Term
Kinectic-Molecular Theory
Definition
is based on the idea that particles of matter are always in motion
Term
Ideal Gas
Definition
is a hypothetical gas that perfectly fits all the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory.
Term
Elastic Collision
Definition
is one in which there is no net loss of total kinetic energy
Term
Diffusion
Definition
spontaneous micing of the paritcles of two substances caused by their random motion
Term
Real Gas
Definition
is a gas that does not behave completely according to the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory
Term
Fluid
Definition
is a substance that can flow and therefore take the shape of its container
Term
Surface Tension
Definition
a force that tends to pull adjacent parts of a liquids surface together, thereby decreasing surface area to the smallest possible size
Term
Capillary Action
Definition
the attraction of the surface of a liquid to the surface of a solid.
Term
Vaporization
Definition
the process by which a liquid or a solid changes to gas
Term
Evaporation
Definition
the process by which particle escape from the surface of a nonboiling liquid and enter the gas state
Term
Freezing
Definition
the physical change of a liquid to a solid by removal of the energy as heat
Term
Crystalline Solids
Definition
consist of crystals
Term
Crystal
Definition
is a substance in which the particles are arranged in an orderly, geometic, repeating pattern
Term
Amorphous Solid
Definition
is one in which the paticles are arranged randomly
Term
Melting
Definition
is the physical change of a solid to a liquid by the addition of energy as heat.
Term
Melting Point
Definition
the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid
Term
Supercooled Liquids
Definition
which are substances that retain certain liquid properties even at temperatures at which they appear to be solid.
Term
Crystal Structure
Definition
the total three dimensional arrangement of particles of a crystal
Term
Unit Cell
Definition
the smallest portion of a crystal lattice that shows the three dimensional pattern of the entire lattice
Term
Phase
Definition
is any part of a system that has uniform composition and properties
Term
Condensation
Definition
is the process by which a gas changes to a liquid
Term
Equilibrium
Definition
a dynamic condition in which two opposing changes occur at equal rates in a closed system
Term
Equilibrium Vapor Pressure
Definition
the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its corresponding liquid at a given temperature
Term
Volatile Liquids
Definition
which are liquids that evaporate readily
Term
Boiling
Definition
is the coversion of a liquid to a vapor within the liquid as well as its surface
Term
Boiling Point
Definition
of a liquid is the temperature at which the equilibrium vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure
Term
Molar Enthalpy of Vaporization
Definition
the amount of energy as heat that is needed to vaporize one mole of liquid at the liquids boiling point at a constant pressure
Term
Freezing
Definition
the pysical change of a liquid to a solid
Term
Freezing Point
Definition
is the temperature at which the solid and liquid are in equilibrium at 1 atm pressure
Term
Molar Enthalpy of Fusion
Definition
the amount of energy as heat required to melt one mole of solid at the solids melting point
Term
Sublimation
Definition
The change of state from asolid directly to a gas
Term
Deposition
Definition
the change of state froma gas directly to a solid
Term
Phase Diagram
Definition
is a graph of pressure versus temperature that shows the conditions under which the phases of a substance exist
Term
Triple Point
Definition
of a substance indicates the temperature and pressure conditions at whihc the solid. liquid, and vapor of the substanc can coexist at equilibrium
Term
Critical Temperature
Definition
is the temperature above which the substance cannot exist in the liquid state
Term
Critical Pressure
Definition
is the lowest pressure at which the substance can exist as a liquid at the critical temperature
