Properties of solids (5)
minimal deformability
holds shape
doesn't flow
particles are closely packed in fixed positions - fixed shape and volume
rigid - cannot be squashed, denser than liquids
Properties of plasma (6)
no fixed shape or volume
electrically conductive
compressible
low density
expands to fill space
will alway diffuse to surroundings
Properties of gas (6)
particles have large spaces in between - no fixed shape or volume
not rigid
compressible
low density
expands to fill space
will alway diffuse to surroundings
What are the 4 states of matter?
solid, liquid, gas and plasma
Properties of liquids (4)
takes shape of container
flow speed depends on viscosity
slightly compressible or expandable
sometimes diffusible
What 3 things contribute to what state a substance is in?
Chemical makeup, temperature and pressure
5 rules of significant figures
non-zero numbers are always significant
Zeros between non-zero numbers are always significant
All final zeros to the right os the decimal place are. significant
Zeros that act as placeholder are not significant. Convert quantities to scientific notation to remove the placeholder zeros.
Counting numbers and defined constants (the mole) have an infinite number of significant figures.
What is a polar covalent bond?
When electrons are shared unequally
What is electronegativity?
It is an atoms ability to attract a pair of electrons
Dipole-dipole characteristics (4)
opposite poles
can occur in both covalent bond and ionic bond
in molecules with dipole, electrons are pulled closer towards one atom than another
Based on electrostatic charges the particle positive attracts to the partial negative parts
Intramolecular
attraction within the same molecule
What 5 assumptions are made about the size, motion and energy of the particles?
All matter is made up of very small particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.)
All particles in a pure substance are the same; different substances are made of different types of particles
There is space between all particles
Particles are always moving randomly, and if they gain energy, they over faster
Particles are attracted to one another and the nature and strength of the forces of attraction depend on the type of particle
(London) dispersion forces characteristics (4)
All compounds can experience this
Weak forces resulting from temporary electron density shifts. Occurs will all types of particles
Due to the constant kinetic movement of particles, temporary dipoles can occur for a split second
electron density can “clump” onto one side
Hydrogen bonds characteristics (3)
a special type of dipole-dipole forces
occur between molecules that contain H-O, H-F, or H-N bonds (“F-O-N”)
bond is stronger than a “normal” dipole-dipole bond
What is Kinetic Molecular Theory?
It is the theory of “moving molecules”
Intramolecular bonds (2)
Ionic and covalent
Intermolecular bonds (3)
Dipole-dipole, hydrogen and dispersion forces (LDF)
Intermolecular
attraction between molecules

deposition
Endothermic

gas to liquid
condensation
solid to liquid
melting
Dynamic Equilibrium
If the water is in a closed container, the system will find a balance, and the number of molecules captured backed into the liquid
vapor pressure
the pressure exerted on a liquid by it's vapor
Normal Boiling Point
the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a substance equals atmospheric pressure
Atmospheric pressure
the weight of the atmosphere above
The more particles that are in the vapor phase…
the greater the vapor pressure
What is the range of kinetic energy for a liquid held at a constant temperature?
the liquid at the bottom has lower kinetic energy then more at the top
Evaporation
liquid particles escaping into the gas phase
Volatility
the ease with which a substance vaporizes
Which bond is most volatile?
London Dispersion Force
What must happen for internal vaporization to occur?
the vapor pressure must be big enough that particles can overcome the atmospheric pressure and lift up the water above and form a bubble
Which bond is least volatile?
hydrogen bonds
