Three Phases of Water

Notice that the densities


of ice and liquid water are
much larger than the
density of steam.

Notice that the densities


and molar volumes of ice
and liquid water are much
closer to each other than
to steam.

Notice that the density of


ice is larger than the
density of liquid water.
This is not the norm, but
is vital to the development
of life as we know it. 11.2

11.2 Solids, Liquids, and Gases: A
Molecular Comparison
Properties of the Three Phases of Matter

• Fixed = keeps shape when placed in a


container
• Indefinite = takes the shape of the
container
11.2
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Solids

• Some solids have their particles arranged in an orderly


geometric pattern; we call these crystalline solids.
– Salt and diamonds

• Other solids have particles that do not show a regular


geometric pattern over a long range; we call these amorphous
solids.
– Plastic and glass

11.2
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Liquids

• The particles in a liquid are


closely packed, but they have
some ability to move around.
• The close packing results in
liquids being incompressible.
• But the ability of the particles to
move allows liquids to take the
shape of their container and to
flow. However, they don’t have
enough freedom to escape or
expand to fill the container.
11.2
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Gases

• In the gas state, the particles


have complete freedom of
motion and are not held
together.
• The particles are constantly
flying around, bumping into
each other and the container
• There is a large amount of
space between the particles,
compared to the size of the
particles.
– Therefore, the molar volume of the
gas state of a material is much
larger than the molar volume of the
solid or liquid states.

11.3 Intermolecular Forces: The Forces
That Hold Condensed States Together
Kinds of Attractive Forces
• Temporary polarity in the molecules due to
unequal electron distribution leads to
attractions called dispersion forces.
• Permanent polarity in the molecules due to
their structure leads to attractive forces
called dipole–dipole attractions.
• An especially strong dipole–dipole
attraction results when H is attached to an
extremely electronegative atom. These
are called hydrogen bonds.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
11.3
Dispersion Forces

• Fluctuations in the electron distribution in atoms


and molecules result in a temporary dipole.
– Region with excess electron density has
partial (–) charge
– Region with depleted electron density has
partial (+) charge
• The attractive forces caused by these temporary
dipoles are called dispersion forces.
– Aka London Forces
• All molecules and atoms will have them.
• As a temporary dipole is established in one
molecule, it induces a dipole in all the surrounding
molecules.

11.3
Size of the Induced Dipole

• The magnitude of the induced dipole


depends on several factors.
• 1. Polarizability of the electrons
– Volume of the electron cloud
– Larger molar mass = more electrons =
larger electron cloud = increased
polarizability = stronger attractions
• 2. Shape of the molecule
– More surface-to-surface contact = larger
induced dipole = stronger attraction

Effect of Molecular Size on Size of
Dispersion Force
The Noble gases are
all nonpolar atomic
elements.

The stronger the


attractive forces
between the molecules,
the higher the boiling
point will be.

Attractive Forces and Solubility
• Solubility depends, in part, on the attractive forces
of the solute and solvent molecules.
– Like dissolves like
– Miscible liquids will always dissolve in each other
• Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents.
– Hydrophilic groups = OH, CHO, C═O, COOH, NH2, Cl
• Nonpolar molecules dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
– Hydrophobic groups = C—H, C—C

Pentane, C5H12 is a nonpolar


molecule.

O2 and N2 and both substances are nonpolar;


M.W.: O2 > N2 ; O2 has the higher boiling point

NO has the highest boiling point of the three because


of its additional permanent dipole.

Example 11.1 Dipole–Dipole Forces
Which of these molecules have dipole–dipole forces?
a. CO2 b. CH2CI2 c. CH4
Solution
A molecule has dipole–dipole forces if it is polar. To determine if a molecule is polar, (1) determine if the
molecule contains polar bonds and (2) determine if the polar bonds add together to form a net dipole moment
(Section 9.6).

(a) CO2
(1) Since the electronegativity of carbon
is 2.5 and that of oxygen is 3.5
(Figure 9.8), CO2 has polar bonds.
(2) The geometry of CO2 is linear.
Consequently, the dipoles of the polar
bonds cancel, so the molecule is not
polar and does
not have
dipole–dipole forces.

Example 11.1 Dipole–Dipole Forces
Continued
(b) CH2Cl2
(1) The electronegativity of C is 2.5, that of H is 2.1, and that of Cl is 3.0.
Consequently, CH2Cl2 has two polar bonds (C—Cl) and two bonds that are
nearly nonpolar (C—H).
(2) The geometry of CH2Cl2 is tetrahedral. Since the C—Cl bonds and the
C—H bonds are different, their dipoles do not cancel but sum to a net dipole
moment. The molecule is polar and has dipole–dipole forces.

