Comparisons of the
States of Matter
the solid and liquid states have a much higher density
than the gas state
therefore the molar volume of the solid and liquid states is
much smaller than the gas state
the solid and liquid states have similar densities
generally the solid state is a little denser
notable exception: ice is less dense than liquid water
the molecules in the solid and liquid state are in close
contact with each other, while the molecules in a gas
are far apart
Freedom of Motion
the molecules in a gas have complete freedom of
motion
their kinetic energy overcomes the attractive forces between
the molecules
the molecules in a solid are locked in place, they
cannot move around
though they do vibrate, they dont have enough kinetic
energy to overcome the attractive forces
the molecules in a liquid have limited freedom they
can move around a little within the structure of the
liquid
they have enough kinetic energy to overcome some of the
attractive forces, but not enough to escape each other
Properties of the 3 Phases of Matter
Fixed = keeps shape when placed in a container
Indefinite = takes the shape of the container

Attractions
Solid Fixed Fixed No No very strong
Liquid Indef. Fixed No Yes moderate
Gas Indef. Indef. Yes Yes very weak

Kinetic - Molecular Theory
the properties of solids, liquids, and gases can be
explained based on the kinetic energy of the
molecules and the attractive forces between
molecules
kinetic energy tries to give molecules freedom of
motion
degrees of freedom = translational, rotational,
vibrational
attractive forces try to keep the molecules together
kinetic energy depends only on the temperature
KE = 1.5 kT
Gas Structure
Gas molecules are rapidly
moving in random straight
lines and free from sticking
to each other.
Explaining the Properties of Solids
the particles in a solid are packed close
together and are fixed in position
though they may vibrate
the close packing of the particles results in
solids being incompressible
the inability of the particles to move around
results in solids retaining their shape and
volume when placed in a new container; and
prevents the particles from flowing
Solids
some solids have their particles
arranged in an orderly geometric
pattern we call these crystalline
solids
salt and diamonds
other solids have particles that do not
show a regular geometric pattern over
a long range we call these
amorphous solids
plastic and glass
Explaining the Properties of Liquids
they have higher densities than gases
because the molecules are in close contact
they have an indefinite shape because the
limited freedom of the molecules allows
them to move around enough to get to the
container walls
but they have a definite volume because
the limit on their freedom keeps them
from escaping the rest of the molecules

Compressibility
Phase Changes
Why are molecules attracted to
each other?
intermolecular attractions are due to attractive forces between
opposite charges
+ ion to - ion
+ end of polar molecule to - end of polar molecule
H-bonding especially strong
even nonpolar molecules will have temporary charges
larger the charge = stronger attraction
longer the distance = weaker attraction
however, these attractive forces are small relative to the
bonding forces between atoms
generally smaller charges
generally over much larger distances
Trends in the Strength of
Intermolecular Attraction?
the stronger the attractions between the atoms or
molecules, the more energy it will take to separate
them
boiling a liquid requires we add enough energy to
overcome the attractions between the molecules or
atoms
the higher the normal boiling point of the liquid, the
stronger the intermolecular attractive forces

Dispersion Force
Dispersion Forces
fluctuations in the electron distribution in atoms and
molecules result in a temporary dipole
region with excess electron density has partial () charge
region with depleted electron density has partial (+) charge
the attractive forces caused by these temporary dipoles
are called dispersion forces
aka London Forces
all molecules and atoms will have them
as a temporary dipole is established in one molecule, it
induces a dipole in all the surrounding molecules
Size of the Induced Dipole
the magnitude of the induced dipole depends on
several factors
polarizability of the electrons
volume of the electron cloud
larger molar mass = more electrons = larger
electron cloud = increased polarizability =
stronger attractions
shape of the molecule
more surface-to-surface contact = larger
induced dipole = stronger attraction
Effect of Molecular Size
on Size of Dispersion Force
Noble Gases are all
nonpolar atomic
elements.
As the molar mass
increases, the number
of electrons increase.
Therefore the strength
of the dispersion
forces increases.
The stronger the
attractive forces
between the molecules,
the higher the boiling
point will be.

