Term
Particle Size
Definition
Gas particles are small and far apart. There are no significant attractive or repulsive forces between them.
Term
Particle Motion
Definition
Particles are in constant, random motion. They move in straight lines until they collide. Collisions are elastic (no kinetic energy is lost).
Term
Particle Energy
Definition
Mass and velocity determine the kinetic energy of the particle.
Term
Temperature
Definition
Average kinetic energy.
Term
Behavior of Gases based on Kinetic-Molecular Theory
Definition
Low densities, can be compressed/expanded, gases diffuse through a material from high to low concentration, gases with lower mass diffuse faster, and gases effuse through a small opening in the same way.
Term
Graham's Law of Effusion
Definition
(V1)/(V2) = Square root of (M2)/(M1) where V is velocity and M is the molar mass.
Term
Gas Pressure is Measured in...
Definition
Force per unit area (pascal, kPa, psi, mm HG, inches Hg, torr, atm).
Term
Gases exert pressure when...
Definition
They hit the sides of the container.
Term
Atmospheric Pressure
Definition
The force of air particles.
Term
Barometers and manometers are used to measure what respectively?
Definition
Air pressure and the pressure of any gas in a closed container.
Term
Standard Pressure at 1atm and 0 Degrees Celsius is...
Definition
101.3 kPa or 760 mm Hg.
Term
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure
Definition
P Total = P1 + P2 + P3... where P equals amount of pressure.
Term
Intra-molecular Forces
Definition
Attractive forces in ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds.
Term
Intermolecular Forces
Definition
Forces of attraction between particles.
Term
Dispersion Forces
Definition
Attraction between temporary dipoles formed by repelling electron clouds. Occurs between all particles and are stronger with more electrons.
Term
Dipole-Dipole Forces
Definition
Attractions between opposite regions in polar molecules. Stronger than dispersion forces of equal sized particles.
Term
Hydrogen Bonds
Definition
Dipole-dipole attraction when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom. Is the strongest intermolecular force and explains properties of water like high boiling point and high surface tension.
Term
Liquids volume and shape is...
Definition
Fixed and variable.
Term
Liquid is how much more dense than gas?
Definition
1000 times more.
Term
Liquids can be compressed how much?
Definition
Only a very small amount.
Term
Viscosity
Definition
Measure of the resistance to flow, determined by intermolecular forces.
Term
Surface Tension
Definition
Energy required to change the surface area.
Term
Capillary Action
Definition
Movement of water because of cohesion and adhesion.
Term
The intermolecular forces of solids are...
Definition
Strong.
Term
Particles of solids move as...
Definition
Vibrations in a fixed location.
Term
Crystalline Solids
Definition
Orderly arrangement of molecules.
Term
Atomic Solids
Definition
Very low melting points (noble gases).
Term
Molecular Solids
Definition
Medium melting points, soft (water, sugar).
Term
Covalent Network Solids
Definition
Multiple covalent bonds, very high melting points, very hard (graphite, diamond).
Term
Ionic Solids
Definition
Hard, brittle, high melting points (salt).
Term
Metallic Solids
Definition
Positive metal ions in a sea or mobile electrons.
Term
Amorphous Solids
Definition
No orderly arrangement (glass, rubber, plastic).
Term
Vapor Pressure
Definition
Pressure exerted by a vapor over a liquid.
Term
Phase Diagrams
Definition
Shows phases at various temperatures and pressures.
Term
Triple Point
Definition
Temperature and pressure where all phases coexist.
