3. no repulsive or attractive forces
4. average kinetic energy in directly proportional to Kelvin temp

question
Endothermic vs. Exothermic
answer
Exothermic: potential energy stored in bonds is converted to thermal energy, reactants have higher potential energy, bonds in products are stronger than reactants, more energy is released when new bonds in products are formed than is consumed to break bonds in reactants
Endothermic: energy flows into system as heat increases potential energy, products have higher potential energy and weaker bonds
question
Thermodynamic Law-thingies
answer
sum of kinetic and potential energies
?E=q + w
q: + energy added, - energy out
w: + surroundings do work on system, - system does work on surroundings

answer
1. Things can exceed the octet rule (I know, say whaaa?) like third row+ elements because of valence d orbitals
2. B and Be often have fewer than eight electrons, very reactive compounds

Vaporization
answer
endothermic enthalpy of vaporization: energy required to vaporize 1 mol liquid at 1 atm higher IM forces, lower vapor pressure larger molar mass, lower vapor pressure (dispersion forces) higher temp, higher vapor pressure melting point: liquid and solid have identical vapor pressures
question
