1

Intramolecular Forces

Forces within a molecule, such as covalent bonds.

New cards
2

Intermolecular Forces (IMFs)

Forces between molecules, which are much weaker than intramolecular forces.

New cards
3

Polarizability

The ability of a molecule to form instantaneous temporary dipoles; larger electron clouds lead to higher polarizability.

New cards
4

London Dispersion Forces (LDFs)

The weakest type of IMF that exists between all molecules with electrons, more notable in non-polar covalent molecules.

New cards
5

Dipole-Dipole Forces

Forces that exist between polar molecules due to an uneven distribution of charge.

New cards
6

Hydrogen Bonding

A stronger type of dipole-dipole attraction that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.

New cards
7

Ion-Dipole Forces

Forces that occur when ions are attracted to the oppositely charged dipoles of a polar molecule.

New cards
8

Molecular Solids

Solids formed from molecules, held together by IMFs, with low melting points and not electrically conductive.

New cards
9

Covalent Network Solids

Solids formed from atoms held together by covalent bonds, having the highest melting points.

New cards
10

Ionic Solids

Solids formed from cations and anions held together by lattice energy, which are soluble in water.

New cards
11

Metallic Solids

Solids formed from metals, held together by a sea of electrons, and always electrically conductive.

New cards
12

Viscosity

The resistance to flow in liquids; related to the ease with which individual molecules can flow.

New cards
13

Surface Tension

A measurement of inward forces that must be overcome to break the surface of a liquid.

New cards
14

Capillary Action

The tendency of liquids to climb narrow tubes driven by adhesion and cohesion.

New cards
15

Meniscus

The curvature that exists at the surface of a liquid due to surface tension.

New cards
16

Vapor Pressure

The pressure that develops in the gas phase when a liquid is placed in a closed container.

New cards
17

Volatility

The ability of a substance to turn into a gas; related to vapor pressure.

New cards
18

Homogeneous Mixture

A mixture in which one substance is dissolved in another, such as seawater.

New cards
19

Dilution Equation

M1V1 = M2V2; used for calculating concentrations when mixing solutions.

New cards
20

Beer's Law

A = abc; describes the relationship between absorbance and concentration in solutions.

New cards
21

Distillation

The process of separating substances based on differences in boiling points.

New cards
22

Filtration

The process of separating solids from liquids using a porous membrane.

New cards
23

Chromatography

A technique for separating components of a mixture based on their relative polarities.

New cards
24

Ideal Gas Law

The equation PV = nRT that relates pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of gas.

New cards
25

Boyle’s Law

P1V1 = P2V2; describes the relationship between pressure and volume.

New cards
26

Charles’ Law

V1/T1 = V2/T2; describes the relationship between volume and temperature.

New cards
27

Gay-Lussac’s Law

P1/T1 = P2/T2; describes the relationship between pressure and temperature.

New cards
28

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures

States that the total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of individual gases.

New cards
29

Graham’s Law of Diffusion

States that heavier gases diffuse slower than lighter gases.

New cards
30

Kinetic Molecular Theory

A model that explains the behavior of ideal gases and their properties.

New cards
31

Maxwell-Boltzmann Diagrams

Probability distributions that describe the speed or energy of gas particles.

New cards
32

Triple Point

The condition at which solid, liquid, and gas phases exist in equilibrium.

New cards
33

Aqueous Solution

A solution in which water is the solvent.

New cards
34

Molarity (M)

A measure of concentration calculated as moles of solute divided by liters of solution.

New cards
35

Factors Affecting Vapor Pressure

Including IMFs, temperature, and molar mass; increased temperature usually increases vapor pressure.

New cards
36

IMFs and Physical Properties

As IMFs increase, molecules stick together more, affecting boiling points and melting points.

New cards
37

Allotropes

Different forms of an element in the same physical state, such as graphite and diamond.

New cards
38

Kinetic Energy and Temperature

As temperature increases, so does the kinetic energy of particles.

New cards
39

Pressure and Volume Relationship

The presence of extra gases does not change the volume of a rigid container.

New cards
40

Real vs. Ideal Gases

Real gases have volume and intermolecular forces; ideal gases do not.
