Intermolecular Forces
Forces holding molecules together in solids, liquids, and gases.
Plasma State
Highly ionized, electrically conductive gas with charged ions and free electrons.
Absolute Temperature
Temperature scale proportional to average kinetic energy per molecule.
Internal Energy
Total kinetic and potential energy sum in a system.
Specific Heat Capacity
Heat needed to raise 1kg of a substance by 1K.
Phase Change
Transition between solid, liquid, and gas states with constant temperature and kinetic energy.
Specific Latent Heat
Heat required for a phase change without temperature change.
Pressure
Normal force per unit area exerted by a gas.
Ideal Gas Equation
PV = nRT, where R = 8.31 J/mol/K.
Kinetic Model of an Ideal Gas
Assumptions and implications of the behavior of ideal gases.
Mole
Unit representing 6.022*10^23 atoms or molecules.
Molar Mass
Mass of 1 mole of any element or compound.
Avogadro’s Constant
6.022*10^23, representing the number of atoms or molecules in a mole.
