Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Phase   show
🗑
show Bonding forces that exist WITHIN each molecule and influence the chemical properties of the substance  
🗑
Intermolecular forces   show
🗑
Phase changes   show
🗑
Roughly, how do phase changes come about?   show
🗑
show The interplay of the potential energy of the potential energy of the intermolecular attractions (Coulomb’s law) which tends to draw molecules together, and their kinetic energy (prop. to temp.) which tends to disperse them.  
🗑
show Conforms to shape and volume of container; high compressibility because molecules are so spread apart; low viscosity (flows and diffuses very easily)  
🗑
show Conforms to shape of container but volume limited by surface; Compressibility is very low; viscosity is moderate. Note: molecules are very close together but their kinetic energy still allows them to tumble over each other.  
🗑
Solid: shape and volume, compressibility, and viscosity   show
🗑
List all the types of phase changes   show
🗑
At what point do metals freeze?   show
🗑
show Exothermic, heat is released as the particles become fixed and solid.  
🗑
Melting and vaporizing: exothermic or endothermic?   show
🗑
Heat of vaporization and fusion   show
🗑
How to calculate deltaH_subl   show
🗑
show A curve that shows the changes that occur when heat is added or removed from a particular sample of matter at a constant rate.  
🗑
show Change of heat is accompanied by A CHANGE IN TERMPERATURE, which is associated with a change in average E_k as the most probable speed of the molecule changes.  
🗑
Change of heat during a phase change   show
🗑
Are phase changes reversible? Can they reach equilibrium?   show
🗑
show When the rate of condensation is equal to the rate of vaporization. The pressure of the vapor is constant at that temperature.  
🗑
show Because although it appears static macroscopically, molecularly the particles are leaving and entering the liquid surface at equal rates.  
🗑
show Vapor pressure.  
🗑
show Temperature. RAISING THE TEMPERATURE INCREASED THE VAPOR PRESSURE.  
🗑
show The intermolecular forces present. The E_k is the same for different substances at a given temperature. Thus, molecules with weaker intermolecular forces vaporize more easily.  
🗑
Clausius-Clapeyron equation: what does it do?   show
🗑
show ln(P2/P1) = [(-deltaH_vap)/R]*(1/T2 – 1/T1)  
🗑
show The temperature at which the vapor pressure equals the external pressure.  
🗑
Boiling point’s relationship with elevation   show
🗑
Melting point   show
🗑
Why does sublimation occur?   show
🗑
show A diagram which combines the liquid-gas, solid-liquid, and solid-gas curves  
🗑
What do the lines between the regions in the phase diagrams represent?   show
🗑
How is the slope of line between solid and liquid phases different in H2O as compared to most other substances?   show
🗑
show At critical temperature and critical pressure the density of the liquid and vapor in a closed container are equal to each other and the phase boundary disappears. Beyond the critical temperature a supercritical fluid exists.  
🗑
show The pressure and temperature at which three phases are in equilibrium.  
🗑
show Intramolecular forces are relatively strong because they involve larger charges and are closer together than that of the relatively smaller intermolecular forces.  
🗑
List and identify all distances in a molecule   show
🗑
Types of intermolecular forces (in order of strength, strongest-weakest)   show
🗑
Ion-dipole force   show
🗑
show When polar molecules lie near one another, as in liquids and solids, their partial charges act as tiny electric fields that orient them and give rise to dipole-dipole forces  
🗑
H-bond   show
🗑
Polarizability   show
🗑
Polarizability trends   show
🗑
show Dipoles caused by the distortion of molecules’ electron clouds by other particles.  
🗑
The most universal intermolecular force   show
🗑
show The intermolecular force primarily responsible for the condensed states of nonpolar substances. Caused by momentary oscillations of electron charge in atoms and are present between all particles.  
🗑
show Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces.  
🗑
show Dispersion forces are dominant because they’re most prevalent. They make up most of the bonding forces of most substances.  
🗑
show The polarizability of the particles, which closely correlates with molar mass. I.e., as molar mass increases so do dispersion forces.  
🗑
What else affects the relative strength of dispersion forces?   show
🗑
show Liquid  
🗑
Why does a liquid surface tend to have the smallest possible area?   show
🗑
show The greater the strength of the attractions, the greater the surface tension.  
🗑
How do surfactants work to decrease surface tension of water?   show
🗑
show The rising of a liquid through a narrow space against the pull of gravity is called capillary action, or capillarity. It results from a competition between the intermolecular forces within the liquid and those between the liquid and the tube walls.  
🗑
Differences in the meniscuses of H2O and Hg   show
🗑
show Resistance to flow.  
🗑
show Viscosity decreases with heating. This is because the molecules have higher E_k and can overcome resistance more efficiently. E.g. oil in a cooking pan being heated moves more freely.  
🗑
Relation of viscosity to molecular shape   show
🗑
show Capillary action of the cotton fibers acting on the water on your skin.  
🗑
Solvent properties of water   show
🗑
show Aquatic animals could not survive without dissolved O2; aquatic plants couldn’t survive without dissolved CO, etc.  
🗑
show Water has high specific heat capacity, higher than almost every other liquid. Because of this, a large amount of energy provided by the sun won’t change the temperature too much.  
🗑
Thermal properties of water (2)   show
🗑
show H bonds give water its high surface tension and high capillarity. Except for metals and molten salts, water has the highest surface tension. Plants use capillarity to absorb liquid from the soil, surface tension is used in numerous ways.  
🗑

