4.1 - properties of materials

exploration 1 - observing properties of compounds

  • ideas

    • materials have no overall charge because they have equal numbers of protons and electrons

    • electric force/Coulomb force - repulsions + attractions due to electric charge


  • ionic compounds - strong attractive forces hold ions tightly together —> high melting point

  • molecular compounds - attractive forces still exist —> low melting point



  • uneven molecular charges

    • electronegativity - tendency of an atom to pull electrons towards itself

    • nonpolar covalent bond - two atoms from the same element form a covalent bond, evenly sharing electrons

    • polarity - uneven distribution of particles in a molecule

      • polar molecule - a partial negative charge on one end, and a partial positive charge on the other —> poles

        • partial charge - unequal sharing (covalent bonds)

      • dipole - molecule w/ two poles

      • diatomic - having 2 atoms

      • 2+ atoms - polarity is determined by polarity of individual bonds + 3D arrangement of molecules

        • 3D arrangement - H2O molecule has 2 dipoles. Since it is bent, the arrangement isn’t symmetrical. —> water is highly polar b/c there are 2 unshared electrons on the oxygen atom

          • negative center of charge - around oxygen atom

          • positive center of charge - between 2 hydrogen atoms

          • BOTH RESULT IN HIGH SURFACE TENSION + BOILING POINT

  • dipole-dipole forces

    • heat = energy added to a system

    • KE increases in a liquid’s molecules and they move faster

    • boiling point - molecules move fast enough to overcome attractive forces between molecules —> pulling away from each other entering gas state

    • stronger forces are between molecules = higher boiling point

  • ICl is a polar molecule, whereas Br2 is nonpolar. The boiling point of ICl is likely to be higher than the boiling point of Br2. This is due to dipole-dipole interactions between positive and negative portions of polar molecules.

  • dipole-induced dipole - attraction is a weak attraction that occurs when a polar molecule causes a dipole to form in an atom or nonpolar molecule by disrupting the electron configuration in the nonpolar atom.

  • A dipole-induced dipole interaction is much weaker than a dipole-dipole interaction because the electrons in the nonpolar atom are shifted to one side of the nucleus in a way that is not sustainable. The shift lasts for only an instant because electrons are in constant motion. —> needs to be balanced?

  • hydrogen bonding

    • hydrogen compounds have unusually high boiling points

    • bonded to a highly electronegative atom —> pulls electron almost completely away—> strong partial positive charge —> polar

  • ATTRACTION BETWEEN MOLECULES WITH HYDROGEN IN IT!!!

  • properties of water

    • relatively small mass/size

    • surface tension

    • climbs up tube - CAPILLARY ACTION

    • bubble shape —> cohesion between molecules

    • expands when frozen —> loses KE = more bonds forming —> fixed distance

    • liquid—>gas = broken bond

  • The amount of space between molecules in solid water is GREATER than that of liquid water. Density of solid water is LESS than that of liquid water. Substances with lower density FLOAT in substances with higher density.

    5. combustion - CxHx + 02 —> CO2 + H20

      • chemical energy in the reactants is converted to thermal energy when the fuel is ignited. The fuel reacts with oxygen in the air to form the products carbon dioxide and water. Using combustion engines leads to a increase in the amount of energy stored in earths atmosphere.
