Question | Answer |
---|---|
Polymorphous | having many variations in form or style; allotropic substances |
Lattice Energy | the energy required to pull a crystal apart |
Crystalline Solid | has a definite pattern to its structure when broken into pieces they have similar angles and edges |
Crystal Lattice | a crystalline solid's 3D pattern |
Unit Cell | the smallest number of ions to make a basic shape |
Formula Unit | the simplest whole number of ratio of atoms in an ionic compound |
Allotrope | a variant of a substance consisting of one atom |
Amorphous Solid | does not have a definite pattern to their structure, sometimes thought of as supercooled liquids |
Henry's Law | shows a direct relationship between the solubility of a gas and the particle pressure of that gas |
Why at higher altitudes it takes longer to boil water? | The vapor pressure dosn't have to be as great. |
Solvation | An exothermic reaction (releases energy) process where the solvent molecules surround the solute particles, creating a more stable, lower-energy situation |
The maximum temperature that a gas can be converted into a liquid | Critical Temperature |
Dissociation | an endothermic (absorbs energy) process where the intermolecular forces attracting respective solute and solvent particles are overcome. |
Electrolyte | any substance that contains free ions causing it to be electrically conductive |
Efflorescence | the loss of water by dehydration |
Electrolysis | a method of using a direct electric current to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous reaction |
Desiccant | a substance that induces or sustains a state of dryness |
Basic anhydride | reacts with water to form a base |
Deliquescence | the process where a substance absorbs moisture from the air until it dissolves in the absorbed water and forms a solution. |
Solubility of a gas is affected more by... | pressure |
If the solvation energy is greater than the dissociation energy then solution will... | heat up |
If the dissociation energy is greater than the solvation energy then solution will... | cool down |
Raoult's Law | Vapor pressure of a solvent is proportional to the number of dissolved solute particles |
Colloid | a heterogeneous mixture between a solvent and an insoluble solute-stays suspended like smoke in the air |
