Kinetic Molecular Theory

The kinetic molecular theory explains the behavior of gases based on the idea that matter is made of constantly moving tiny particles, and these particles move faster at higher temperatures.

Solids in the Kinetic Model

Solids have a fixed shape and volume because their particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.

Liquids in the Kinetic Model

Liquids have a fixed volume but can change shape because their particles are close together but can move past each other.

Intermolecular Forces

The forces between molecules are called intermolecular forces. They attract molecules to each other.

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.
