QuestionAnswer
vibration movement of particles back and forth around a fixed position; solid, liquid, and gas
rotation movement of particles spinning around their own axis; liquid and gas
translation movement of particles from one location to another to another; liquid and gas
solid shape, volume, density, compressibility definite shape, definite volume, high density, almost impossible to compress
liquid shape, volume, density, compressibility takes shape of container, definite volume, high density but lower than solids, slightly compressible
gas shape, volume, density, compressibility take shape of container, no definite volume, very low density, highly compressible
Why are gases easily compressible, whereas liquids are not? because the particles in gas are far apart with lots of empty space whereas liquid are already packed close together
Why do ice cubes float in liquid water? Is this typical behavior? ice floats because it is less dense than liquid water; this behavior is not typical
intermolecular forces attractive forces b/w separate molecules
intramolecular forces strong forces that hold atoms together within a molecule or compound; covalent bonds, ionic bonds, metallic bonds
What type of properties does intermolecular forces give rise to? boiling point, melting point, vapor pressure, viscosity, surface tension, density, state of matter
What does this statement mean? "The relative strength of intermolecular forces and thermal energy affects the physical properties of a substance" intermolecular forces pull particles together while thermal energy makes them move apart
What type of properties does intramolecular forces give rise to? chemical reactivity, bond strength, molecular structure, stability of compounds, how substances form or break chemical bonds
Which two related factors primarily determine the physical state of matter at a given temperature? intermolecular forces and thermal energy
Intermolecular forces are electrostatic attractions that occur __________________ the particles of a in a substance or mixture between
Intermolecular forces are typically __________________ than covalent or ionic bonds weaker
Intermolecular forces affect the __________________ properties of a substance physical
The greater the total magnitude of the intermolecular forces, the __________________ the effect on physical properties greater
dispersion forces weak intermolecular attractions caused by the temporary movement of electrons, weakest type of intermolecular force
How do dispersion forces affect physical properties? stronger dispersion forces = stronger intermolecular attractions = greater effects on physical properties
How does molecular shape affect dispersion forces and physical properties? molecular shape affects how much surface area molecules have to interact with each other, and stronger dispersion forces generally cause higher boiling point, melting point, viscosity, and lower vapor pressure
Does n-pentane or neopentane have the higher boiling point and why? n-pentane has the higher boiling point because it is long and has more surface contact
How does the number of electrons affect the strength of dispersion forces? the more electrons a particle has, the stronger its dispersion forces are
polarizability how easily an atom or molecules electron cloud can be distorted to create a temporary dipole
How does the strength of intermolecular forces compare to the strength of covalent or ionic bonds? intermolecular forces are much weaker than covalent or ionic bonds
How does the magnitude of intermolecular forces affect physical properties? the greater the magnitude or IMF, the greater their effect on physical properties; stronger attractions = particles are harder to separate
Rank the following in order of increasing strength of dispersion forces: Ar, He, Kr, Ne. Explain your reasoning He < Ne< Ar < Kr; dispersion forces become stronger as the number of electrons increase b/c larger e- clouds are more easily distorted
Rank the following molecules in order of increasing strength of dispersion forces: Cl2, H2, I2, N2, O2. Explain your reasoning H2 < N2 < O2 < Cl2 < I2; all of these molecules are nonpolar, so their main intermolecular force is dispersion forces
Which has a lower melting point: butane or isobutane? isobutane has a lower melting point because it is more compact than butane, giving it less surface area for contact b/w molecules
Which has a lower melting point: pentene or cyclopentane? pentane has a lower melting point because its ring structure allows its molecules to pack more efficiently in the solid
dipole-dipole forces attractive forces between polar molecules that help determine a substances boiling point, melting point, and solubility
In general, how do the strengths of dipole-dipole forces and dispersion forces compare for compounds of similar molecular mass? dipole-dipole forces are generally stronger than dispersion forces
How is the strength of a dipole-dipole force affected by polarity? the more polar a molecule is, the stronger its dipole-dipole forces
Do molecules that are more polar than other molecules have stronger or weaker dipole-dipole forces? they have stronger dipole-dipole forces because they have larger partial positive and negative charges

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
