Chemistry Vocabulary

Condensation

change from vapor to liquid

Evaporation

state of changing from a liquid into a vapor (room temperature)

Vapor

a gas derived from a substance that is liquid at normal temperatures and pressures. It is also often used to describe gas that has recently come from a liquid

Rate of Evaporation

Rate of Condensation

the number of particles moving rom gas to liquid per second

Dynamic Equilibrium

a state of balance between continuing processes/rates

Equilibrium vapor pressure

the partial pressure of vapor above a liquid in a closed system with a dynamic equilibrium between the rate of evaporation and the rate of condensation

Boiling

the conversion of liquid to vapor anywhere in the liquid rather than just at the top surface

Boiling Point temp

the temperature at which a liquid boils. (it is also the temperature at which the equilibrium vapor pressure of the liquid becomes equal to the external pressure acting on the liquid)

Normal Boiling Point

temperature at which the equilibrium vapor pressure of the liquid equals one atmosphere

Dipole

a molecule that contains an asymmetrical distribution of positive and negative charges

Dipole-dipole attraction

Intermolecular attraction

attraction between molecules

Hydrogen Bond

the intermolecular attraction between a nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine atom of one molecule and a hydrogen atom bonded to a nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine atom in another molecule

London dispersion forces

the attractions produced between molecules by instantaneous and induced dipoles

intramolecular forces

-within molecules
-covalent bonds
(intranet-allows communication with those on campus)

effect of a strong intermolecular force on boiling point

the stronger the intermolecular force, the higher the higher boiling point. this is because the molecules are closer together and it takes more to break them apart

how can molecules without dipoles condense to form liquids or solids

slow the molecules down by cooling them and increasing the pressure

heating curve

-solid to gas
part 1 (A): temperature is being raised to break apart the IMF of a solid and make the molecules less together, like a liquid
part 2 (B): plateau, where the temperature is staying constant because all extra energy is used to break apart all

cooling curve

-gas to solid
part 1 (A): temperature is being lowered to gather the particles of the gas together so that it can start to form a liquid-like shape
part 2 (B): plateau, where the temperature is staying constant because all extra energy is using to bring a

why are changes in state considered to be physical changes and not chemical changes

no new substance is formed

why doesn't the temperature of a substance (such as ice) change during melting or freezing?
