  1. Dipole – Dipole Interactions: When there is polarity, a dipole forms. The opposite ends of the dipoles are attracted to each other.
  2. Hydrogen Bonding: Bonds between H, O, and F.
  3. London Dispersion Forces: instantaneous dipole attraction.

 

 

 

 

  1. Liquid: has definite volume, no definite shape. It flows, therefore taking the shape of the container.
  2. Fluid: substance that can flow and therefore take the shape of its container.
  3. Capillary Action: attraction of the surface of a liquid to the surface of a solid.
  4. Surface Tension: force that tends to pull adjacent parts of a liquid’s surface together, thereby decreasing surface area to smallest possible size.
  5. Vaporization: Liquid à Gas
  6. Evaporation: process by which particles escape from the surface of a nonboiling liquid and enter the gas state.
  7. Freezing: liquid à solid by removal of heat
  8. Amorphous solid: particles are arranged randomly
  9. Crystalline solid: consist of crystals
  10. Ionic crystals: between non metal and metal, particles arranged in orderly, geometry, repeating pattern
  11. Covalent network crystals: sites contain single atom, each atom is covalently bonded to its nearest neighboring atoms.
  12. Metallic crystals: metal atoms surrounded by a sea of valence electrons.
  13. Covalent molecular crystals: covalently bonded molecules held together by intermolecular forces.
  14. Equilibrium vapor pressure: pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its corresponding liquid at give temperature.
  15. Le Chatelier’s Principle: when a system at equilibrium is disturbed by application of a stress, it attains a new equilibrium position that minimizes stress.
  16. Boiling: conversion of liquid to a vapor with the liquid as well as surface. Occurs when equilibrium vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atm pressure.
  17. Molar Heat of Fusion: Amt. of heat energy needed to vaporize 1 mole of liquid at its boiling point.
