The 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 tinyparticles.
These particles are in constant motion.
The speed of a particle is proportional to temperature. Increased temperature means greater speed.
Solids, liquids, and gasses differ in distances between particles, in the freedom of motion of particles, and in the extent to which the particles interact.
Solid has Fixed volume; fixed shape (regardless of size and shape of container)
These two matters has high density: Liquid and Solid
The molecules of Solid vibrates in place.
INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
Are attractive forces between molecules or particles in the solid or liquid states.
Intramolecular forces are forces within the molecules forming bonds
Intramolecular forces hold atoms together in a molecule.
The intermolecular forces of attraction in a pure substance are collectively known as van der Waals forces.
Types of Intermolecular forces (strongest to weakest)
Dipole-dipole
Hydrogen bonding
Ion-dipole
London dispersion
Dipole-induced dipole force
an IMF that exists between polar molecules: Dipole-dipole
Hydrogen Bonding is a special and very strong type of dipole – dipole force that exists between a hydrogen atom
Hydrogen bond occurs in polar molecules containing H and any of highly electronegative elements, in particular Nitrogen, Fluorine, and Oxygen.
The ions and the oppositely charged ends of the polar water molecules overcome the attraction between ions themselves: Ion-dipole
London Dispersion Force is the weakest type of intermolecular force.
London Dispersion force is sometimes called an induced dipole-induced dipole attraction.
Dipole-induced Dipole Force is the interaction between Polar and nonpolar molecules.
Liquids do not have a simple or regular structure.
Surface Tension is the measure of the elastic force on the surface of a liquid.
it is the amount of energy required to stretch or increase the surface of a liquid by a unity area: Surface Tension
The liquids that have STRONG IMF also have HIGH SURFACE TENSION.
Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise in narrow tubes or be drawn into small openings
CAPILLARITY is an intermolecular attraction between the solid and liquid materials.
Two types of forces that is involved in capillary action: Cohesion and Adhesion
Cohesion is the intermolecular attraction between LIKE molecules (the liquid molecules)
Adhesion is an attraction between UNLIKE molecules
Cohesive force > adhesive forces = convex
Cohesive force < adhesive forces = concave
Viscosity is defined as the resistance of a liquid to flow.
It is loosely referred to as the thickness or thinness of a liquid: Viscosity
The stronger the IMF the higher the viscosity.
Vapor Pressure is the pressure exerted by its vapor when in equilibrium with liquid or solid.
The higher the temperature of the water, the higher the vapor pressure is.
The substances with relatively strong intermolecular forces will have low vapor pressure because the particles will have difficulty escaping as a gas.
Boiling point of is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to the external or atmospheric pressure.
INCREASE TEMP = HIGHER KINETIC ENERGY
The greater intermolecular force, the higher the energy needed to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules to break these forces.