Dipole-Dipole Attractions
polar molecules have a permanent dipole
because of bond polarity and shape
dipole moment
as well as the always present induced dipole
the permanent dipole adds to the attractive forces
between the molecules
raising the boiling and melting points relative to nonpolar
molecules of similar size and shape

Hydrogen Bonding
When a very electronegative atom is bonded to
hydrogen, it strongly pulls the bonding electrons
toward it
O-H, N-H, or F-H
Since hydrogen has no other electrons, when it
loses the electrons, the nucleus becomes
deshielded
exposing the H proton
The exposed proton acts as a very strong center
of positive charge, attracting all the electron
clouds from neighboring molecules

Ion-Dipole Attraction
in a mixture, ions from an ionic compound are
attracted to the dipole of polar molecules
the strength of the ion-dipole attraction is one of
the main factors that determines the solubility of
ionic compounds in water
Summary
Dispersion forces are the weakest of the
intermolecular attractions.
Dispersion forces are present in all molecules
and atoms.
The magnitude of the dispersion forces
increases with molar mass
Polar molecules also have dipole-dipole
attractive forces
Summary (contd)
Hydrogen bonds are the strongest of the intermolecular
attractive forces
a pure substance can have
Hydrogen bonds will be present when a molecule has
H directly bonded to either O , N, or F atoms
only example of H bonded to F is HF
Ion-dipole attractions are present in mixtures of ionic
compounds with polar molecules.
Ion-dipole attractions are the strongest intermolecular
attraction
Ion-dipole attractions are especially important in
aqueous solutions of ionic compounds

50
Surface Tension
surface tension is a property of liquids that results from
the tendency of liquids to minimize their surface area
in order to minimize their surface area, liquids form
drops that are spherical
as long as there is no gravity
the layer of molecules on the surface behave differently
than the interior
because the cohesive forces on the surface molecules have a
net pull into the liquid interior
the surface layer acts like an elastic skin
Surface Tension
because they have fewer neighbors
to attract them, the surface
molecules are less stable than those
in the interior
have a higher potential energy
the surface tension of a liquid is the
energy required to increase the
surface area a given amount
at room temp, surface tension of H
2
O
= 72.8 mJ/m
2

Factors Affecting Surface Tension
the stronger the intermolecular attractive forces,
the higher the surface tension will be
raising the temperature of a liquid reduces its
surface tension
raising the temperature of the liquid increases the
average kinetic energy of the molecules
the increased molecular motion makes it easier to
stretch the surface

Viscosity
viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow
1 poise = 1 P = 1 g/cms
often given in centipoise, cP

Capillary Action
capillary action is the ability of a liquid to
flow up a thin tube against the influence of
gravity
the narrower the tube, the higher the liquid rises
capillary action is the result of the two forces
working in conjunction, the cohesive and
adhesive forces
cohesive forces attract the molecules together
adhesive forces attract the molecules on the edge
to the tubes surface
Capillary Action
the adhesive forces pull the surface liquid up the
side of the tube, while the cohesive forces pull
the interior liquid with it
the liquid rises up the tube until the force of
gravity counteracts the capillary action forces

Meniscus
the curving of the liquid surface in a thin
tube is due to the competition between
adhesive and cohesive forces
the meniscus of water is concave in a
glass tube because its adhesion to the
glass is stronger than its cohesion for
itself
the meniscus of mercury is convex in a
glass tube because its cohesion for itself
is stronger than its adhesion for the glass
metallic bonds stronger than intermolecular
attractions

Heating Curve of Water
Distribution of Thermal Energy
only a small fraction of the molecules in a liquid
have enough energy to escape
the higher the temperature, the faster the rate
of evaporation
Vaporization
molecules in the liquid are
constantly in motion
if these molecules are at the
surface, they may have enough
energy to overcome the
attractive forces
therefore the larger the
surface area, the faster the rate
of evaporation
Condensation
some molecules of the vapor will lose energy
through molecular collisions
the result will be that some of the molecules will
get captured back into the liquid when they
collide with it
also some may stick and gather together to form
droplets of liquid
particularly on surrounding surfaces
we call this process condensation
Effect of Intermolecular Attraction on
Evaporation and Condensation
the weaker the attractive forces, the faster
the rate of evaporation
liquids that evaporate easily are said to be
volatile
e.g., gasoline, fingernail polish remover
liquids that do not evaporate easily are called
nonvolatile
e.g., motor oil
Heat of Vaporization
the amount of heat energy required to vaporize one mole
of the liquid is called the Heat of Vaporization, AH
vap

