  • The theory that assumes that gases consist of widely separated molecules of negligible volume that are in constant motion, colliding elastically with one another and the walls of their container with average velocities determined by their absolute temperatures.
    Kinetic Molecular Theory
  • When solids or liquids are heated up, the kinetic energy of their particles increases causing them to move faster.
  • Intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together within a
    molecule. Intermolecular forces are forces that exist between molecules.
  • Kinetic Energy is the energy of particles in motion. It keeps the particles apart from each other. It counters the effect of intermolecular forces and it is proportional to the increase in temperature.
  • This bond is formed by the complete transfer of valence
    electron(s) between atoms.
    Ionic bond
  • This bond is formed by the complete transfer of valence
    electron(s) between atoms.
    Ionic bond
  • In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
  • This bond is formed between atoms that have similar
    electronegativities—the affinity or desire for electrons.
    Covalent bond
  • Because both atoms have similar affinity for electrons and neither has a tendency to donate them, they share electrons in order to achieve octet configuration and become more stable.

    Covalent bond
  • A nonpolar covalent bond is formed between same atoms or
    atoms with very similar electronegativities—the difference in
    electronegativity between bonded atoms is less than 0.5.
  • A polar covalent bond is formed when atoms of slightly different electronegativities share electrons. The difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms is between 0.5 and 1.9.
  • This type of covalent bonding specifically occurs between atoms of metals, in which the valence electrons are free to move through the
    lattice.
    Metallic bond
  • This bond is formed via the attraction of the mobile electrons—referred to as sea of electrons—and the fixed positively charged metal ions.
    Metallic bond
  • What are the 3 types of intramolecular forces?
    Ionic, Covalent, Metallic
  • What are the 3 types of Intermolecular forces?
    London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, hydrogen bonding
  • result from the coulombic interactions between instantaneous dipoles. Dispersion forces are present between all molecules (and atoms) and are typically greater for heavier, more polarizable molecules and molecules with larger surface areas.

    London Dispersion Forces
  • occur between molecules with permanent dipoles (i.e., polar
    molecules). For molecules of similar size and mass, the strength
    of these forces increases with increasing polarity. Polar
    molecules can also induce dipoles in nonpolar molecules,
    resulting in dipole–induced dipole forces.
    Dipole-dipole forces
  • is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction that occurs between the lone pair of a highly electronegative atom (typically N, O, or F) and the hydrogen atom in a N–H, O–H, or F–H bond.

    Hydrogen Bonding
  • The weakest intermolecular force, a distance-dependent interaction between atoms or molecules, and consists of dipole-dipole forces and dispersion forces.

    Van der Waals force
  • Van der Waals force was named after a Dutch physicist named...

    Johannes Diderik van der Waals
  • have definite volume but no definite shape
    Liquid
  • Their particles are held closely together by the strong intermolecular forces but not strong enough to keep them in a rigid position. The
    particles are then free to slide over one another.

    Liquid
  • have definite volume and shape
    Solid
  • They are denser than liquids and are not easily compressed because their particles are tightly packed. The intermolecular forces between their particles are stronger than those in liquids, enough to make the solids rigid.
    Solid
  • Solid to liquid
    Melting
  • Liquid to solid
    Freezing
  • Liquid to Gas
    Vaporization
  • Gas to Liquid
    Condensation
  • Gas to Solid
    Deposition
  • Solid to Gas
    Sublimation
  • Gas to Plasma
    Ionization
  • Plasma to Gas
    Deionization
  • The resistance of a liquid to flow.
    Viscosity
  • The pressure exerted by gas molecules above a liquid.
    Vapor Pressure
  • Attraction between surface molecules in a liquid. Attractive forces at the surface pull molecules inward causing surface molecules to be held more tightly.
    Surface Tension
  • Temperature at which a liquid changes to gas.
    Boiling point
  • the amount of heat required to vaporize one mole of a substance at its boiling point.
    Molar heat of vaporization
  • Boiling point generally increases as molar heat of vaporization increases.
  • Solutions are mixtures of two or more substances evenly distributed throughout a single phase.
  • Solutions are composed of solute and solvent.
