the amount of energy required to increase teh surface area by one area unit
surface tension (J/m2)
hydrogen bonding leads to higher surface tension
the intermolecular forces acting between its own particules that tend to hold the liquid together
cohesive forces
the intermolecular ineractions between the partciles of a liquid and those of a solid surface
adhesive forces
capillary action occurs when...
adhesive forces are stronger than cohesive forces
resistance to flow
viscosity
a more viscous liquid has...
stronger intermolecular forces
long chain-like molecules
important facts about water:
high heat capacity
high melting point
high boiling point
large enthalpy of vaporization
large enthalpy of fusion
utility as a solvent
solid form is less dense than its liquid form
(consequences of the very polar/hydrogen bonding nature)
crystalline solid
the pattern of fixed particule positions is regular and the pttern is repeated throughout the solid
amorphous solid
the particle positions are fixed but without a regular, repating pattern
unit cell
for a crystalline solid, a single instance of the repeating pattern
lattice points
locations occupied by particules that define the unit cell (atoms, molecules, or ions)
cubic crystal facts:
each cubic unit cell is face to face adjacent to six other unit cells in a crystal lattice
a single atom or ion at the periphery of one cell will extend into adjacent cells
a particule located that the corner of a cubic unit cell extends equally into eight cells; each corner particule contributes 1/8th of a particle to the occupation of a given cell
simple cubic cell (sc)
only has corner particles
only contains one particle
a = 2r
52% packing efficiency
body-centered cubic (bcc) cell
lies completely within the cell
contains two particles (center particule and the eight eights of the corner particles)
a = (4/square root of 3) x r
68% packing efficiency
face-ceneterd cubic (fcc) cell
lies half within one cell and half within another cell
contains 4 particules (3 "face" particles and the eight eights of the corner particle)
also known as "ccp"
a = (square root of 8) (r)
r = (square root of 2) (a) / 4
74% packing efficiency
same packng eficiency as hexagonal closest packing (hcp)
coordination number
the number of neighbors in contact with a given particle
the higher the coordination number, the less empty space in the crystal
packing efficiency
percent of the lattice which is actually occupied by particles
(V occupied/V total) (100)
volume of an atom
4/3 pi r3
atomic and molecular solids
held in place by intermolecular forces
soft
low melting points
poor conductors of heat and electrical current
network covalent solids
held in place by covalent bonds
3-dimensions: crystal is strong (diamond)
2-dimensional: strong layers held weakly togther by dispersion forces (graphite)
poor conductors of heat and electrical current
ionic solids
includes a cation and an anion held in place by ionic bonds
strong
hard
high melting points
poor conductors of heat and electrical current in crystalline form
good conductors when melted
metallic solids
good conductors of heat and electical current
strength and rigidity vary greatly
molar enthalpy of vaporization
the amount of thermal energy that must be added to a 1 mole sample of a liquid at its boiling point in order to convert it to 1 mole of gas at that same temperature
molar enthalpy of fusion
the amount of thermal energy required to melt 1 mole of a solid at its melting point
