Matter and its Composition

Matter is anything that has mass and can occupy space.
It is composed of baryonic materials.

Phases of Matter

Solid phase: strong intermolecular forces between neighboring particles, keeping them locked in position, making them non-compressible.
Liquid phase: intermolecular attractive forces hold particles close together, making them dense and less compressible, with a definite volume.
Gas phase: no fixed volume or shape, can diffuse and fill a container, with the capacity to expand.

Temperature and Kinetic Energy

Temperature is a measurement of how hot or cold matter is.
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object in motion.

Kinetic Molecular Theory

Matter is composed of particles that are constantly in motion, possessing kinetic energy.
The amount of kinetic energy in a substance is directly proportional to its temperature.
There is a space between particles, and the amount of space is related to the substance's state of matter.
Phase changes occur when the temperature of the substance changes sufficiently.

Intermolecular Forces

Intermolecular forces are attractive forces that act between molecules.
Types of intermolecular forces:
- Dipole-dipole force: between oppositely charged poles of polar molecules.
- Hydrogen bond: between polar molecules containing an electronegative oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
- Ion-dipole force: between an ion and a polar molecule.
- London dispersion force: a weak intermolecular force arising from interactive forces between instantaneous dipoles or induced dipoles in molecules, proposed by Fritz London.

Note on Intramolecular Forces

Intramolecular forces are attractive forces that act within a molecule, distinguishing them from intermolecular forces that act between molecules.

Learn about the characteristics of matter according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory, including the common phases of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Understand the properties of each phase and the intermolecular forces that influence their behavior.
