Study Notes
Intermolecular Forces
- Intermolecular forces include dipole-dipole forces, ion-dipole forces, hydrogen bonding, and London dispersion forces.
- Collectively, these are known as Van der Waals Forces, named after chemist Johannes van der Waals.
- Van der Waals forces are electrical in nature, arising from attraction between opposite charges in nearby molecules.
Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)
- KMT states all states of matter have component molecules possessing kinetic energy.
- KMT explains different kinetic energy levels, motion, and arrangement of molecules in gases, liquids, and solids.
- Gases lack definite shape and volume, filling any container due to constant and random motion with negligible attraction.
- Liquids have a definite volume but no fixed shape, transitioning from gas to liquid and then solid through phase changes.
Types of Intermolecular Forces
- Dipole-Dipole Forces: Attracts bond dipoles between different molecules due to unequal sharing of electrons in covalent bonds.
- Hydrogen Bonding: A weak bond occurring when hydrogen is bonded to electronegative atoms (O, N, F), close to lone pairs or negative charges, important in water's properties.
Properties of Water
- Water exists in all three phases (liquid, solid, gas) under normal Earth conditions.
- Specific heat of water is higher than most liquids, taking a longer time to heat or cool, which stabilizes temperatures globally.
- Maximum density of water is at 4°C; it expands upon freezing, causing ice to float.
- Water is the most effective polar solvent, dissolving a wide range of substances.
Water's Unique Chemical Behavior
- Water's hydrogen bonding gives it distinct properties, marking it as essential for life.
- Compounds with water (hydrates) contain fixed water molecules in their structure, affecting how they behave chemically.
Industrial and Agricultural Uses
- Water is crucial across various industries for product creation, processing, and cooling.
- In manufacturing, water is used to produce soft drinks, food products, and medications.
- Dams and reservoirs manage water flow for irrigation, supplying agriculture with necessary resources.
Environmental Concerns
- Human activities and climate change are impacting the hydrologic cycle, causing pollution and reducing water quality.
- Shrinking water supplies and altered distribution affect ecosystems and human populations.
Domestic Use
- An adult requires a minimum of 2 liters of water daily for drinking.