(c) CH4
(1) Since the electronegativity of C is 2.5 and that of hydrogen is 2.1, the
C—H bonds are nearly nonpolar.
(2) In addition, since the geometry of the molecule is tetrahedral, any slight
polarities that the bonds might have will cancel. CH4 is therefore nonpolar
and does not have dipole–dipole forces.

Example 11.2 Hydrogen Bonding
One of these compounds is a liquid at room temperature. Which one and why?

H-bond

Solution
The three compounds have similar molar masses:

Formaldehyde 30.03 g/mol


Fluoromethane 34.03 g/mol
Hydrogen peroxide 34.02 g/mol

So the strengths of their dispersion forces are similar. All three compounds are also polar, so they have dipole–dipole
forces. Hydrogen peroxide, however, is the only one of these compounds that also contains H bonded directly to F, O,
or N. Therefore, it also has hydrogen bonding and is likely to have the highest boiling point of the three. Since the
example stated that only one of the compounds was a liquid, you can safely assume that hydrogen peroxide is the
liquid. Note that, although fluoromethane contains both H and F, H is not directly bonded to F, so fluoromethane does
not have hydrogen bonding as an intermolecular force. Similarly, formaldehyde contains both H and O, but H is not
directly bonded to O, so formaldehyde does not have hydrogen bonding either.

Viscosity
• Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid
to flow.
• Larger intermolecular attractions = larger viscosity

• T cP

Capillary Action
• Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow
up a thin tube against the influence of gravity.
– The narrower the tube, the higher the liquid rises.
• Capillary action is the result of two forces
working in conjunction, the cohesive and
adhesive forces.
– Cohesive forces hold the liquid molecules together.
– Adhesive forces attract the outer liquid molecules to
the tube’s surface.

Supercritical Fluid

• As a liquid is heated in a sealed container, more vapor


collects, causing the pressure inside the container to rise,
the density of the vapor to increase, and the density of the
liquid to decrease.
• At some temperature, the meniscus between the liquid and
vapor disappears, and the states commingle to form a
supercritical fluid.
• Supercritical fluids have properties of both gas and liquid
states.

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 11.5


The Critical Point

• The temperature required to produce a


supercritical fluid is called the critical
temperature.
• The pressure at the critical temperature is called
the critical pressure.
• At the critical temperature or higher temperatures,
the gas cannot be condensed to a liquid, no matter
how high the pressure gets.

• Unit cells are three-dimensional.


– Usually containing two or three layers of particles
• Unit cells are repeated over and over to give the
macroscopic crystal structure of the solid.
• Starting anywhere within the crystal results in the same

• Each particle in the unit cell is called a lattice point.
• Lattice planes are planes connecting equivalent points
in unit cells throughout the lattice.

Since the unit cell has the physical properties of the entire crystal, you can find the mass and volume of the unit
cell and use these to calculate its density.

Solve
Begin by finding the mass of the unit cell. Determine the mass of an aluminum atom from its molar mass. Since
the face-centered cubic unit cell contains four atoms per unit cell, multiply the mass of aluminum by 4 to get the
mass of a unit cell.

Calculate the volume of the unit cell (in cm) by converting the edge length to cm and cubing the edge length. (Use
centimeters because you will want to report the density in units of g/cm3.)

Finally, calculate the density by dividing the mass of the unit cell by the volume of the unit cell.

1 g/cm3 (as you would expect for metals), but still not too high (because aluminum is a low-density metal).

For Practice 11.7


Chromium crystallizes with a body-centered cubic unit cell. The radius of a chromium atom is 125 pm. Calculate
the density of solid crystalline chromium in g/cm3.

Closest-Packed Structures First Layer
• With spheres, it is more efficient to offset
each row in the gaps of the previous row
than to line up rows and columns.

Closest-Packed Structures Second Layer

• The second layer atoms can sit directly


over the atoms in the first layer—called
an AA pattern.
• Or the second layer can sit over the holes
in the first layer—called an AB pattern.

11.12 Crystalline Solids: The Fundamental
Types

Classifying Crystalline
Solids
• Crystalline solids are classified by the
kinds of particles found.
• Some of the categories are subclassified
by the kinds of attractive forces holding
the particles together.

11.13 Classifying Crystalline Solids
Band Theory
• The structures of metals and covalent network
solids result in every atom’s orbitals being
shared by the entire structure.
• For large numbers of atoms, this results in a
large number of molecular orbitals that have
approximately the same energy; we call this
an energy band.
