Kinetic Molecular Model

Cards (45)

  • The word "Kinetic" comes from the Greek word "Kinein" which means "to move"
  • Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the properties of solids and liquids in terms of intermolecular forces of attraction and the kinetic energy of the individual particles
  • All matter is made up of tiny particles
  • The particles are in constant motion
  • The speed of the particles is proportional to temperature
  • Solids, Liquids, and Gases differ in the extent to which the particles interact
  • The particles of solids are closely packed together. Because of their compact arrangement, they have definite sizes and shapes.
  • Solid particles' arrangement is also responsible for their malleability and ductility.
  • The particles of liquids are slightly far from one another. This amount of space enables it to flow and take the shape of the container.
  • Liquids have no definite sizes and shapes
  • The particles of gases move freely and are very far from one another
  • Gas particles have no definite sizes and shapes
  • Sublimation - Solid to gas
  • Melting - Solid to liquid
  • Evaporation - Liquid to gas
  • Condensation - Gas to liquid
  • Deposition - Gas to solid
  • Freezing - Liquid to solid
  • Temperature affects the amount of kinetic energy of the molecules, therefore affecting their movement
  • The particles of matter expand upon heating and contact upon cooling
  • Intermolecular forces of attraction was also known as Vander Waals Forces named after the Dutch scientist Johannes Diderik Vanderwaals
  • London Dispersion Force - the weakest type of intermolecular forces of attraction
  • London Dispersion Forces - when two-non polar molecules approach each other, an instantaneous dipole moment forms
  • Dipole-dipole Interaction - it exists between polar molecules
  • Dipole-dipole interaction - one end of a dipole attracts the oppositively charged end of the other dipole
  • Ion-Dipole interaction - acts between an ion (either positive or negative) and a polar molecule
  • Ion-Dipole Interaction - explains the solubility of ionic compounds in water, which is polar molecule
  • Hydrogen Bond - a special and very strong type of force that exist between a hydrogen atom bound to small and highly electronegative non-metal atom
  • Hydrogen Bonds - occur in polar molecules containing H and any of highly electronegative elements (Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine)
  • Higher Polarization = Higher level of attraction
  • Intramolecular forces - "within" two atoms
  • Intramolecular forces happens inside an atom
  • Intramolecular forces happens when there is a single atom
  • Ionic Bond - transfer of electron charges
  • Covalent Bond - sharing of electron
  • There is a presence of cation and anion in Ion-Dipole Interaction
  • Intermolecular forces - "between" two or more compounds and molecules
  • Dipole-Dipole Interaction. Attraction and Repulsion
  • All matter is made up of tiny particles
  • These particles are in constant motion
