slower than gases

17
New cards

Viscoscity

the measure of resistance to flow

18
New cards

What is viscosity determined by?

the type of intermolecular forces, size of the particles, as well as shape of the particles.

19
New cards

Surface Tension

the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a given amount

It is also a measure of the inward pull by particles in the interior

20
New cards

What do surfactants do?

Surfactants lower surface tension of water

21
New cards

Cohesion

the force of attraction between identical molecules

22
New cards

Adhesion

the force of attraction between different molecules

23
New cards

Capillary Action

upward movement of liquid into a narrow cylinder (known as a capillary tube)

24
New cards

When is something dissolved?

Something is ONLY dissolved when one physical state is observed

25
New cards

What affects the rate of diffusion

Temperature, State of Matter, Particle Size/Mass and Pressure

26
New cards

Boiling and Evaporation

Boiling occurs throughout the entire liquid Evaporation occurs only at the surface

27
New cards

Where does Evaporation occur?

occurs only at the surface of the liquid and can happen at any temperature

28
New cards

Description of a Solid

  1. Particles in a solid vibrate in fixed positions

  1. Particles in a solid have strong attractive intermolecular forces

29
New cards

Crystalline Solid

have particles arranged in an orderly, geometric structure

consist of unit cells

30
New cards

Amorphous Solid

the particles are not arranged in regular, repeating patterns

does NOT contain crystals

31
New cards

unit cells

the smallest arrangement of atoms with the same symmetry as the whole

32
New cards

Properties of Crystalline Solids

Particles arranged in a repeating, orderly pattern

Have a definite melting point

33
New cards

Amorphous Solids

Particles arranged randomly with no pattern

No definite melting point

34
New cards

Amorphous and Crystalline Similarity

They both have a defined shape and volume

This means they are NOT fluid since everything is held in fixed positions

35
New cards

Density of Solid (most dense)

Most solids are more dense than liquids.

The only exception is water, where solid ice is less dense than liquid water.

36
New cards

Incompressible and Slow Diffusion Rate of Solids

Solids are incompressible and do not diffuse due to their fixed particles

37
New cards

What property of gas makes them take the shape of their container?

Fluidity

38
New cards

What type of solid does not have a symmetric arrangement?

Amorphous solids

39
New cards

What property of liquids makes them stick to a solid?

Adhesion

40
New cards

Types of Crystalline Solids

Ionic Solid, Covalent Network, Metallic, Covalent Molecular

41
New cards

Ionic Solid (2nd strongest)

positive and negative ions

Ionic Bonds - stronger bonding forces

Hard and brittle with high melting point

Example: NaCl (table salt)

42
New cards

Covalent Network (3rd strongest)

atoms share electrons with neighboring atoms

Covalent bonds - strong bonding forces

Hard and brittle with high melting points

Example- Diamond

43
New cards

Metallic (strongest)

Sea of Electrons - force between atoms of same metal element

High electrical conductivity

Wide range of boiling and melting points

Example: Cu, Fe, Au

44
New cards

Covalent Molecular (weakest)

Covalently bonded molecules held together by Intermolecular Forces

Intermolecular Forces are weaker than ionic and metallic
