Kinetic-molecular viewof liquids and solids

• All real gases can be condensed to liquids by
  lowering the temperature and increasing the
  pressure.
• This decreases the average speed of the
  molecules.
• When moving slow enough, they will be attracted
  to each other and form a liquid.

3
Kinetic-molecular viewof liquids and solids

• If the temperature is further decreased
• Molecules can no longer move about freely.
• Motion is limited to vibration.
• Rapid temperature decrease results in a
  disorderly arrangement - amorphous.
• A slow temperature decrease allows molecules
  to form a crystalline solid.

4
Intermolecular forces

• For molecules to form liquids and solids, there
  must be attractions between the them.
• Intermolecular attractive forces
• dipole-dipole attraction including hydrogen
  bonding
• London (dispersion) forces
• Relative strength
• hydrogen bonding gt dipole-dipole gt London

5
Dipole-dipole attractions

• - When electrons that make up a bond are not
  equally shared because of a difference in
  electronegativity.
• ? and ?- ends are attracted to each other.

6
Hydrogen bonding

• An unusually strong dipole-dipole attraction.
• Occurs when hydrogen is bound to fluorine, oxygen
  and nitrogen -- the most electronegative
  elements.
• The small sizes of the elements involved and the
  large electronegativity differences result in
  large d and d- values.
• Hydrogen bonds are usually represented using a
  dashed line.

7
Hydrogen bonding
The hydrogens of one water molecule interact
with the oxygen on other water molecules.
8
London forces

• Temporary dipole attractions that exist between
  molecules - also called the dispersive.
• Results from random electron motion.
• Relatively weak force.

9
Properties of liquids

• Diffusion
• This takes place in both liquids and gases. It
  is the spontaneous mixing of materials that
  results from the random motion of molecules.

10
Properties of liquids

• Viscosity
• Resistance to flow.
• This increases with increased intermolecular
  attractions.
• Also, liquids composed of long, flexible
  molecules can entwine, resulting in increased
  viscosity - motor oil.

Increasing viscosity
11
Properties of liquids

• Surface Tension
• Force in the surface of a liquid that makes the
  area of the surface as small as possible.

Molecules at the surface interact only with
neighbors inside the liquid.
12
Properties of liquids

• Capillary action
• It is the competition between two forces.
• Cohesive forces
• The attractions between molecules of a
  substance.
• Adhesive forces
• Attractions between molecules of different
  substances.

13
Properties of liquids

• Capillary action.

14
Properties of liquids

• Vaporization
• The formation of a gas from a liquid.
• At any temperature, at least a few of the
  molecules in the liquid are moving fast enough to
  escape.

Equilibrium

• A state where the forward and reverse conditions
  occur at the same rate.

Im in static equilibrium.
16
Equilibrium
A point is ultimately reached where the rates of
the forward and reverse changes are the
same. At this point, equilibrium
is reached.

  when concentration of reactants and products
  remain constant over time.

Le Chateliers principle

• Any stress placed on an equilibrium system will
  cause the system to shift to minimize the effect
  of the stress.
• You can put stress on a system by adding or
  removing something from one side of a reaction.
• N2(g) 3H2 (g) 2NH3 (g)

What effect will there be if you added
more ammonia? How about more nitrogen?
20
Vapor Pressure and boiling point

• Equilibrium vapor pressure
• The pressure of a vapor in equilibrium with a
  liquid.
• It depends on
• the intermolecular forces in the liquid.
• temperature.
• It is independent of
• the volume of the liquid or vapor
• the surface area of the liquid

21
Boiling Points

• Boiling point - temperature where the vapor
  pressure equals atmospheric pressure.

This is the reason that cake mixes include high
altitude baking instructions.
22
Boiling point

• Boiling points are dependent on pressure.
• Normal
• boiling point
• The boiling
• point at
• standard
• atmospheric
• pressure

23
Melting point

• Normal melting point
• Temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid
  at atmospheric pressure.
• Freezing point.
• The temperature at which a liquid changes to a
  solid.
• For the same substance, these will both be at the
  same temperature.

24
Changes in state

• A substance can usually be converted to different
  states by adding or removing energy from a
  system.
• If energy must be added, the change is
• - endothermic
• If energy is given off, the change is
• - exothermic
• The same concept can also be applied to chemical
  reactions.

25
Endothermicchanges of state

• Sublimation
• The direct conversion of a solid to a gas.
• Example - dry ice (solid CO2)
• Melting or fusion
• The conversion of a solid to a liquid.
• Example - melting of ice
• Evaporization or vaporization
• Converting a liquid to a gas.
• Example - boiling water
• Most materials first melt then vaporize as you
  raise the temperature.

Changes in state andattractive forces

• As the attractive forces between molecules become
  larger, more energy is needed to separate them.
• Vapor pressures become smaller, boiling points
  and melting points become larger.

30
Heating and Cooling

• Changes in state involve several steps.
• Example.
• Producing 150 oC steam from -20 oC ice.
• 1. Heat ice up to 0 oC.
• 2. Convert the ice to water.
• 3. Heat the water from 0 oC to 100 oC.
• 4. Convert the water to steam.
• 5. Heat the steam to 150 oC.

31
Heating and Cooling

• The amount of thermal energy necessary to melt
  one mole of a substance at its melting point.
• Heat of vaporization, DHvap
• The amount of thermal energy necessary to boil
  one mole of a substance at its boiling point.

33
Specific heats

• Each substance requires a different amount of
  energy to increase its temperature.
• Specific heat - amount of energy needed to
  increase a substances temperature by 1oC.
• It also depends on the state of the substance.

  point, a supercritical fluid is formed.
• A supercritical fluid
• is a gas.
• has a density similar to a liquid.
• has a viscosity similar to a gas.
• Supercritical fluids have a number of uses. One
  example is their use for extractions - removal of
  caffeine from coffee.

40
The solid state

• At room temperature, solids
• are not compressible
• commonly have regular repeating units
• Two types are observed
• Crystalline solids have a definite melting
  point. - ionic - covalent
• - molecular - metallic
• Amorphous solids do not have a definite melting
  point or regular repeating units.

  to another,

45
Arrangement of units in crystals

• Metals
• All atoms are spherical.
• In a crystal, they are packed to minimize the
  space they occupy.
• Coordination number
• The number of nearest neighbors that surround
  an atom in a crystal
• Unit cell
• The smallest three dimensional unit that
  describes the arrangement of the atoms

46

• This is one of the simplest arrangements to
  visualize.
• Each atom has a coordination number of six.
• Only 52 of the space is occupied.

47
Close Packing

• The crystals of most metals are of this type.
• Each atom is surrounded by 6 neighbors in its
  layer and a total of 12 in three dimensions..
• This results in a high percentage of the space
  being occupied.

48
Close Packing
The atoms in a layer must rest in holes of the
two layers that touch it. Two types of
crystals can result.

Ionic compounds

• Crystal structures for these compounds are
  complicated by the following
• Two or more kinds of particles are involved.
• The particles are usually differ in size and
  often in charge.
• Not all ions are spherical.
• The major attractive force is electrostatic and
  crystals should allow the largest number of
  oppositely charged particles to touch.

54
Ionic compounds

• Many ionic compounds will assume a close-packed
  arrangement of anions.
• Small cations are placed in the holes.
• Because each is surrounded by four spheres, the
  smaller holes are called tetrahedral holes.

can be processed by a computer
