question
sample of gas containing molecules of different masses are true
answer
more-massive gas molecules in the sample have lower rms speed than less-massive ones
question
Density:
answer
In both solids and liquids, the molecules are held very closely together and therefore their densities are about the same. In gases, there is space between the molecules.
question
Molecular movement and order
answer
The molecules in solids are arranged in a regular pattern that does not allow for diffusion, although does allow for vibrations. The arrangement of molecules in a liquid, although not completely random, is not completely fixed. Molecules in a gas are randomly arranged and move very quickly. Gases diffuse quickly in comparison to liquids.
question
Compressibility and thermal expansion:
answer
Since the molecules in solids and liquids are already very close together, applying pressure does not greatly affect the volume. In contrast, the space between gas molecules allows for a great deal of compressibility. Although temperature changes will cause slight variations in the volume of a solid or liquid, those variations are negligible compared to the thermal expansion of a gas.
question
Shape and expansion:
answer
A solid does not take the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the container. A liquid takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill it. A gas takes the shape of its container and expands to fill it.
question
Consider equal volumes (say 1 L) of a given substance in the solid, liquid, and gas phases. Arrange them in order of decreasing mass based on the trend for the average substance. If the mass difference between samples is relatively small (10% or less), rank the items as equivalent.
answer
1 L of substance in the solid phase
1 L of substance in liquid phase
(same)
1 L of substance in the gas phase
question

question
weak intermolecular forces
answer
low surface tension
low boiling point
low viscosity
high vapor pressure
question
intermolecular forces
answer
describe the attractions between two or more molecules.
question
Dipole-dipole
answer
result from the attraction of the positive end of one polar molecule to the negative end of another polar molecule.
question
Hydrogen bonding
answer
a particularly strong type of dipole-dipole force that occurs when hydrogen is attached to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. Water is an example of a substance in which hydrogen bonding occurs. Because of oxygen's high electronegativity and the electron deficiency of the hydrogen atom, the hydrogen atoms are attracted to the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen of another water molecule.
question
dispersion forces, also known as London forces
answer
These forces are very weak and are only important in the absence of any other intermolecular force. Nonpolar covalent molecules and single-atom molecules are examples of substances that lack all other intermolecular forces except for dispersion. Dispersion forces result from shifting electron clouds, which can cause a weak, temporary dipole.
