    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.