sometimes called the enthalpy of vaporization
always endothermic, therefore AH

vaporization

Dynamic Equilibrium
Vapor Pressure
the pressure exerted by the vapor when it is in
dynamic equilibrium with its liquid is called the
vapor pressure
remember using Daltons Law of Partial Pressures to
account for the pressure of the water vapor when
collecting gases by water displacement?
therefore, the weaker the attractive forces, the
higher the vapor pressure
the higher the vapor pressure, the more volatile the
liquid
Dynamic Equilibrium
a system in dynamic equilibrium can respond to
changes in the conditions
when conditions change, the system shifts its
position to relieve or reduce the effects of the
change
Vapor Pressure vs. Temperature
increasing the temperature increases the number
of molecules able to escape the liquid
the net result is that as the temperature
increases, the vapor pressure increases
small changes in temperature can make big
changes in vapor pressure
the rate of growth depends on strength of the
intermolecular forces

Boiling Point
when the temperature of a liquid reaches a point
where its vapor pressure is the same as the
external pressure, vapor bubbles can form
anywhere in the liquid
not just on the surface
this phenomenon is what is called boiling and
the temperature required to have the vapor
pressure = external pressure is the boiling point
Boiling Point
the normal boiling point is the temperature at
which the vapor pressure of the liquid = 1 atm
the lower the external pressure, the lower the boiling
point of the liquid

Supercritical Fluid
as a liquid is heated in a sealed container, more vapor collects
causing the pressure inside the container to rise
and the density of the vapor to increase
and the density of the liquid to decrease
at some temperature, the meniscus between the liquid and vapor
disappears and the states commingle to form a supercritical
fluid
supercritical fluid have properties of both gas and liquid states
The Critical Point
the temperature required to produce a
supercritical fluid is called the critical
temperature
the pressure at the critical temperature is called
the critical pressure
at the critical temperature or higher
temperatures, the gas cannot be condensed to a
liquid, no matter how high the pressure gets
Sublimation and Deposition
molecules in the solid have thermal energy that allows
them to vibrate
surface molecules with sufficient energy may break
free from the surface and become a gas this process is
called sublimation
the capturing of vapor molecules into a solid is called
deposition
the solid and vapor phases exist in dynamic equilibrium
in a closed container
at temperatures below the melting point
therefore, molecular solids have a vapor pressure
solid gas
sublimation
deposition
Sublimation
Melting = Fusion
as a solid is heated, its temperature rises and the
molecules vibrate more vigorously
once the temperature reaches the melting point,
the molecules have sufficient energy to
overcome some of the attractions that hold them
in position and the solid melts (or fuses)
the opposite of melting is freezing

Water An Extraordinary Substance
water is a liquid at room temperature
most molecular substances with small molar masses are gases at room
temperature
due to H-bonding between molecules
water is an excellent solvent dissolving many ionic and polar
molecular substances
because of its large dipole moment
even many small nonpolar molecules have solubility in water
e.g., O
2
, CO
2

water has a very high specific heat for a molecular substance
moderating effect on coastal climates
water expands when it freezes
at a pressure of 1 atm
about 9%
making ice less dense than liquid water

crystalline solids have a very regular geometric
arrangement of their particles
the arrangement of the particles and distances between
them is determined by x-ray diffraction
in this technique, a crystal is struck by beams of x-rays,
which then are reflected
the wavelength is adjusted to result in an interference
pattern at which point the wavelength is an integral
multiple of the distances between the particles
X-ray Crystallography
Braggs Law
when the interference between x-rays is constructive,
the distance between the two paths (a) is an integral
multiple of the wavelength
n=2a
the angle of reflection is therefore related to the
distance (d) between two layers of particles
sinu = a/d
combining equations and rearranging we get an
equation called Braggs Law

Crystal Lattice
when allowed to cool slowly, the particles in a
liquid will arrange themselves to give the
maximum attractive forces
therefore minimize the energy
the result will generally be a crystalline solid
the arrangement of the particles in a crystalline
solid is called the crystal lattice
the smallest unit that shows the pattern of
arrangement for all the particles is called the
unit cell

Unit Cells
unit cells are 3-dimensional,
usually containing 2 or 3 layers of particles
unit cells are repeated over and over to give the macroscopic
crystal structure of the solid
starting anywhere within the crystal results in the same unit cell
each particle in the unit cell is called a lattice point
lattice planes are planes connecting equivalent points in unit
cells throughout the lattice

