🗑
dipolar force   the intermolecular force that affects all polar molecules  
🗑
hydrogen bond   the strongest of all intermolecular forces; responsible for the cohesion of water and ice  
🗑
London forces   a weak intermolecular force that exists between all molecules; caused by a temporary imbalance in electron distribution  
🗑
boiling point   the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure above the liquid  
🗑
melting point   temperature at which melting occurs  
🗑
vapor pressure   the tendency of molecules to evaporate or escape from the surface of a liquid at a given temperature, due to random molecular motion  
🗑
molecular mass   the sum of the atomic masses (in amu) of all the atoms in a molecule  
🗑
chemical reation   a chemical change resulting from a collision between atoms or molecules  
🗑
reactants   original substances that undergo a chemical reaction  
🗑
products   the new substances produced by the reaction  
🗑
exothermic reaction   a chemical reaction that releases heat energy  
🗑
endothermic reaction   a chemical reaction that absorbs heat energy and stores it in the chemical bonds of the products  
🗑
entropy   the amount of decay or disorder in a system  
🗑
second law of thermodynamics   law that states that heat and other natural processes in a system always tend toward less usable energy and greater disorder  
🗑
Four factors that can affect the rate of a chemical reaction   Temperature, concentration, surface area, catalysts  
🗑
