Areas of Physical Chemistry
Deals with heat and energy, movement and change, and gives a macroscopic picture of concepts
What is thermodynamics?
Part of the universe that one wants to study
What is the system?
this is technically not an intermolecular force but is extremely strong and forms a crystal lattice ex:NaCl
What is ion-ion?
Two dipole molecules attracting via partial charge
What is dipole-dipole?
The very compressible state of matter that takes the volume of its container
What is a gas?
Gives a microscopic view of concepts and explores the question, "How do the individual atoms and molecules behave?"
What is quantum mechanics?
Everything outside the system
What are surroundings?
Though technically not an intermolecular force, this force creates molecules and is a strong force of attraction
What is a covalent bond?
Non-polar molecules can be forced into having a partial charge by another dipole molecule being close. This is the type of force that ensues.
What is dipole-induced dipole?
This state is characterized by a fixed volume and a lack of fluidity
What is a solid?
Explores how fast processes happen
What is kinetics?
What is an isolated system?
The force of attraction between a charged cation or anion and a molecule/dipole
What is ion-dipole?
A hydrogen bonded to an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine
What is a hydrogen bond?
A substance that does not have a definite shape and takes the shape of its container
What is a fluid?
Explores the interaction between radiation (light etc.) and matter
What is Spectroscopy?
the classification of systems in which both matter and energy can flow between the system and its surroundings
What is an open system?
The order of IMFs in order of decreasing value
What is ion-ion, covalent, ion-dipole, hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, london dispersion force?
The weakest of the intermolecular forces
What is induced dipole-induced dipole (london dispersion force)?
These are the four forces in all of the world
Explores how the statistical averaging of the behavior of microscopic particles leads to conclusions about macroscopic observations
What is statistical mechanics?
The classification of systems where energy can flow between the system and the surroundings, but not matter
What is a closed system?
What is london dispersion force?
This equation: Ke*[(q1*q2)/r^2]
What is the electrical force equation?
This elusive phase of matter can only be found on Earth in lightening
What is plasma?
