QuestionAnswer
intramolecular bonds within molecules; strong; covalent and ionic bonds
intermolecular bonds between molecules; weak; affect physical properties
solid tightly packed molecules, particles vibrate, definite shape and volume, strong IMF with low thermal energy
liquid particles are close and slide past each other, definite volume but not shape, slightly compressible, moderate IMF and moderate thermal energy
gas particles are far apart and move freely, no definite shape or volume, highly compressible, weak IMF and high thermal energy
dispersion forces temporary partial negative and positive side created instantaneous dipoles
dipole-dipole occurs between polar molecules
hydrogen bonding hydrogen must be directly bonded to N, O, or F
ion-dipole forces occurs between an ion and polar molecule
cohesive forces attractions between the same type of molecule
adhesive forces attractions between different substances
surface tension resistance of a liquid to increase surface area; molecules at the surface experience attraction toward the interior
viscosity resistance to flow
capillary action movement of a liquid through a narrow space without external assistance
vaporization evaporation occurs at the surface, boiling occurs throughout, producing bubbles
vapor pressure pressure exerted by vapor above a liquid at equilibrium; stronger IMF = lower vapor pressure and vice versa
boiling point liquid boils when vapor pressure = atmospheric pressure
Clausius-Clapeyron equation Pvap = Ce(-^changeH/RT) P=vapor pressure C=constant changeHvap=enthalpy of vaporization R=8.314 J/molK T=temp in Kelvin
phase changes melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation, deposition
heating curves sloped section = increased temp flat sections = constant temp
phase diagrams shows which phase is stable at different temps and pressures
triple point where all three phase boundaries meet
critical point endpoint of the vaporization curve; any substance above the critical point becomes a supercritical fluid, meaning it has properties of both liquid and gas
LED function as a result of the conductive properties of solids
OLED organic light emitting diodes that are made from carbon and hydrogen
crystalline solids highly ordered 3-D patterns
single-crystalline solids particles are arranged in a pattern that repeats throughout the crystal
poly-crystalline solid short-rang order that lack the long-range order of a single crystal Ex: several tiny single crystals randomly oriented and stuck together
amorphous solids characterized by their lack of order
crystalline solids particles are arranged in a highly ordered repeating pattern
metallic solids composed of a single metallic element
metallic bonds atoms in metallic solids
ionic solids composed of cations and anions held together by electrostatic force
molecular solids composed of an array of discrete small molecules of a single type, held together by IMF
networks solids consists of atoms that form a continuous network through covalent bonds; high melting points, poor conductors of electricity
alloy homogenous mixture of metal and at least 1 other element
polymer large molecule composed of a series of many small molecule subunites called monomers linked with covalent bonds
grains microscopic crystals
x-ray diffraction technique in which x-rays are scattered by the regularly spaced atoms or ions of a crystal
constructive interference crests and troughs of 2 or more waves overlap so they are in phase with each other
destructive interference crest of one wave overlaps with trough of another wave; out of phase, cancels each other out; diminishes amplitude
diffraction patterns when x-rays are diffracted by a crystal, forming interference patterns
Bragg's Law relates the wavelength of x-ray to the distance between various planes in a crystal
crystal lattice arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline solid
unit cell simplest repeating unit, opposite faces are parallel, edges connect equivalent points
lattice points point that represent the location of an atom, ion, or molecule within the repeating structure of a solid
simple cubic unit cell composed of a cube with one atom centered on each corner; A=2R
packing efficiency percent of unit cell volume occupied by atoms
coordination number number of atoms immediately surrounding an atom in the cell
body centered cubic unit cell cube with atoms at each of the 8 corners plus an additional in the center; A=4R/square root 3
face centered cubic unit cell cube with atoms at each of the 8 corners plus one atom centered one each of the 6 cube faces; A=2(square root 2R)
AB packing closest packed arrangement of atoms in 2 layers
ABA packing hexagonal close packing
ABC packing cubic close packing (face centered)
trigonal holes occurs between 3 adjacent atoms in a single layer
tetrahedral holes found between 2 layers of atoms or ions and occurs when a single atoms sits atop a trigonal hole
octahedral holes largest type of hole and are formed between 2 consecutive layers of atoms when 2 trigonal holes are aligned
properties of metals conductors, malleable, ductile, and shiney
band theory when energy gaps become so small they effectively form 2 continuous energy bands
valence band band composed of the bonding molecular orbitals populated with electrons
conduction band band composed of the antibonding molecular orbitals not occupied with electrons
band gap difference in energy between the top of the valence band and the bottom on the conduction band
insulators do not conduct electricity easily
semiconductors have small band gap but do not conduct electricity at low temps
doping addition of a small amount of another element to the pure semiconductor metal
dopant other element that is added to the pure semiconductor metal
depletion zone narrow band where p and n semiconductors meet and the n-type moved into p-type holes
junction potential accumulation of charge in the depletion zone
reverse bias direction is opposite of natural flow so current stops
forward bias electrons flow through easily
solution homogenous mixture of substances
solvent component present in greatest # of moles
solutes substance dissolved in the solvent
concentrationed solutions large amount of solute
dilute solutions small amount of solute
aqueous solutions solution where water is the solvent
solubility max mass of solute that can dissolve in a specified amount of solvent at a given temp and pressure
molar solubility # of moles of solute that can dissolve in 1 liter of solution
density mass/volume
volume a^3 (edge length)
mass g/mol x Z x 1mol/6.022x10^23
full density equation d = (MM)(Z)(6.022x10^23)/a^3
rectifier converts current flowing in both directions into current flowing in one direction
