Flap 1
Flap 2
Dipole-Dipole Bonding   occurs between polar molecules; (+) end of 1 molecule is attracted to the (-) end of another molecule; 1-2% of the strength of an ionic bond; larger molecule = higher boiling point  
Hydrogen Bonding   special type of dipole-dipole (stronger than regular); between hydrogen and "highly electronegative elements" (usually F, N, O); larger molecule = higher boiling point  
London Dispersion Forces   occurs between nonpolar molecules; size of molecule and strength of force are directionally proportional (larger molecule= higher boiling point)  
Surface Tension   resistance of liquid to increase its surface area; large intermolecular forces = high surface tension  
Capillary Action   the spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube (forming meniscus); when substance is polar, meniscus is concave, when substance is nonpolar, its convex  
Cohesive Forces   forces among the molecules that can cause capillary action  
Adhesive Forces   forces between the molecules and the container that can cause capillary action  
Viscosity   measure of a liquid's resistance to flow; large intermolecular forces = highly viscous  
Crystalline Solids   solids with a highly regular arrangement of their components  
Amorphous Solids   solids with considerable disorder in their structures  
Ionic Solids   type of crystalline solid; ions are at the points of the lattice  
Molecular Solids   type of cyrstalline solid; have covalently bonded molecules at each lattice point  
Atomic Solids   type of crystalline solid; have atoms at the lattice points  
Metallic Solids   subgroup of atomic solids; a special type of delocalized nondirectiona covalent bonding occurs  
Network Solids   subgroup of atomic solids; atoms bond to each other with strong directional covalent bonds that lead to networks of other atoms  
Group 8A Solids   subgroup of atomic solids; noble gases are attracted to each other with weak London dispersion forces  
Hydration   process by which ionic substances dissociate into ions. cations are attracted to the (-) end of H2O (O) and anions are attracted to the (+) end (H2)  
Properties of Electrolytes   dissociate in solution; solution conducts electricity  
Strong Electrolytes   completely dissociate in H2O  
Weak Electrolytes   dissociate to a small degree in H2O  
Non-Electrolytes   may dissolve in H2O, but do not dissociate at all  
Strong Acids   HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, HClO4, HBr, HI  
Strong Bases   NaOH, KOH, LiOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2  
Weak Acids   HC2H3O2, H3PO4, HNO2, HOCl, C6H5COOH  
Weak Bases   NH3  
Molarity   moles of solute / liters of solution  
Molality   moles of solute / kg of solvent  
Mole Fraction   moles of solute / moles of solution  
Mass Percent   ( g solute / g solution ) x 100  
Acids   releases H+ into solution; proton donor; electron acceptor  
Bases   releases OH- into solution; proton acceptor; electron donor  
Properties of Acids   dissociate into ions in solution; solution conducts electricity; low pH (below 7); litmus turns red; phenolphthalein remains colorless; if reacted w/ active metal, produces H2 gas; if reacted with carbonates, will form CO2  
Equilibrium   equal rates of reaction; lies far to the right for strong acids, far to the left for weak acids  
Ka   equilibrium expression; [concentration of products] / [concentration of reactants]  
Amphoteric   can act as both an acid and as a base, e.g., water  
Evaporation   the process by which molecules go from liquid to gaseous state; endothermic because gas has more energy than liquid, so energy must go into the system  
Boiling   gas is able to come up from the bottom; occurs throughout entire liquid  
Vapor Pressure   ability of molecules to enter vapor stage  
Boiling Point   temperature at which vapor pressure of liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure  
Normal Boiling Point   temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the normal atomospheric pressure  
Temperature   a measure of the average kinetic energy  
Relationship Between Temperature and Vapor Pressure   as temperature increases, energy of molecules increase. higher energy means less energy has to be added to become gaseous, so it is easier to become gaseous. higher ability to become gaseous = higher vapor pressure.as temp increases so does vapor pressure  
Why does evaporation lower a liquid's temperature?   evaporation is endothermic, so energy enters the system and increases the molecules' energy. the energetic molecules evaporate, leaving low-energy molecules (not enough energy to become gas). lower energy is reflected in a lower temperature.  
