Intermolecular forces, liquids and solids

Terms : Hide Images
forces of attraction between two different materials
solids with no long therm regularity
the temperature at which the equilibrium vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external boiling pressure
the spontaneous movement of a liquid up a tube
forces of attraction between molecules of the same material
the conversion of a material from the gaseous state into the liquid state
the point at which the vapor pressure vs. temperature curve for a material ends
the pressure at the critical point
the temperature above which a material cannot be liquefied, no matter how much pressure is applied
the solid regular array of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline solid
forces of attraction between a polar molecule and a non-polar molecule, this force is generated when the presence of a polar molecule causes the electrons in the non-polar molecule to shift, setting up a temporary dipole of the non polar molecule
forces of attraction b/w two polar molecules; the positive part of one will line up with the negative part of the other
a situation in which two reverse processes are occurring at the same rate
the solvation energy when the solvent is water
the pressure of the vapor of a substance in contact with its liquid (or solid) phase in a sealed container
the temperature at which a liquid freezes
the process of converting a liquid into a solid
a strong type of dipole-dipole interaction; it arises between a small very electronegative atom (usually F, O, or N) and a hydroven that is covalently bonded to another small very electronegative atom (usually F, O, or N)
temporary correlations of electron movements on different molecules that result in temporary dipoles being established and attracting the molecules to one another, while all molecules posses this type of intermolecular force, this is the only type of intermolecular force possible between two nonpolar moelcules
interactions between molecules, ions or molecules and ions
forces of attraction between an ion and a polar molecule; the ion and the portion of a polar molecule that has the opposite charge will line up and be attracted to one anohter
solids made up of positive and negative ions
the corners of a unit cell in a crystal lattice
the temperature at which a solid melts
the process of converting a solid to a liquid
solids in which molecules are the fundamental repeating unit
solids in which the atoms are held together in infinite two=or three- dimensional networks by means of covalent bonds
the boiling point under external pressure of 760 mmHg
in an ionic solid, an ion is in an octahedral hole if it is surrounded by six ions of the other element arranged in an octahedral geometry
a graph showing the state of matter present for a substance under different combinations of temperature and pressure
the ease with which the electron cloud of an atom or molecule can be distorted
the process of inducing a dipole
the energy associated with surrounding material with molecules of a solvent
the enthalpy change accompanying the transformation of 1 mole of a liquid into a solid under standard conditions
the enthalpy change accompanying the transformation of 1 mole of a solid into liquid under standard conditions
the enthalpy change accompanying the transformation of 1 mole of liquid into the gaseous state under standard conditions
the enthalpy change accompanying the transformation of 1 mole of a solid directly into the gaseous state under standard conditions
the process of converting a solid into a gas without passing through the liquid state
the energy required to break through the surface of a liquid or to disrupt a drop of the liquid and spread the material out as a film
in an ionic solid, an ion is in a tetrahedral hole if it is surrounded by four ions of the other element arranged in a tetrahedral geometry
the one combination of temperature and pressure where the solid, liquid and gaseous phases of a material are all in equilibrium with each other
the smallest repeating unit of a crystal lattice
the conversion of a material from the liquid state into the gaseous state
a measure of the resistance of liquids to flow; more viscous materials do not flow easily
the tendency of the molecules of a liquid to escape from the liquid phase and enter the vapor phase
