Study Notes
Intermolecular Forces and States of Matter
- Intermolecular forces are attractive forces between molecules.
- The strength of these forces determines the physical state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas).
- High pressures generally favor liquids and solids because the atoms are packed closer together.
- Low pressures and high temperatures favor gases (less dense).
- High temperatures favor liquids and gases because the atoms are less tightly packed, are more mobile and energetic.
- The phase diagram for water shows the relationship between temperature, pressure, and the state of matter.
- Water's solid phase is less dense than its liquid phase, which is why ice floats.
- The heat of fusion is the energy required to change a solid at its melting point to a liquid.
- The heat of vaporization is the energy required to change a liquid at its boiling point to a gas.
- The heat of sublimation is the energy required to change a solid directly to a gas.
- A heating curve plots temperature vs. heat added, showing the temperature changes during phase changes.
Vapor Pressure
- At any temperature, some liquid molecules have enough energy to escape the surface and become a gas.
- As the temperature rises, the fraction of molecules that have enough energy to break free increases.
- As more molecules escape the liquid, the pressure they exert increases.
- Liquid and vapor reach a state of dynamic equilibrium when liquid molecules evaporate and vapor molecules condense at the same rate.
- The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
- The normal boiling point is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is 760 torr.
Properties of Water
- Water has a high boiling point, specific heat, density in its liquid form, surface tension and heat of vaporization, all due to strong hydrogen bonds.
Classifying Solids
- Solids can be classified as either crystalline or amorphous.
- Crystalline solids have a highly regular arrangement of components.
- Amorphous solids have considerable disorder in their structure.
X-ray Diffraction
- X-ray diffraction is used to determine the structure of a solid.
Crystalline Solids
- A lattice is a three-dimensional system of points designating the positions of the components of a crystal.
- The smallest repeating unit of the lattice is called the unit cell.
- Crystalline solids can be classified based on their unit cell, which can be simple cubic, body-centered cubic, or face-centered cubic.
Types of Crystalline Solids
- Crystalline solids can be classified into various categories according to their components and bonding:
- Ionic Solids: Consist of metal and nonmetal ions.
- Covalent Solids: Made up of atoms joined by covalent bonds.
- Molecular Solids: Composed of nonmetal atoms held together by intermolecular forces between molecules.
- Atomic Solids: Consist of a single element.
- Metallic Solids: Consist of metal atoms bound by metallic bonds.
Ionic Solids
- Ionic substances have ions at the points of the lattice, which describe the structure of the compound.
- Examples include NaCl, FeSO4, and Al2S3.
Molecular Solids
- Molecular solids have discrete covalently bonded molecules at the points of their lattice.
- Water (ice) is an example of a molecular crystalline solid.
Atomic Solids
- Atomic solids have atoms at the points of the lattice.
- Examples include diamond (a network covalent solid), boron, silicon, and all metals.
Atomic Solids: Three Types
- Atomic solids are further divided into three types:
- Metallic Solids: These have delocalized non-directional covalent bonding. Examples include cesium and gold.
- Network Solids: In these solids, atoms bond to each other with strong directional covalent bonds, forming macromolecules or networks of atoms.
- Group VIIIA Solids: Noble gases are attracted to one another at low temperatures through weak London dispersion forces. Examples include krypton and xenon, both of which are cubic close-packed.
