Kinetic Molecular Theory
Matter is made up of atoms and molecules that are always moving
Any form or type of matter hold kinetic energy and move around in random directions
High temperatures → high energy
Low temperatures → less energy
The more kinetic energy, the faster the movement
Solids
Particles hardly move and hold a regular pattern because the kinetic energy is low, and they are tightly packed
Liquids
Particles have a higher kinetic energy than those in solids and hence, they are free to move
Gases
Particles have the highest kinetic energy because they are dispersed and move around freely
Phase changes
1. Transformations from one state of a matter to another
2. Occurs when energy (usually in the form of heat) is added or removed from a substance
3. Characterized by changes in molecular order
Vaporization
Liquid changes to the gaseous state, which happens in the boiling point of a liquid
Evaporation
Liquid changes to the gaseous state below its boiling point
Condensation
1. Gas molecules condense to become liquid
2. Occurs when a molecule strikes the liquid surface and becomes trapped by intermolecular forces in the liquid
Melting
Transformation of a solid to liquid
Freezing
Transformation of a liquid to solid
Freezing point/Melting point
Temperature at which solid and liquid phases co-exist in equilibrium
Latent heat
Amount of energy needed to change the phase a certain mass of a substance to a unit mass of material
Steel strut near a ship's furnace
Change in temperature: 355°C
Increase in length: 7.8 x 10^-3 m
Ice added to water in a cooler
Temperature of the water when it comes to equilibrium: 3.03°C
Intermolecular force
Attractive forces between molecules
Intramolecular force
Attractive forces that hold atoms together in molecule
Intermolecular forces are much weaker than intramolecular forces
Types of intermolecular force
Ion-Ion Force (Strongest)
Ion-Dipole Force
Hydrogen Bonding
Dipole-Dipole Interaction
Dispersion Forces (weakest)
Ion
Charged atoms or molecules
Dipole
Molecule that has both positive and negative regions that are separated with each other
Electronegativity
Ability of an atom to attract shared electrons how much electrons wants to be near an element
Polar molecules
Molecules that possess dipole moments, which arise from differences in electronegativities
Characteristics of polar vs non-polar molecules
Polar: One slightly positive end and one slightly negative end, central atom with lone pair, terminal atoms not symmetrically arranged
Non-polar: Compounds having the same atom / monoatomic molecules, central atoms without lone pairs, all terminal atoms symmetrically arranged
Ion-ion force
Attractive force between positive and negative ions, also known as ionic bonds, strongest intermolecular force
Ion-dipole force
Force that attracts an ion (cation or anion) and a polar molecule to each other, strength depends on charge/size of ion, magnitude of dipole moment, and size of molecule
Hydrogen bonding
Special type of dipole-dipole interaction between hydrogen atom in a polar bond and an electronegative O, N, or F atom, quite large average strength
Dipole-dipole interaction
Attractive forces between polar molecules, larger the dipole moment the larger the force
Dispersion forces
Attractive forces that arise from temporary dipoles induced in atoms/molecules due to proximity of an ion or polar molecule, present in all molecules
Intermolecular forces influence rate of evaporation, boiling point, and solubility
Rate of evaporation
Evaporation requires input of energy (enthalpy of vaporization), greater the forces of attraction between molecules the greater the energy needed
Boiling point
As temperature rises, molecules gain kinetic energy, boiling point reached when molecules have sufficient kinetic energy to escape forces of attraction, stronger IMFs = higher boiling point
Solubility
Like dissolves like - polar solute and polar solvent, non-polar solute and non-polar solvent
Surface tension
Amount of energy required to stretch or increase the surface of a liquid by a unit area, liquids with strong IMFs have high surface tension
Capillary action
Tendency of a liquid to rise in narrow tubes or be drawn into small openings due to attraction between liquid molecules and material
Cohesive force
Intermolecular forces between molecules of a liquid
Adhesive force
Interaction between a liquid and solid surface
Meniscus
Curved surface of a liquid, can be concave or convex depending on relative cohesive and adhesive forces
