AP Chem term (Ch. 10)
Definition
condensed states   liquids and solids.  
🗑
intermolecular forces   relatively weak interactions that occur between molecules.  
🗑
dipole-dipole attraction   the attractive force resulting when polar molecules line up so that the positive and negative ends are close to each other.  
🗑
hydrogen bonding   unusually strong dipole-dipole attractions that occur among molecules in which hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (N, O, F).  
🗑
London dispersion forces   the forces, existing among noble gas atoms and nonpolar molecules, that involve an accidental dipole that induces a momentary dipole in the neighbor.  
🗑
surface tension   the resistance of a liquid to increase in its surface area.  
🗑
capillary action   the spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube.  
🗑
viscosity   the resistance of a liquid to flow.  
🗑
crystalline solid   a solid with a regular arrangement of its components.  
🗑
amorphous solid   a solid with considerable disorder in its structure.  
🗑
lattice   a three-dimensional system of points designating the positions of the centers of the components of a solid (atoms, ions, or molecules).  
🗑
unit cell   the smallest repeating unit of a lattice.  
🗑
X-ray diffraction   a technique for establishing the structure of crystalline solids by directing X rays of a single wavelength at a crystal and obtaining a diffraction pattern from which inter-atomic spaces can be determined.  
🗑
ionic solid (salt)   a solid containing cations and anions that dissolves in water to give a solution containing the separated ions which are mobile and thus free to conduct electrical current.  
🗑
molecular solid   a solid composed of neutral molecules at the lattice points.  
🗑
atomic solid   a solid that contains atoms at the lattice points.  
🗑
