The triple point is where all three distinct phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas) coexist
The triple point of water is at 273.16 K
In a crystalline solid state, the structure is made up of repeating units that form a crystal, this crystal contains an ordered array of points describing particle arrangement. This array of points in the crystal is called a lattice
A carefully placed small needle can float on the water's surface even though it is several times as dense as water due to surface tension
Attraction that results when a polar molecule induces a dipole in an atom or a nonpolar molecule by disturbing the arrangement of electrons is known as dipole-dipole attraction or London dispersion force
Amorphous solids are any solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite pattern
Pure ethyl alcohol has a lower boiling point than water, indicating that water holds stronger intermolecular forces than alcohol
A particular dipole-dipole bond forms in Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Fluorine due to high values of electronegativity, known as a hydrogen bond
The strongest intermolecular force is the hydrogen bond
The stronger the intermolecular forces of the substance, the higher the boiling point will be
Ion-dipole attraction is present in a table salt (NaCl) dissolved in water
Covalent bond is the intramolecular force present when two chlorine atoms bond together by sharing their valence electrons
Induced dipole-dipole attraction or London dispersion force is the type of intermolecular force present in the reaction of hydrogen chloride (HCl) with Argon (Ar)
Viscosity is defined as the resistance of the liquid to flow, indicating that a more viscous liquid holds stronger intermolecular forces
Sodium loses an electron and chlorine gains an electron to form a Sodium Chloride compound
Oxygen and Hydrogen atoms can form a covalent molecule, while Potassium and Chlorine can form an Ionic Compound
Water is less viscous than Alaska condensed milk
Intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule
Evaporation is an example of an endothermic reaction in which water absorbs heat from the surroundings to turn into gas
When an atom loses or gains one or more electrons, it becomes an ion
The unit cell is the smallest part of a crystal that, repeated regularly through translation in three dimensions, creates the whole crystal
Partial charge holds within two polar molecules when electrons are unequally shared between the two bonded atoms
The critical point is the point in temperature and pressure on a phase diagram where the liquid and gaseous phases of a substance merge together into a single phase
Intermolecular forces are weaker than intramolecular forces
Groups have similar chemical properties due to having the same valence electrons.
Elements are arranged into groups based on their electron configuration.
