What holds solids and liquids

Ace your homework & exams now with Quizwiz!

intermolecular forces

(Attractive forces between neighboring particles of one or more substances) pull the particles together, while kinetic energy keeps the particles at a distance and/or moving around

Phase diagram

A graphical representation of the pressure temperature relationships that apply to the equilibria between the phases of substance

Hydrogen Bond

A special type of dipole-dipole interaction that exists only in a molecules that contain a hydrogen atom bonded to a small, highly electronegative atom such as N, O or F

Ion-dipole force

Acts between an ion (either positive or negative) and a polar molecule. The degree depends on the size and charge of the ion and on the size and dipole moment of the polar molecule

Metallic solid

Are composed of metal atoms bonded together by metallic bonds

Network solid

Are covalently bonded atoms that form a continuous network

Amorphous solids

Are formed rather rapidly that its constituent particles not have time to align or organize into a more definite crystalline lattice

London Dispersion force

Are intermolecular forces of attraction that exist between all atoms and molecules. Moreover, these are the only forces acting in nonpolar molecules. They arise from the continuous movement of electrons in particles. This are attractions between an instantaneous dipole and an induced dipole

Group 8A solid

Consists of atoms of noble gases held together by London Dispersion forces

Kinetic molecular model

Explains the properties of solids and liquids in terms of intermolecular forces of attraction and the kinetic energy of yhe individual particles

Strong cohesive force

Explains why spherical water droplets form on leaves

Crystalline solids

Has a well defined crystal lattice

Ionic solid

Have ions at different points of the lattice. These ions are held together by strong coulombic forces

Lattice

Is a three dimensional system of points designating the positions of the components that make-up a crystal

Dipole-dipole force

It exist between polar molecules. Each polar molecule has unequal electron densities, resulting in a dipole-a partial positive and a partial negative

Phase boundary line

Line separating any two regions

Uniform and symmetrical

Nonpolar molecules have zero dipole moment because their electron density is ______ and ______

Phase changes

Occur with increased temperature. The particles of a solid are held close together by intermolecular forces of attraction

heat of vaporization

The amount of heat required to vaporize one mole of a substance at its boiling point. The application of hear disrupts the intermolecular forces of attraction of the liquid molecules and allows them to vaporize

Solids

The intermolecular attractive forces between their particles are stronger than those in liquids, enough to keep the solid rigid

Liquids

The particles are then free to slide over one another. This particle behavior makes liquids floe and assume the shape of their containers

Triple point

The point at which all three phase boundary lines meet

Vapor pressure

The pressure exerted by its vapor when in equilibrium with its liquid or solid

Surface Tension

The property of a liquid to resist an external force and thus assume a lesser surface area. This is attributed to the strong attractive and cohesive forces between and among the molecules, particularly at the surface of the liquid

Viscosity

The resistance of a liquid to flow. It is loosely referred to as the thickness or thinness of a liquid

Boiling point

The temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to the external or atmospheric pressure. The boiling point of a liquid is influenced by the strength of its intermolecular force. The greater the attractive forces, the higher the energy needed to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules to break these forces

Molecular solids

has discrete covalently bonded molecules at each of its lattice points. The molecules are held together in their lattices by strong intermolecular forces, the most outstanding of which is HYDROGEN BONDING
