Intermolecular Forces and the
States of Matter
Solids: The particles of a solid have
fixed positions and exhibit motions of
vibration.
Liquids: The particles of a liquid are free
to move within the confines of the
liquid.
Gas: The particles of a gas are far apart
and move randomly and rapidly.

Intermolecular Forces and the
States of Matter
Melting point: The temperature at which a solid
becomes a liquid.
Vaporization: The process of a liquid becoming a
gas.
Boiling point: The temperature at which the
particles of a liquid escape and become a gas.

Intermolecular Forces and the
States of Matter
Condensation: The process by which a gas
becomes a liquid.
Freezing: The process by which a liquid becomes
a solid. This occurs at the freezing point, which
is the same as the melting point.
Sublimation: When a solid changes directly from
the solid to the gaseous state.

Ionic bonds: Ionic bonds are the strongest of
forces that hold matter in the condensed states.

Intermolecular Forces and the
States of Matter
Dipole forces: Polar molecules exist as
dipoles. These oppositely charged ends will
attract each other.

Intermolecular Forces and the
States of Matter
Hydrogen bonds:
When a hydrogen atom
is covalently bonded to a
highly electronegative
atom like nitrogen,
oxygen, or fluorine
(N,O,F), it can exhibit an
additional polar
attraction. This attraction
is called a hydrogen
bond.

Intermolecular Forces and the
States of Matter
Dispersion forces: Nonpolar molecules
exhibit a dynamic induced dipole. The strength
of this force increases with molecular weight
and is known as dispersion forces or London
dispersion forces.

Intermolecular Forces and the
States of Matter
Solution: An intimate, homogeneous mixture of
two or more substances.
Solute: A substance that is dispersed in a
solution.
Solvent: A substance doing the dissolving,
usually present in greatest quantity.

“Like dissolves like”: Solutions form most
readily when both the solute and solvent have
similar intermolecular forces.

The Gas Laws
Kinetic Molecular Theory of a Gas
Postulates:
1. The particles of a gas are in rapid constant
motion.
2. The particles of a gas are tiny compared to the
distance between them.
3. There is little attraction between the particles
of a gas.
4. Collisions between gas molecules are perfectly
elastic.
5. Temperature is a measure of the average
kinetic energy of gas molecules.
