Term
What are intramolecular forces? Give an example.
Definition
Forces that occur between the individual atoms of a compound. For example, ionic and covalent bonding.
Term
What are intermolecular forces? Name the three types.
Definition
Forces that occur between molecules in a substance. The three types are: Dipole-Dipole, Hydrogen Bonds, and London (a.k.a. Dispersion, Van Der Waal) Forces.
Term
What are Dipole-Dipole forces?
Definition
A type of intermolecular force where molecules are attracted to other molecules opposite dipoles.
Term
What are Hydrogen Bonds?
Definition
A type of intermolecular force similar to dipole-dipole forces except it only takes place between Hydrogen and O, N, or F.
Term
What does the strength of Dipole-Dipole forces depend upon?
Definition
The distance between molecules. The greater the distance, the weaker the forces, so at low pressure and in the gas phase, these forces are relatively unimportant.
Term
Why are Hydrogen Bonds so strong?
Definition
These types of forces are so strong because they occur between such small, extremely electronegative molecules.
Term
What is a characteristic of a molecule that is effected by hydrogen bonding?
Definition
A compound being effected by this type of force will have a high boiling point.
Term
What types of molecules experience London forces?
Definition
All molecules experience these types of forces.
Term
What is surface tension?
Definition
The resistance of a liquid to an increase in its surface area.
Term
What is capillary action?
Definition
The spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube.
Term
What are the two forces involved in capillary action?
Definition
Cohesive and adhesive forces are responsible for this.
Term
What are cohesive forces?
Definition
the intermolecular forces among the molecules of their container.
Term
What are adhesive forces?
Definition
the forces between the liquid molecules and their container.
Term
If a liquid's capillary action shows it 'creeping up the walls of it's container,' or it has a concave meniscus, what can we assume about it's adhesive and cohesive forces?
Definition
In this case, we can assume that the liquid's adhesive forces towards it's container are stronger than it's cohesive forces to itself.
Term
What is viscosity?
Definition
A measure of a liquid's resistance to flow.
Term
What factors affect a liquid's viscosity?
Definition
The strength of intermolecular forces as well as the molecule's complexity affect it's ability to flow.
Term
What type of intermolecular forces affect non polar molecules?
Definition
ONLY London forces affect these types of molecules.
Term
What shape (in relation to a liquid's surface tension), would be ideal and provide the smallest surface area?
Definition
A sphere is the ideal shape for liquid's with high intermolecular forces.
Term
What is a hydrophyillic surface?
Definition
A surface which water tries to maximize surface contact.
Term
What is a hydrophobic surface?
Definition
A surface with which water tries to minimize surface contact.
Term
What are ion-dipole interactions?
Definition
When ions and polar molecules attach to one another.
Term
What is hydration?
Definition
An instance of ion-dipole interactions where water molecules surround and bond to ions.
Term
Which is stronger: Dipole-Dipole or Ion-Dipole interactions?
Definition
Dipole-Dipole interactions are the stronger of these two forces.
Term
What affects the number of water molecules that surround an ion? f
Definition
Size and charge of the ion are factors in hydration.
Term
NOT ON YOUR FLASH CARDS:
Definition
SOLUBILITY RULES (you can find this at the end of the 'IMF notes part 1' lecture)
Term
In a class container, are polar molecules more likely to have strong or weak adhesive forces?
Definition
In that type of container, polar molecules have strong adhesive forces.
Term
What is an ionic solid?
Definition
A solid which consists of ions.
Term
What is a molecular solid?
Definition
A solid that doesn't consist of ions.
Term
What is the difference between ionic and molecular solids?
Definition
Ionic solids conduct electricity when dissolved in water, while molecular solids do not.
Term
What are atomic solids? Give an example.
Definition
Substances with all atoms occupying the lattice points. For example: graphite, diamonds, silicon, all metals, and boron.
Term
What determines the properties of a solid?
Definition
They are determined by the nature of the forces that hold it together.
Term
What are crystaline solids?
Definition
Solids that have a generally repeating pattern.
Term
What are some properties of crystalline solids?
Definition
Are able to be cleaved, have constant intermolecular forces throughout, and sharp melting points are all properties of this type of solid.
Term
What is an amorphous solid?
Definition
Solids that have no uniform structure.
Term
What are some properties of amorphous solids?
Definition
varying intermolecular forces throughout, shatter or break into random lumps, broad melting points are all properties of this type of solid.
Term
What are the four types of crystalline solids?
Definition
Metallic, Ionic, Molecular, and Network are the four types of this type of solid.
Term
What is the lattice unit for metals?
Definition
The lattice unit for this type of solid is the 'electron sea' model.
Term
What is the result of the 'electron sea' structure in metal solids?
Definition
Metals are malleable, ductile, and good electric and thermal conductors as a result of this type of structure.

Term
YOU SHOULD GET SOME HELP ON:
Definition
LATTICE UNITS
Term
What is the result of ions as the lattice structure of ionic solids?
Definition
Poor thermal and electrical conductors (unless dissolved in water), high m.p. and b.p.s, hard and brittle are all results of this type of solid due to ions as the lattice unit.
Term
What is the type of attraction between the lattice units in metallic solids?
Definition
the electron 'sea' or bands is the type of attraction between the lattice units in this type of solid.
Term
What is the type of attraction between the lattice units in ionic solids?
Definition
Attraction of ions is the type of attraction between the lattice units in this type of solid.
Term
What is the equation for lattice energy?
Definition
Lattice Energy= [k(Q1*Q2)]/r
Where:
r=distance between ions
k=constant for type of solid
Q1, Q2=charges on the ions
Term
What does a higher lattice energy entail?
Definition
Higher melting and boiling points are a result of this.

What is important to remember about the properties of molecular solids?
Definition
The properties of molecular solids vary from case to case and depend on the strength of each instance's intermolecular forces.
