Study Notes
Kinetic Molecular Model of Liquids and Solids
- The kinetic molecular theory provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the various states of matter—solids, liquids, and gases—by emphasizing the behavior and interaction of minuscule particles at the molecular level.
- Solids have particles that are closely packed and orderly.
- Liquids have particles that are less closely packed than solids. They are disordered.
- Gases have particles that are very far apart and are disordered.
Kinetic Energy and Particle Motion
- In solids, particles vibrate and rotate around fixed positions.
- In liquids, particles slide over each other.
- In gases, particles move at high speed.
Attractive Forces
- Solids have very strong attractive forces between particles.
- Liquids have strong attractive forces between particles.
- Gases have very weak attractive forces between particles.
- Attractive forces such as ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, and London dispersion forces are examples of intermolecular forces. Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole attraction that is stronger than other dipole-dipole attractions.
Types of Intermolecular Forces
- London Dispersion Forces (Dispersion Forces): Weakest force that exists between all types of molecules, caused by temporary fluctuations in electron distribution.
- Dipole-Dipole Forces: Attractive forces between polar molecules.
- Ion-Dipole Forces: Attractive forces between an ion and a polar molecule. Examples include salt dissolution.
- Hydrogen Bonds: Strong dipole-dipole attractions between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a highly electronegative F, O, or N atom, and another highly electronegative F, O, or N on a different molecule.
Molecular Shape and Dispersion Forces
- Long, thin molecules have greater dispersion forces than short, fat molecules of similar size.
- Polarizability increases with more electrons and a more diffuse electron cloud.
- Dispersion forces usually increase with increasing molar mass.
How to Determine if a Molecule is Polar
- Draw the Lewis structure.
- If all electron density regions are bonded to the same thing, the molecule is nonpolar.
- If electron density regions are not bound to the same thing, the molecule is polar.
Properties of Substances
- Boiling point and freezing point affect the rate of dissolution of a solid in water.
- Solids dissolve faster in hot water.
