Term
kinetic-molecular theory
Definition
based on the idea that particles of matter are always in motion
Term
ideal gas
Definition
a hypothetical gas that perfectly fits all the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory (don't actually exist)
Term
elastic collision
Definition
one in which there is no net loss of total kinetic energy
Term
gas expansion
Definition
gasses do not have definite shape or a definite volume
Term
gas fluidity
Definition
gas particles glide easily past one another. this flow causes gases to behave as liquids do. Both referred to as FLUIDS.
Term
gas Low Density
Definition
the density of a gaseous substance at atmospheric pressure is about 1/1000 the density of the same substance in the liquid or solid state.
Term
gas compressibiliy
Definition
When they are are full, such cylinders may contain more than 100 times as many particles of gas as nonpressurized containers of the same size could contain.
Term
diffusion
Definition
spontaneous mixing of the paricles of two substances caused by their random motion.
Term
effusion
Definition
a process by which gas particles pass through a tiny opening
Term
real gas
Definition
does not behave completely according to the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory
Term
gas forces of attraction
Definition
there are no forces of attraction between gas particles
Term
gas temperature
Definition
the temperature of a gas depends on the average kinetic energy of the particles of the gas. KE=1/2mv^2. All gases of the same temp have the same kinetic energy.
Term
liquid
Definition
a form of matter that has a definite volume and takes the shape of its container.
Term
liquid attraction
Definition
cause by the IMF's such as dipoles and London Dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding
Term
fluid
Definition
a substance that can flow and therefore take the shape of its container.
Term
liquid density
Definition
less dense than a solid, but more than a gas. WATER IS LESS DENSE WHEN IT SOLIDIFIES.
Term
liquid incompressibility
Definition
much less compressible than gases. can't be compressed very easily. LOW COMPRESSIBILITY
Term
liquid diffusion
Definition
much slower in liquids than in gases, but can go faster as the temp increases. liquid particles diffuse to combine with other liquid particles.
Term
surface tension
Definition
a force that tends to pull adjacent parts of a liquid's surface together, thereby decreasing surface area to the smallest possible size. SPHERICAL SHAPE.
Term
Capillary action
Definition
the attraction of the surface of a liquid to the surface of a solid. i.e. MENISCUS.
Term
vaporization
Definition
the process by which a liquid or solid changes to a gas
Term
Evaporation
Definition
the process by which particles escape from the surface of a non boiling liquid and enter the gas state. occurs because the particles of a liquid have different kinetic energies
Term
boiling
Definition
the change of a liquid to bubbles of vapor that appear throughout the liquid
Term
Formation of solids - Freezing/solidification
Definition
The physical change of a liquid to a solid by removal of energy as heat
Term
crystalline solids
Definition
consist of crystals
Term
crystal
Definition
a substance in which the particles are arranged in an orderly, geometric, repeating pattern.
Term
amorphous solid
Definition
one in which the particles are arranged randomly in a solid
Term
Melting
Definition
the physical change of a solid to a liquid by the addition of energy as heat
Term
melting point
Definition
The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid
Term
supercooled liquids
Definition
substances that retain certain liquid properties even at temperatures at which they appear to be solid
Term
solid high density/incompressibility
Definition
solids have the highest density and incompressibility of all the states of matter.
Term
solid rate of diffusion
Definition
they do sometimes diffuse, however, it takes a solid millions of times longer than a liquid or a gas
Term
crystal structure
Definition
the total 3-D arrangement of particles of a crystal
Term
unit cell
Definition
the smallest portion of a crystal lattice that shows the 3-D pattern of the entire lattice. each crystal lattice contains many of these.
Term
ionic crystals
Definition
consists of positive and negative ions arranged in a regular pattern. can be monatomic or polyatomic
Term
covalent network crystals
Definition
each atom is covalently bonded to its nearest neighboring atoms
Term
metallic crystals
Definition
consists of metal cations surrounded by a sea of delocalized valence electrons
Term
covalent molecular crystals
Definition
consists of covalently bonded molecules held together by IMF's
Term
amorphous
Definition
without shape
Term
phase
Definition
any part of a system that has uniform composition and properties
Term
condensation
Definition
the process by which a gas changes to a liquid
Term
equilibrium
Definition
a dynamic condition in which two opposing changes occur at equal rates in a closed system.
Term
equilibrium vapor pressure
Definition
the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its corresponding liquid at a given temperature
Term
volaile liquids
Definition
liquids that evaporate readily (have relatively weak forces of attraction between their particles
Term
boiling
Definition
the conversion of a liquid to a vapor within the liquid as well as at its surface
Term
boiling point
Definition
the temperature at which the equilibrium vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure (lower the atmospheric pressure, the lower the boiling point)
Term
vacuum evaporator
Definition
causes boiling at lower than normal temperatures
Term
molar enthalpy of vaporization
Definition
the amount of energy as heat that is needed to vaporize one mole of liquid at the liquid's boiling point at constant pressure
Term
freezing
Definition
the physical change of a liquid to a solid
Term
freezing point
Definition
the temperature at which the solid and liquid are in equilibrium at 1 atm
Term
molar enthalpy of fusion
Definition
the amount of energy as heat required to melt one mole of solid at the solid's melting point
Term
sublimation
Definition
he change of state from a solid directly to a gas
Term
deposition
Definition
the change of state from a gas directly to a solid
Term
phase diagram
Definition
a graph of pressure versus temperature that shows the conditions under which the phases of a substance exist
Term
triple point
Definition
indicates the temperature and pressure conditions at which the solid, liquid, and vapor of the substance can coexist at equilibrium
Term
critical point
Definition
indicates the critical temperature and critical pressure
Term
critical temperature
Definition
the temperature above which the substance cannot exist in the liquid state
Term
critical pressure
Definition
the lowest pressure at which the substance can exist as a liquid at the critical temperature
