Question | Answer |
---|---|
kinetic-molecular theory | describes the behavior of gases in terms of particles in motion |
elastic collision | collision in which no kinetic energy is lost |
Temperature | a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter. |
Diffusion | the term used to describe the movement of one material through another. |
Graham’s law of effusion | states that the rate of effusion for a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. |
Pressure | force per unit area |
barometer | an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure |
One pascal is equal to a force of | one newton per square meter: 1 Pa 1 N/m2; measures pressure |
One atmosphere is equal to | 760 mm Hg or 760 torr or 101.3 kilopascals (kPa); measures atmospheric pressure |
Dalton’s law of partial pressures | states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures of all the gases in the mixture. |
Dispersion forces | weak forces that result from temporary shifts in the density of electrons in electron clouds. |
dipole–dipole forces | Attractions between oppositely charged regions of polar molecules |
hydrogen bond | a dipole–dipole attraction that occurs between molecules containing a hydrogen atom bonded to a small, highly electronegative atom with at least one lone electron pair. |
amorphous solid | one in which the particles are not arranged in a regular, repeating pattern. |
boiling point | temp. @ which vapor pressure of a liquid= atm pressure |
condensation | gas or vapor --> liquid |
crystalline solid | solid whose atoms, ions, molecules are arranged in geometric, orderly, 3D structure |
deposition | process by which gas or vapor --> solid (skips liq. phase) |
evaporation | liquid --> gas |
freezing pt. | temp. @ which liq. --> crystalline solid |
melting pt. | pt. @ which crystalline solid --> liq. |
phase diagram | graph of pressure vs. temp that shows in which phase a substance exists under diff. conditions of temp + pressure |
sublimation | solid --> gas (skips liq. phase) |
surface tension | energy required to increase surface area of a liq. by a given amt. |
surfactants | cmpnds. that lower surface tension of water; "surface active agents" |
triple pt | pt. on a phase diagram that represents the temp + pressure @ which all 3 phases of a substance can coexist |
unit cell | smallest arrangement of connected pts. that can be repeatedin 3 directions to form lattice of a crystalline solid |
vaporization | liquid --> a gas or vapor |
vapor pressure | pressure exerted by a vapor over a liq. |
viscosity | measure of the resistance of a liq. to flow |
