When a substance transitions from a gas to a liquid, what primarily occurs at the molecular level?
When a substance transitions from a gas to a liquid, what primarily occurs at the molecular level?
- The intermolecular forces between molecules weaken, allowing them to spread apart.
- The molecules undergo a change in their atomic structure, forming new compounds.
- The molecules gain kinetic energy, increasing their vibrational motion.
- The molecules lose kinetic energy, enabling stronger intermolecular forces to bring them closer together. (correct)

Flashcards
Gas to Liquid
Gas to Liquid
Molecules slow down, move closer together, and intermolecular forces become more significant.
Liquid to Gas
Liquid to Gas
Molecules speed up, move farther apart, and intermolecular forces weaken.

Study Notes
- Molecular behavior changes during phase transitions
- Gas to liquid: molecules slow down, move closer together
- Liquid to gas: molecules speed up, move further apart
- Helium and krypton: non-reactive due to full valence electron shells
- Ionic bonds typically form between metals and nonmetals
- Ionic bonds occur due to their positions on the periodic table related to electronegativity differences
- To transform gaseous carbon dioxide into solid carbon dioxide, decrease the temperature and/or increase the pressure.
Isotopes
- Isotopes: variants of an element with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons
Phase Change
- Evaporating water to produce gaseous water is a phase change
Viscosity
- Viscosity: a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow
Water
- A water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, represented by the chemical formula H2O
Physical vs Chemical Changes
- Physical changes affect the form of a substance, not its chemical composition
- Chemical changes involve the rearrangement of atoms and the breaking/forming of chemical bonds, resulting in a new substance
Alkali Metals
- Alkali metals are extremely reactive because they have only one valence electron, which they easily lose to form positive ions
Noble Gases
- Group 18 noble gases are inert due to having a full outer electron shell
Elements in the Same Family
- Elements in the same family (group) have similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons
Calcium and Chlorine Compound
- Calcium and chlorine will form CaCl2
Covalent Bonds
- Atoms share electrons in covalent bonds
Nucleus of an Atom
- The nucleus of an atom is smaller and denser than the entire atom, containing most of its mass
Chlorine Atom
- A neutral chlorine atom with an atomic number of 17 and a mass number of 35 contains:
- 17 protons
- 17 electrons
- 18 neutrons
Dinitrogen Tetroxide
- Dinitrogen tetroxide contains nitrogen and oxygen
Aluminum and Oxygen Compound
- Aluminum and oxygen form Al2O3
Identifying Atoms
- The number of protons identifies the element (atomic number)
Periodic Table Properties
- Elements in the same group (vertical column) on the periodic table have similar chemical properties
Electrons in Covalent Bonds
- Electrons are shared between atoms
Neutral Atoms
- Neutral atoms have an equal number of protons and electrons
Periodic Table Electron Number
- The atomic number indicates the number of electrons in an element
Gasses
- Gasses are being described
- Molecules move independently
- Takes shape of container, but volume remains the same
Floating
- An object will float if it has a density less than 1.00 g/mL
Mass Calculation
- Mass is found by multiplying density and volume
Chemical Reactions
- Examples of chemical reactions include combustion, oxidation, and neutralization
Chemical Reaction Types
- Synthesis
- Decomposition
- Single replacement
- Double replacement
Combustion Reaction
- A combustion reaction involves a fuel (usually a hydrocarbon) and an oxidant (usually oxygen)
Burning Wood Example
- Burning wood and leaving ash is an example of a decomposition reaction
Water Decomposition
- Water decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen gas
Balancing Equations
- Equations are balanced to ensure the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation
Law of Conservation of Mass
- The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction
Dissolving Rate
- Increase the dissolving rate of a substance by:
- Heating
- Stirring
