London dispersion force
weak forces existing among noble gas atoms & non-polar molecules; caused by an instantaneous dipole, which in triggers others
polarizability
ease with which the e- cloud of an atom can be distorted to give a dipolar charge distribution (large atoms with more e- have a higher polarizability than smaller)
surface tension
resistance of a liquid to an increase in SA (have to break IMFs to move further away and increase SA)
capillary action
spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube, exhibited by polar liquids
cohesive forces
IMFs among the molecules of a liquid
adhesive forces
forces b/n the liquid molecules and their container
viscosity
a measure of a liquid's resistance to flow (large IMFS - highly viscous)

ionic solid
solid containing cations and anions that dissolves in water to give a solution containing free-floating ions
molecular solid
a solid composed of neutral molecules at the lattice points
atomic solid
a solid that contains atoms at the lattice points. 3 subgroups: metallic solids, network solids, and Group VIIIA solids.
closest packing
modeling a metallic crystal by packing uniform, hard spheres in a manner that most efficiently uses the space available; abc or aba
hexagonal closest packed
structure composed of closest packed spheres with an ababab arrangement of layers, the unit cell is hexagonal
cubic closest packed structure
solid modeled by the closest packing of spheres with an abcabc arrangement of layers; unit cell is face-centered cubic. Some metals assume structures that are not closest packed: these have a simple cubic or body-centered cubic unit cell.
e- sea model
simpler bonding model for metals; regular array of metal cations in a sea of valence e-
band model/molecular orbital (MO) model
more complex bonding model for metals; e- travel around the metal crystal in molecular orbitals formed from te valence atomic orbitals of the metal atoms. As more and more metal atoms interact the large # of molecular orbitals become closely spaced and finally a continuum of levels, which are partially occupied
bands
continuum of molecular orbitals formed when many metals interact, where the valence e- can travel
conduction bands
molecular orbitals occupied by conducting e-
alloy
a substance that contians a mixture of elements and has metallic properties
substitutional alloy
host metal atoms are replaced by other metal atoms of similar size
interstitial alloy
interstices in the ccp metal structure are occupied by small atoms
network solid
atomic solid containing strong directional covalent bonds that form a giant molecules
silica
fundamental silicon-oxygen compound; has the empirical formula of SiO2
silicate
O/Si ratios higher than 2:1 and contain Si-O anions
glass
amorphous solid formed when silica is heated above its melting point
aluminosilicate
aluminum as well as silicon atoms are part of the polyanion
semiconductor
substance conducting only slight electrical current at room rmperature but showing increased conductivity at higher T's
doping
replacing atoms of one element with the atoms of another element to increase conductivity
n-type semiconductor
substance whose conductivity is increased by doping it with atoms with one more v e- than the host atom
p-type semiconductor
semiconductor whose conductivity is increased by doping it with atoms having one fewer valence e- than the host atoms
p-n junction
connection of a p-type and an n-type semiconductor; e- travel from n-type to p-type, giving the p-type a (-) charge and the n-type a (+) charge
contact/junction potential
charge buildup in a p-n junction as e- migrate from the n-type to the p-type
reverse bias
when a (+) and (-) terminal of a battery are applied to the wrong ends of a p-n junction and the junction resists the imposed current flow because it is opposite to its natural flow
forward bias
low resistance to the current; flows easily
rectifier
device that produces a pulsating direct (one direction) current from an alternating (both directions) current
vaporization
change of a substance from liquid to gas state
heat of vaporization
E required to vaporize 1 mol of a liquid at 1 atm
condensation
change of a substance from gas to liquid
vapor pressure
pressure of the vapor present at equilibrium
equilibrium
pt at which no further net change occurs in the amount of liquid or vapor because the rate of vaporization and condensation balance each other
volatile
evaporate rapidly; has a high VP
sublimation
going directly from the solid to the gaseous state without passing through the liquid state
heating curve
polt of temperature vs. time, where E is added at a constant rate
heat of fusion
enthalpy change that occurs when a solid melts
normal melting point
temperature at which the solid and liquid have the same VP; total p=1
normal boiling point
temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is exactly 1 atm (if the outside p= 1 atm)
boiling
VP liquid = P environment
supercooled
a liquid can be cooled below its freezing point at 1 atm and remain in the liquid state if the liquid does not have enough organization to form a solid at that point
superheated
a liquid can be raised to temperature above its boiling point without boiling because there are not enough high E molecules in the same vicinity

point on a phase diagram where all 3 states of a substance are present
