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
Term
Elastic Collision
Definition
There is no net loss of kinetic energy
Term
Diffusion
Definition
Such spontaneous mixing of the particles 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
A gas that does not behave completely according to the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory
Term
Fluid
Definition
A substance that can flow and therefore take the shape of its container
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
Term
Capillary Action
Definition
The attraction of the surface of a liquid to the surface of a solid, is a property closely related to surface tension
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
Term
Freezing
Definition
The physical change of a liquid to a solid by removal of energy as heat; solidification
Term
Crystalline Solid
Definition
Solids made 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
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
Super-cooled Liquids
Definition
Substances that retain certain liquid properties even at temperatures at which they appear to be solid
Term
Crystal Structure
Definition
The total three-dimensional arrangement of particles of a crystal
Term
Unit Cell
Definition
The smallest portion of a crystal lattice that shows the three-dimensional pattern of the entire lattice
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 Pressures
Definition
The pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its corresponding liquid at a given temperature
Term
Volatile Liquids
Definition
Liquids that evaporate readily, relatively weak forces of attraction between their particles
Term
Boiling
Definition
Equilibrium vapor pressures can be used to explain and define, the conversion of a liquid to a vapor within the liquid as well as it's surface
Term
Boiling Point
Definition
A liquid is the temperature at which the equilibrium vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure
Term
Molar Enthalpy of Vaporization
Definition
The amount of energy that is needed to vaporize one mole of liquid at the liquid's boiling point at a 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 pressure
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
The 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; reveals how the states of a system change with changing temperature or pressure
Term
Critical Point
Definition
Indicated 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
