Intermolecular Forces, Liquids, and

SolidsChapter 11 – Brown & LeMay

Temperature Review Measure of kinetic energy What can you say about the KE of salt

particles, water molecules, and oxygen particles at room temperature?

State determined by strength of forces that keep particles together

Strength Compare energy needed for phase change

vs. decomposition in HCl(l) Intermolecular (called weak) because they

are weaker than ionic or covalent Boiling point reflects strength of bonds in

liquid Melting point reflects strength of bonds in

solids

Kinds of Intermolecular Forces Three major kinds: dipole-dipole, London

dispersion, and hydrogen bonding In solutions, ion-dipole All are electrostatic in nature Approximately 15% of covalent or ionic

strength

Ion - dipole When? Ionic solid + polar liquid Increases with increasing charge of ion or

polarity of solvent Determines solubility

Dipole-Dipole forces Weaker than previous + end of one attracts – end of another If size is equal, more polar has stronger

dipole attractions. (NH3 vs H2O) If polarity is the same but masses differ,

than smallest is stronger. (Able to orient better)

London Dispersion Forces All molecules have this Only attraction in nonpolar molecules How can Iodine be a solid? Temporary lopsided charge builds up from

random motion of electrons - 1930 Increases with mass – we say it has greater

polarizability Straight molecule is more polarizable than a

curled up molecule – why? Halogen Family is a great essay

Hydrogen Bond Strongest of all “weak” forces Is caused when H is bonded to F, O, or N These are so electronegative that the H is a

“naked nucleus” or bare proton Very attractive! Will bond to nearby electron pairs

Importance of Hydrogen Bonding Biological systems

– DNA, proteins Water chemistry

(MP, BP, specific heat, surface tension)

Density of ice

Density Most solids are more dense than

liquid Water is less dense because of

hydrogen bonding At 4°C, water becomes less

dense Important for life in winter Causes lake turnover Alum example

Practice Look at Flow Chart

Properties of Liquids Viscosity “Slower than….. Resistance of a liquid to flow Time it as it goes through a small tube with gravity

acting upon it. Poise – 1g/cm-s Trends – same substance – decreases with

increasing temperatureseries (same structure) – increases with increasing mass

Surface Tension How many drops on a penny? Uneven forces at surface Acts like pond scum Definition – energy needed to increase the surface area of

a liquid by a certain amount Water is high – why?

Called “cohesive” force – together Water moving up a stem – adhesive force Capillary acion – rise up a thin tube Meniscus!

Phase Changes Solid to Liquid is called Heat of Fusion Hfus

For water, 6 kJ/mol

Liquid to Gas is called Heat of Vaporization

Hvap

For water, 40.7 kJ/mol

Hsub is sum of each

Heating Curve Try a problem Remember - flat during phase change,

temperature change when heating a single phase

Cooling is opposite

Supercooling Happens with some liquids - remove heat

and it doesn’t freeze when it should Very unstable May happen during hibernation

Critical Temperature Highest temperature at which a liquid can

form from a gas when pressure is applied. Above this, the substance is called a

supercritical fluid. Gas just becomes more compressed. Critical pressure - pressure at the critical

temperature

Vapor pressure Vapor pressure forms above any liquid if

container is closed – why? Equilibrium is reached This is vapor pressure Higher if forces holding liquid together are

weak - called a volatile (fleeing) liquid

Boiling Point Temperature at which the VP equals

atmospheric pressure Normal BP - boiling point at 1 atm Everest? Autoclave?

Structure of Solids Amorphous (rubber, plastics) - large or

mixtures - no true structure Crystalline - highly ordered structure Crystalline solids have true melting points

Unit Cell Repeating unit of a

solid 7 types – (6-sided

parallelograms) Ni, Na, NaCl Array of points in the

crystal lattice

3 cubic unit cells

Packing Spheres naturally pack hexagonally Animation

Bonding Shown by x-ray diffraction Molecular - low MP If unit packs well, mp can be high Covalent Network Solid - very strong Many covalent bonds in 3-D Diamond, graphite, SiO2, SiC, BN Ionic - greater charge, greater MP Metallic solids - hexagonal close packed, mp
