Intermolecular Forces, Liquids, and Solids

  11-1

Employ the kinetic-molecular model to explain the
differences in motion of particles in gases, liquids,
and solids, and how these relate to their states.

 

  11-2

Describe the various types of intermolecular forces,
and state the kinds of intermolecular forces expected
for a substance given its molecular structure.

 

  11-3

Describe the meaning of the terms viscosity, surface
tension, critical temperature, and criteria pressure,
and account for the variations in these properties in
terms of intermolecular forces and temperature.

 

  11-4

Given the needed heat capacities and enthalpies for
phase changes, calculate the heat absorbed or evolved
when a given quantity of a substance changes from one
condition to another.

 

  11-5

Explain the way in which the vapor pressure of a substance
changes with the intermolecular forces and temperature.

 

  11-6

Describe the relationship between the pressure on the
surface of a liquid and the boiling point of the liquid.

 

  11-7

Draw a phase diagram of a substance given appropriate
data, and use a phase diagram to predict which phases
are present at any given temperature and pressure.

 

  11-8

Distinguish between crystalline and amorphous solids.

 

  11-9

Determine the net contents in a cubic unit cell, given a
drawing or verbal description of the cell. Use this
information, together with the atomic weights of the atoms
in the cell dimensions, to calculate the density of the
substance.

 

  11-10 Describe the efficient packing patterns of equal- sized
spheres.