Melting Point   point where the liquid and solid have identical vapor pressures  
Normal Melting Point   temperature at which the solid and liquid states have the same vapor pressure under conditions where the total pressure is one atmosphere  
Raolt's Law (Vapor Pressure of Solution Formula)   P(soln) = X(solv)P(solv) (vapor pressure of solution = (mole fraction of solvent)(vapor pressure of pure solvent)  
Sublimation   process by which molecules of a solid become gaseous without passing through the liquid state  
Colloids   suspension of tiny particles in some medium; particles are single large molecules or aggreates of molecules/ions; also called colloidal dispersions  
Tyndall Effect   suspended particles scatter light, making the beam of light visible from the side; can be used to distinguish between a suspension and a true solution  
Coagulation   destruction of a colloid; can be caused by heating or adding an electrolyte  
Van't Hoff Factor (i)   i = ( moles of particles in solution / moles of solute dissolved ); number of particles a substance dissociates into when in solution  
Ion Pairing   some ions remain paired instead of dissociating; leads to deviation from expected value of "i"  
Osmotic Pressure (formula)   osmotic pressure = iMRT  
Gas Law Constant (R)   0.0826  
Change in Freezing Point (formula)   Tf = imTf ; Tf = temperature of pure solvent in K  
Change in Boiling Point   Tb = imTb ; Tb = boiling point of pure solvent in K  
Triple Point   only point at which all three phases can coexist  
Critical Point   end of the line between vapor and liquid phases; shows the critical temperature and critical pressure  
Critical Temperature   highest temperature at which vapor can be liquified  
Critical Pressure   the pressure needed to liquify vapor at the critical temperature  
Ion Dipole   ionic bonding; occurs between two polar ionic molecules; strongest type of intermolecular bond  
Mixture   two or more elements physically sharing the same space; the elements' appearances may change, but their chemical properties won't; a mixture can be separated into its component parts with relative ease  
Compound   two or more elements chemically combined; a new substance is formed and the individual elements lose their original properties  
Homogenous   consistent throughout; components are evenly dispersed  
Solution   a homogenous mixture  
Solubility   the ability to dissolve  
Temperature's Effect on Solubility   increases solubililty in solids and liquids; decreases solubility in gases  
Pressure's Effect on Solubility   increases solubility in gases; no effect in solids/liquids  
Why is it beneficial to have measures of concentration that are Temperature Independent?   temperature affects volume, but not mass. molality, mole fraction, & mass percent are mass-based, but molarity is volume-based. M of a solution may change as the temp. changes, but m, x, and m% won't change  
Explain nature of solute and solvent in relation to (delta)T.   (delta)T doesn't depend on the nature of the solute, just on the number of solute particles (i); it does however depend on the nature of the solvent, because Kb and Kf are specific to each individual solvent.  
Colligative Properties   properties that change when a solute dissolves in a solvent; vapor pressure, osmotic pressure, freezing point, boiling point  
Enthalpy of Vaporization   (delta)Hvap; energy required to vaporize one mole of molecules at standard atmospheric pressure  
Enthalpy of Fusion   (delta)Hfus; energy required to melt one mole of molecules at standard atmospheric pressure  
Conjugate Base   everything that remains of the acid molecule after a proton is lost  
Conjugate Acid   formed when the proton is transferred to the base; essentially base + H+  
Conjugate Acid-Base Pair   two substances related to each other by the donating and accepting of a single proton; two substances that differ only by the presence or lack of H+; e.g., acid and conjugate base  
Acid-Base Reaction   H+ and OH- combine to form H2O; also called neutralization reaction; enough base is added to react exactly with the acid in a solution  
Precipitation Reaction   a reaction in which an insoluble substance forms and separates from the solution  
Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reaction   a reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred  
Equivalence Point   point in titration where enough titrant has been added to neutralize the base  
Endpoint   point where indicator changes color
