How do strong intermolecular forces affect boiling and melting points?
How do strong intermolecular forces affect boiling and melting points?
- They only increase boiling points, not melting points.
- They have no effect on the boiling and melting points.
- They increase both boiling and melting points. (correct)
- They lower both boiling and melting points.
What is the characteristic of an electron in an excited state?
What is the characteristic of an electron in an excited state?
- Electrons are unstable and do not occupy defined positions.
- Electrons are at their lowest energy levels.
- Electrons emit energy in the form of heat.
- Electrons absorb energy and move to a higher energy level. (correct)
What process occurs when bonds are broken?
What process occurs when bonds are broken?
- Energy is released.
- Energy is neither absorbed nor released.
- Energy is absorbed. (correct)
- The chemical reaction remains at equilibrium.

Flashcards
Intermolecular Forces (IMF)
Intermolecular Forces (IMF)
The strength of the attractions between molecules. Stronger intermolecular forces mean more energy is required to overcome them, resulting in higher melting and boiling points.
Excited State
Excited State
This is when an electron moves to a higher energy level, requiring energy to be absorbed.
Spectra
Spectra
The unique spectral lines produced by an element when it emits light. These lines can be used to identify the element.

Study Notes
Boiling Point and Melting Point
-
Boiling point and melting point depend on the strength of intermolecular forces (IMF)
-
Strong IMF means high boiling point and high melting point
Electron Configuration
- Electrons in the ground state fill each shell to its full capacity (e.g., 64)
- Energy is absorbed when moving to the next shell
- Energy is released (as light) when returning to the ground state (unstable)
- Use spectra to identify elements
Density Calculation
- Use Table T to calculate density, percentage error, and heat capacity
Chemical Bonding
- Energy is absorbed when bonds are broken
- Energy is released when bonds are formed
Naming Ionic Compounds
- For ionic compounds, name the metal cation first, followed by the nonmetal anion
- If the polyatomic ion, consult Table E
Heating and Cooling Curves
- When temperature on a heating curve increases, kinetic energy also increases
- For a cooling curve, when temperature changes, so does kinetic energy
