Study Notes
Properties of Water
- Surface tension in H2O pulls water up tubes, contributing to capillary action.
- Cohesion refers to intermolecular attraction between like molecules.
- Adhesion describes intermolecular attraction between unlike molecules.
Viscosity
- Viscosity measures a fluid's resistance to flow; higher intermolecular forces (IMF) result in higher viscosity.
Solid State Characteristics
- Particles in a solid are fixed in a lattice structure, with cohesive forces predominating over dispersive forces.
- Solids have a fixed shape, volume, and density, with little thermal expansion; particles have limited movement.
Phase Changes
- Phase changes involve transitions between different states characterized by molecular organization shifts, influenced by temperature.
- Equilibrium vapor pressure is the maximum vapor pressure a liquid can exert at a given temperature, contingent on condensation and evaporation dynamics.
- The molar heat of vaporization (MHV) is the energy required to vaporize 1 mole of liquid at its boiling point; directly related to the strength of intermolecular forces.
Bonding and Molecular Structure
- Polar covalent bonds have uneven electron density, while the non-polar covalent bonds have equally shared electrons.
- Electronegativity governs molecular polarity: nonpolar < polar < ionic.
Lewis Structures and Formal Charges
- When writing Lewis structures, the least electronegative atom often serves as the central atom, with hydrogen and helium being exceptions.
- Formal charge (FC) is calculated as the difference between an atom's valence electrons and assigned electrons. The sum of formal charges must equal the overall charge of the molecule.
Resonance Structures
- Resonance structures are different Lewis representations of a molecule that cannot be accurately depicted by a single structure.
- Resonance indicates that all bonds in a molecule should have similar lengths.
Molecular Geometry
- VSEPR theory posits that electron pairs around an atom maximize their separation, influencing molecular shapes and geometries classified as Molecular Group Geometry (MGG) and Electron Group Geometry (EGG).
- Lone pairs exert stronger repulsion than bonded pairs, affecting bond angles.
Dipole Moments
- Dipole moments occur in polar molecules, aligning positive and negative charges; they are additive in diatomic and multiple atom molecules.
- Molecular geometry aids in predicting dipole moments, which depend on the arrangement of polar bonds.
Intermolecular Forces
- Intermolecular forces are crucial in determining the properties of liquids and solids, including dipole-dipole forces between polar molecules.
- Hydrogen bonding occurs uniquely between polar molecules containing O, N, and F, requiring both hydrogen donors and acceptors.
- Ion-dipole forces arise from the interaction between ions and polar molecules, with cations typically interacting more strongly than anions.
Dispersion Forces
- London dispersion forces arise from temporary dipoles induced in atoms/molecules and are present in all types of bonding.
- Polarizability describes how easily a dipole can be induced, depending on ion charge and dipole strength.
Intramolecular Forces
- Intramolecular forces hold atoms together within a molecule and are generally stronger than intermolecular forces, requiring more energy to disrupt.
Phases and Properties of Liquids
- In the liquid state, particles are close with minimal compressibility; they have limited thermal expansion due to numerous neighboring interactions.
- Surface tension is the energy needed to stretch or increase the surface area of a liquid, with stronger intermolecular forces resulting in higher surface tension.
- Capillary action exemplifies how liquids adhere to surfaces, such as water clinging to glass tubes.
