    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.
