Term
Definition
intermolecular forces   the short-range attractive forces operating between the particles that make up the units of a liquid or solid substance. These same forces also cause gases to liquefy or solidify at low temperatures and high pressures  
🗑
dipole-dipole forces   the force that exists because of the interactions of dipoles on polar molecules in close contact  
🗑
London dispersion forces   intermolecular forces resulting from attractions between induced dipoles  
🗑
hydrogen bonding   bonding that results from intermolecular attractions between molecules containing hydrogen bonded to an electronegative element NOF  
🗑
Ion-dipole force   the force that exists between an ion and a neutral polar molecule that possesses a permanent dipole moment  
🗑
polarizability   the ease with which the electron cloud of anatomy or a molecule is distorted by an outside influence, thereby inducing a dipole moment  
🗑
viscosity   a measure of the resistance of fluids to flow  
🗑
surface tension   the intermolecular, cohesive attraction that causes a liquid to minimize its surface area  
🗑
capillary action   the process by which a liquid rises in a tube because of a combination of adhesion to the walls of the tube and cohesion between liquid particles  
🗑
phase change   the conversion of a substance from one stage of matter to another. the phase changes we consider are melting and freezing, sublimation and disposition, and vaporization and condensation.  
🗑
heat of fusion   the enthalpy change, delta H, for melting a solid  
🗑
heat of sublimation   the enthalpy change, delta H, for vaporization of a solid  
🗑
heat of vaporization   the enthalpy change, delta H, for vaporization of a liquid  
🗑
critical temperature   the highest temperature at which it is possible to convert the gaseous form of a substance to a liquid. the critical temperature increases with an increase in the magnitude of intermolecular forces  
🗑
critical pressure   the pressure at which a gas at its critical temperature is converted to a liquid state  
🗑
vapor pressure   the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid or solid phase  
🗑
dynamic equilibrium   a state of balance in which opposing processes occur at the same rate  
🗑
volatile   tending to evaporate readily  
🗑
normal boiling point   the boiling point at 1 atm pressure  
🗑
phase diagram   a graphic representation of the equilibria among the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of a substance as a function of temperature and pressure  
🗑
normal melting point   the melting point at 1 atm pressure  
🗑
triple point   the temperature at which solid, liquid, and gas phases coexist in equilibrium  
🗑
crystalline solid (crystal)   a solid whose internal arrangement of atom, molecules, or ions shows a regular repetition in any direction through the solid  
🗑
amorphous solid   a solid whose molecular arrangement lacks a regular, long-range pattern  
🗑
unit cell   the smallest portion of a crystal that reproduces the structure of the entire crystal when repeated in different directions in space. it is the repeating hit of building block of the crystal lattice  
🗑
crystal lattice   an imaginary network of points on which the repeating unit of the structure of a solid may be imagined to be laid down so that the structure of the crystal is obtained. each point represents an identical environment in the crystal  
🗑
primitive cubic cell   a cubic unit cell in which the lattice points are at the corners only  
🗑
body-centered cubic cell   a cubic unit cell in which the lattice points occur at the corners and at the center  
🗑
face-centered cubic cell   a cubic unit cell that has lattice points at each corner as well as at the center of each face  
🗑
cubic close packing   a close-packing arrangement in which the atoms of the third layer of a solid are not directly over those in the first layer  
🗑
hexagonal close packing   a close-packing arrangement in which the atoms of the third layer of a solid lie directly over those in the first layer  
🗑
coordination number   the number of adjacent atoms to which an atom is directly bonded. in a complex the coordination number of the metal ion is the number of donor atoms to which it is bonded  
🗑
molecular solids   solids that are composed of molecules  
🗑
covalent-network solids   solids in which the units that make up the three-dimensional network are joined by covalent bonds  
🗑
ionic solids   solids that are composed of ions  
🗑
metallic solids   solids that are composed of metal atoms  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
