Solids, Liquids, and Gasses

Review
• Low densities
• High compressibility
• Completely fill container
Solids
• High densities
• Slight compressibility
• Rigid, maintain shape
Liquids
• Properties found between solids and gasses
• Closer to solids than gasses
• Energy required to melt 1 molH2O=6kJ/mol
• Energy required to vaporize 1mol H2O = 41 kJ/mol
• It takes a lot more energy to change from a liquid to a gas than a solid to a
liquid
• We can also look at densities of each phase of H2O to see how solids and
liquids are closely related
Density of H2O

Solid (ice) = .9168 g/cm3
• Liquid(water) = .9971 g/cm3

Gas (water vapor) = 5.88 x 10- 4 g/cm3
• Water in its gaseous state is 2000 times more dense than water in
its liquid state
• Water in solid state and liquid state have similar densities
Water and Phase Changes
• 97% of earth’s water is found in the oceans
• Colorless, odorless
• Freezes at 0oC and vaporizes at 100oC
• For substances to change state, heat(Q) must be added or
removed
• Water is unique in that its solid state is less dense than liquid
state (Why?)
H2O and Density
• Density is equal to mass of a substance divided by its volume
(D=m/v)
• As a sample of water freezes, its volume increases while its mass
is relatively unchanged.
• This increase in volume brings on a decrease in density
• This is why ice cubes float in water
Energy Changes for Changes in State
• During a phase change, NO chemical(intramolecular) bonds are broken.
• A phase change involves physical changes only
• Bonds that hold a single molecule together are called intramolecular
bonds
• The bonds that occur between molecules and cause them to aggregate to
form liquids and solids are called intermolecular bonds
Phase Change and Energy
• Energy required to melt one mole of a substance is called molar heat of
fusion
• For ice, the molar heat of fusion is 6.02kJ/mol
• Energy required to change 1 mole of a liquid to its vapor(gas) is called the
molar heat of vaporization
• For water, the molar heat of vaporization is 40.6kJ/mol
• It takes more energy (almost 7 times as much) to change 1mole of water
into a gas than it does to melt one mole of ice
Why Such a Difference?
• To separate molecules into a gas, virtually all intermolecular
bonds must be overcome.
• The stronger the intermolecular bonds
Polar molecule
• two or more nonmetals that have unequal sharing of electrons
causing a positive and negative charge on opposite ends of the
molecule.
• Caused by large differences in electronegativity of two or more
elements
Electronegativity
Nonpolar molecules
• two or more nonmetals that have equal sharing of electrons
throughout the molecule
• Nonpolar molecules usually have elements that are close in
electronegativity
Polar/Nonpolar Difference
• A nonpolar molecule is distinguish from a polar molecule by there
difference in electronegativity
• If the electronegativity difference (usually called ΔEN) is less than 0.5,
then the bond is nonpolar
• If the ΔEN is between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond is considered polar
• If the ΔEN is greater than 2.0, the the bond is ionic.
• If the ΔEN is between 1.6 and 2.0 and if a metal is involved, then the bond
is considered ionic. If only nonmetals are involved, the bond is considered
polar.
Types of Intermolecular Bonds
1. Dispersion Bonds
• Also called London Forces, these are weak bonds that result from
temporary shifts(dipole moment) in the density of the electrons in the
electron cloud.
• Exist in all molecules
• It’s the only intermolecular bond in non-polar covalent molecules
• Larger the molecule, the stronger the dispersion bond
Dispersion Bonds
Multiple Dispersion Bonds

Types of Intermolecular Bonds
2. Dipole-Dipole Bonds
• exist between polar molecules only
• Stronger than dispersion bonds
• Polar molecules have a permanent positive end and a permanent negative
end
• Polar molecules are composed of a highly electronegative element along
with elements of low electronegativity.
• There is a special type of dipole-dipole bond called a hydrogen bond
Hydrogen Bonding
• Strongest type of intermolecular bond
• Type of dipole-dipole bond
• Exist between hydrogen on one molecule bonding with one three elements
on another molecule
• Those three elements are nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine
• Lets look at some examples of hydrogen bonding

Hydrogen Bonding and DNA
• Hydrogen bonds hold the base pairs of DNA together

Intermolecular Bond Review


Types of Solids
• Crystalline- have a regular repeating pattern (lattice structure)
• Amorphous – random, unorganized pattern
Crystalline Solids
• All have high melting points
• Three types: ionic solids, molecular solids, and atomic solids
Ionic Solids
• Composed of ions (usually a metal paired with a nonmetal or
polyatomic anion)

Molecular Solids
• No ions are present (usually composed of all nonmetals
covalently bonded)

Atomic Solids
• Solids composed of only one element covalently bonded to each
other

Bonding in Solids
• Ionic solids- high melting points, held together by strong oppositely
charged ions/examples include NaCl, BaSO4, NH4F
• Molecular solids- low melting points, held together by weak
intermolecular bonding(dispersion, dipole-dipole)/ examples include ice,
dry ice(solid CO2), sugar
• Atomic solids- lots of variation, properties depend on radius, valence,
electron structure, etc./ examples include diamond, copper, iodine

Amorphous Solids
• No regular repeating pattern
• Don’t hold shape well if temperature is increased
• Examples include tar, wax, plastic, glass, rubber