Unit Cells
the number of other particles each particle is in contact
with is called its coordination number
for ions, it is the number of oppositely charged ions an ion is
in contact with
higher coordination number means more interaction,
therefore stronger attractive forces holding the crystal
together
the packing efficiency is the percentage of volume in
the unit cell occupied by particles
the higher the coordination number, the more efficiently the
particles are packing together

Cubic Unit Cells

the length of all the edges are equal

of each corner particle is within the cube
of each particle on a face is within the cube
of each particle on an edge is within the cube

Closest-Packed Structures
First Layer
with spheres, it is more efficient to offset each
row in the gaps of the previous row than to line-
up rows and columns
Second Layer
the second layer atoms can sit directly over the
atoms in the first called an AA pattern
or the second layer can sit over the holes in the
first called an AB pattern
Third Layer with Offset 2
nd
Layer
the third layer atoms can align directly over the

Molecular Solids
the lattice site are occupied by
molecules
the molecules are held together
by intermolecular attractive
forces
dispersion forces, dipole
attractions, and H-bonds
because the attractive forces are
weak, they tend to have low
melting point
generally < 300C
Ionic Solids
held together by
attractions between
opposite charges
nondirectional
therefore every cation
attracts all anions
around it, and vice
versa
Nonbonding Atomic Solids
noble gases in solid form
solid held together by weak
dispersion forces
very low melting
tend to arrange atoms in
closest-packed structure
either hexagonal cp or cubic cp
maximizes attractive forces and
minimizes energy
Metallic Atomic Solids
solid held together by
metallic bonds
strength varies with sizes and
charges of cations
coulombic attractions
melting point varies
mostly closest packed
arrangements of the lattice
points

Network Covalent Solids
carbon
diamond
graphite
silicates
quartz
mica
Network Covalent Solids
atoms attached to its nearest neighbors by covalent
bonds
because of the directionality of the covalent bonds,
these do not tend to form closest-packed arrangements
in the crystal
because of the strength of the covalent bonds, these
have very high melting points
generally > 1000C
dimensionality of the network affects other physical
properties
The Diamond Structure:
a 3-Dimensional Network
the carbon atoms in a diamond
each have 4 covalent bonds to
surrounding atoms
sp

tetrahedral geometry
this effectively makes each
crystal one giant molecule held
together by covalent bonds
you can follow a path of covalent
bonds from any atom to every
other atom
The Graphite Structure:
a 2-Dimensional Network
in graphite, the carbon atoms in a sheet
are covalently bonded together
forming 6-member flat rings fused together
similar to benzene
bond length = 142 pm
sp
2

each C has 3 sigma and 1 pi bond
trigonal-planar geometry
each sheet a giant molecule
the sheets are then stacked and held
together by dispersion forces
sheets are 341 pm apart

Conductors, Semiconductors and
Insulators
the structures of metals and covalent network
solids result in every atoms orbitals being
shared by the entire structure
for large numbers of atoms, this results in a
large number of molecular orbitals that have
approximately the same energy, we call this an
energy band
Molecular Orbitals of Polylithium
Band Theory
when 2 atomic orbitals combine they produce both a
bonding and an antibonding molecular orbital
when many atomic orbitals combine they produce a
band of bonding molecular orbitals and a band of
antibonding molecular orbitals
the band of bonding molecular orbitals is called the
valence band
the band of antibonding molecular orbitals is called the
conduction band
Types of Band Gaps and
Conductivity
Band Gap
at absolute zero, all the electrons will occupy the
valence band
as the temperature rises, some of the electrons
may acquire enough energy to jump to the
conduction band
the difference in energy between the valence
band and conduction band is called the band gap
the larger the band gap, the fewer electrons there are
with enough energy to make the jump
Doping Semiconductors
doping is adding impurities to the semiconductors
crystal to increase its conductivity
goal is to increase the number of electrons in the
conduction band
n-type semiconductors do not have enough electrons
themselves to add to the conduction band, so they are
doped by adding electron rich impurities
p-type semiconductors are doped with an electron
deficient impurity, resulting in electron holes in the
valence band. Electrons can jump between these holes
in the valence band, allowing conduction of electricity

Coordination Number
the higher the coordination number, the more stable the
solid
lowers the potential energy of the solid
the coordination number depends on the relative sizes
of the cations and anions
generally, anions are larger than cations
the number of anions that can surround the cation limited by
the size of the cation
the closer in size the ions are, the higher the coordination
number is
