Study Notes
Fundamental Forces of Nature
- Strong Nuclear Force: Binds protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei.
- Electromagnetic Force: Governs the attraction and repulsion of charged particles, binding electrons to the nucleus.
- Weak Nuclear Force: Plays a crucial role in radioactive decay and the formation of new elements in stars, contributing to supernova events.
- Gravitational Force: Causes objects to be attracted towards Earth.
Intermolecular Forces
- Definition: Attractive forces between molecules that hold matter in solid or liquid phases.
- Types of Intermolecular Forces:
- London Dispersion Forces: Present in all molecules; stronger in larger or highly polarizable molecules.
- Ion-Dipole Forces: Attractive forces between ions and polar molecules; strength increases with ion charge.
- Dipole-Dipole Forces: Occur between polar molecules due to electrostatic interactions among dipoles.
- Hydrogen Bonding: A special case of dipole-dipole interaction involving hydrogen bonded to electronegative elements (F, O, N).
Properties of Matter Influenced by Intermolecular Forces
-
Solubility:
- Defined as the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature.
- Miscible Liquids: Liquids that can mix together.
- Immiscible Liquids: Liquids that do not mix.
- Hydrophilic Substances: Interact well with water, mainly exhibiting dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonding.
- Hydrophobic Substances: Function negatively with water, primarily influenced by London dispersion forces.
-
Melting Point:
- The temperature where a solid converts to a liquid; higher melting points correlate with stronger intermolecular forces.
-
Boiling Point:
- The temperature where a liquid converts to gas; also higher in substances with strong intermolecular forces.
-
Surface Tension:
- Caused by molecular attractions at the liquid's surface.
- Cohesive forces: Attractive forces between similar molecules.
- Adhesive forces: Attractive forces between different types of molecules.
- Strong IMFA leads to higher surface tension, while weak IMFA results in lower surface tension.
-
Viscosity:
- Measures a fluid’s resistance to flow; thicker fluids exhibit higher viscosity.
- Increased intermolecular forces result in higher viscosity.
-
Vapor Pressure:
- The pressure exerted by vapor in equilibrium with its liquid phase in a closed environment; related to the strength of intermolecular forces.
