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
- Acetone is polar while Butane is non polar
- Strongest non-bonding force is Ion Dipole forces
- Full ion interacts with a molecule like water
- Full charge, not a partial one
- Full ion interacts with a molecule like water
- 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
- Nonpolar molecules: london dispersion forces
- 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
