Tref - normal freezing point pulling energy out of the system Attractive forces win and lock the molecules into crystal structure mental boiling etc pumps energy back in

  • endothermic processes
  • need to have enough energy to ignore neighbors and not form bonds
  • ice steam most of the energy goes into vaporization
    • Melting takes less energy than vaporizing
  • liquid to vapor completely breaks all of the forces
  • Water moleculesa re extremely sticky
  • Types of bonds
    • Nonpolar molecules: london dispersion forces
      • Weakest, but present in everything
      • Electrons arent static, they zip around creating a temporary dipole as they interact with each other
        • Temporary static cling
      • The scale of it scales with polarizability. The bigger the atom, the bigger electron cloud
      • Cl2 and I2, I2 is bigger so it forms a solid
        • Temporary LDFs are strong enoigh to form it into a solid
        • Surface area is also important - structural isomer comparison
      • Straight chain vs bent chain, higher surface area means it has more spots to interact with its neighbors
        • Pentane is liquid at room temperature while propane is a gas
        • LDFs are strong enough to keep it a liquid
    • Dipole-Dipole forces
      • You can get a permanent dipole through polar shapes
      • Aceton and Butane, almost same molar mass
        • Acetone is polar while Butane is non polar
          • Functional group makes it very polar and permanent dipole
        • Polar molecules are “stickier”, the attraction is always on
    • Strongest non-bonding force is Ion Dipole forces
      • Full ion interacts with a molecule like water
        • Full charge, not a partial one
    • Hydrogen bond
      • Incredibly strong type of dipole-dipole force
      • Very specific, hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to N,O,F
        • These three are so electronegative that they pull the electron cloud away from the hydrogen
        • Very concentrated charge
      • Trend based on size is broken once the hydrogen bonds break
        • That’s where most of the enrgy in breaking water goes
    • If you see CH4, it isn’t a hydrogen bond because there is no N,O,F, it is just a LDF
  • Vapor Pressure
    • Liquids ina sealed container have an inverse relationship
    • Stronger IMF means lower vapor pressure
    • As long as there is liquid in the flask, the vapor pressure stays the same
      • Dynamic equilibrium
      • System self corrects to maintain constant pressure determined by the substance
  • Metals have sea of electrons where the outer ones are delocalized
    • Make it a conductor
  • Solid is usually denser than liquid, except for water where ice is less dense than liquid
  • If H bonding is what gives water its high boiling point, how does that same hydrogen bond network, when it freezes into ice, force the molecules to become farther apart in a liquid
