    Study Notes

    Kinetic Molecular Theory

    • Matter is composed of tiny particles
    • These particles are constantly in motion
    • Particle speed is directly proportional to temperature; higher temperature means greater speed
    • Solids, liquids, and gases differ in the distances between particles, the freedom of particle motion, and the extent of particle interaction

    States of Matter

    • Solid: Particles are closely packed, fixed in position, and interact strongly
    • Liquid: Particles are close together but not fixed in position, have some freedom of movement, and interact relatively strongly
    • Gas: Particles are widely dispersed and have high freedom of movement; interactions are weak

    Intermolecular Forces

    • Attractive forces between molecules or particles in solids and liquids
    • Weaker than intramolecular forces (bonds within molecules)
    • Types include:
      • Dipole-dipole forces: Occur between polar molecules due to opposite charges attracting
      • Hydrogen bonding: Strong dipole-dipole attraction involving hydrogen bonded to a highly electronegative atom (e.g., N, O, F)
      • Ion-dipole forces: Attraction between an ion and a polar molecule, crucial in dissolving ionic compounds in water
      • London dispersion forces: Weakest intermolecular force, caused by temporary, induced dipoles in nonpolar molecules
      • Dipole-induced dipole forces: Forces between a polar molecule and a nonpolar molecule, inducing a temporary dipole in the nonpolar molecule

    Properties of Liquids

    • Surface tension: The elastic force in the liquid's surface, manifesting as a skin-like property. Liquids with strong intermolecular forces have high surface tension.
    • Capillary action: The tendency of a liquid to rise in narrow tubes or be drawn into small openings due to the attractions between the liquid and the solid walls (cohesion and adhesion).
    • Viscosity: A liquid's resistance to flow. Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher viscosity.
    • Vapor pressure: The pressure exerted by a substance's vapor when it is in equilibrium with its liquid or solid phase. Substances with strong intermolecular forces have low vapor pressures.
    • Boiling point: The temperature at which a liquid's vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure. Higher intermolecular forces result in higher boiling points.
    • Heat of vaporization: The energy required to vaporize one mole of liquid at its boiling point. Stronger intermolecular forces require more energy for vaporization.

    Types of Solids

    • Crystalline solids: Highly regular arrangement of particles in a well-defined crystal lattice. Unit cells are repeating units defining the lattice's structure.
    • Amorphous solids: Particles have irregular, disordered arrangement.

    Phase Changes

    • Transformations of matter from one physical state (solid, liquid, or gas) to another.
    • Occur when energy is added or removed from the substance.
    • Characterized by changes in molecular order.
    • Types of phase changes:
      • Melting: Solid to liquid
      • Freezing: Liquid to solid
      • Vaporization: Liquid to gas
      • Condensation: Gas to liquid
      • Sublimation: Solid to gas
      • Deposition: Gas to solid

    Phase Diagrams

    • Graphical representation of the physical states of a substance under various temperature and pressure conditions.
    • Illustrates phase changes.
    • Includes:
      • Triple point: Temperature and pressure where all three states (solid, liquid, gas) coexist in equilibrium
      • Critical point: Temperature and pressure beyond which the liquid and gas phases merge into a single supercritical fluid phase.