How to calculate atoms per unit cell   show
🗑

🗑
show Each layer of spheres is placed directly above another one. Only 52% of space is occupied under this arrangement which is low, meaning most atoms aren’t packed this way.

🗑
The properties of ionic solids are a direct consequence of …   show
🗑
show The properties of metals—high electrical and thermal conductivity, luster, and malleability—result from the presence of delocalized electrons. Most metals crystallize in the two closest packed structures.  
🗑
show Because they have the same structure but twice as many delocalized valence electrons.  
🗑

🗑
How does band theory work?   show
🗑
In metals, the valence and conduction bands are contiguous: what does that mean?   show
🗑
show Because the electrons are free to move around, they can absorb and release photons of many frequencies as they move between the valence and conduction bands.  
🗑
show The valence and conduction bands of a conductor have no gap between them, so electrons can flow easily even when a small electrical potential difference is applied. As temperature increases, greater random motion hinders movement.  
🗑
show Relatively small energy gap exists between the valence and conduction bands. Thermally excited electrons can cross the gap, allowing a small current to flow. Thus, conductivity of a semiconductor increases when heated.  
🗑
Insulators (nonmetals)   show
🗑
Superconductivity   show
🗑
Crystal defects   show
🗑
show Pure silicon is a poor conductor at room temp because the gaps between the valence and conduction bands are too large. Its conductivity can be greatly enhanced by doping, adding small amount of other elements.

🗑
show Refers to a material that, when deformed, it returns to its original shape.  
🗑
show Smaller chains appended to a polymer backbone. As the number of branches increases, the chains cannot pack together as well, so the degree of crystallinity decreases and the polymer becomes less rigid.  
🗑
The more branches…   show
🗑
show The ultimate branched polymers. Prepared from monomers with three or more attachment points, so each monomer forms branches. In essence, these polymers have no backbone, just branches.  
🗑
show Branches that link one chain to another. The extent of the crosslinking can result in remarkable differences in properties.  
🗑
Thermoplastic polymer   show
🗑
show A larger degree of crosslinking will eventually yield a thermoset polymer: one that can no longer flow because it has become a single network. Below their T_g level, some thermosets are extremely rigid and used in bicycle helmets and other things.  
🗑
show Above their glass transition temperatures, many thermosets become elastomers, polymers that can be stretched and immediately spring back to their initial shapes when released.
