Term
condensed state examples
Definition
solids and liquids
Term
intermolecuar forces
Definition
forces that cause the aggregation of the components of a substance to form a liquid or a solid. (Does not include covalent or ionic bonding)
Term
dipole-dipole attention
Definition
molecules with dipole moments can attract each other electrostatically by lining up so the positive and negative ends are close to each other
Term
hydrogen bonding
Definition
dipole-dipole attractions between H and N, O, or F
because H is so small, they can get close and N, O, F are highly electronegative
Term
London dispersion forces (LDF)
Definition
Forces between noble gases and nonpolar molecules because of an instantaneous dipole moment. Significant for big molecules.
Term
instantaneous dipole
Definition
electrons move around and the nonsymmetrical electron distribution can affect the electron distribution of a close atom.
Term
more O--H bonds...
Definition
higher boiling point
Term
Liquid characteristics
Definition
low compressibility, lack of rigidity, high density,
Term
Why liquid droplet is a sphere?
Definition
Less surface area (SA)
Term
Surface tension
Definition
Resistance of a liquid to an increase in its surface area
Term
Capillary Action
Definition
spontaneous rising of a POLAR liquid in a narrow tube
Term
cohesive forces
Definition
Forces between molecules of the liquid. Surface tension and capillary action.
Term
adhesive forces
Definition
forces between liquid molecules and their container
Term
why water creeps up sides of glass tube?
Definition
because its adhesive forces are stronger than its cohesive forces, forming a concave shape of the meniscus
Term
what raises boiling points?
Definition
H bonds, ionic forces, LDF (larger molecule has more), dipole-dipole forces.

Basically, all the forces
Term
the forces that occur between two polar molecules
Definition
dipole-dipole
Term
the force between a noble gas and a nonpolar molecule
Definition
London Dispersion Forces (LDF)
Term
bonding between N, O, or F and H
Definition
hydrogen bonding
Term
network solids
Definition
atoms, molecules, or ions occupy the lattice positions
Term
molecular solids
Definition
molecules occupy the lattice points
Term
ionic solids
Definition
ions occupy the lattice points
Term
atomic solids
Definition
atoms occupy the lattice points
