Phase
States of Matter (phase)
The fundamental difference between
States of Matter
Because in the solid and liquid states particles are closer together, we refer to them as condensed
States of Matter
• Since the phase of a substance is determined by how far apart the particles are, we can change the phase by making the
particles move more/less (temperature) or by giving them more/less room to move in (pressure.)
• But what really makes particles stay in one phase or another? • What dictates how much of a temperature/pressure change is
needed to cause one phase or another?
• Why is this amount (melting point/boiling point) different for different substances?
• We already know that INTRAmolcular forces (bonding) dictates much of a substances chemical/physical properties.
• While INTERmolecular forces (attractive forces between whole
Intermolecular forces
• Intermolecular Forces: Forces of attraction (typically caused by polarity) between
molecules.
• Typically much weaker forces (typically less
than 10%) than INTRAmolecular bonding forces such as covalent/ionic/metallic.
• There are 4 main types of intermolecular forces (Also called Van Der Waals Forces, named ofter Johannes Diderik van der Waals, 1910 Nobel
Prize winner in Physics): -London forces
-Ion-Dipole forces
London
Dispersion
London Dispersion Forces
While the electrons in the 1s orbital of helium would repel each other
(and, therefore, tend to stay far away from each other), it does
London Dispersion Forces
London Dispersion Forces
Another helium nearby, then,
would have a dipole induced in it,
as the electrons on the left side
of helium atom 2 repel the
London Dispersion Forces
London dispersion forces, or dispersion forces, are attractions between an
instantaneous dipole (random dipole caused by moving e-) and an induced dipole (dipole caused by one atom pushing e- around in
London Dispersion Forces
• These forces are always present in all molecules, whether they are polar or nonpolar.
• The ONLY I.M. Forces present in nonpolar
substances
• The tendency of an electron cloud to distort in this
Factors Affecting London Forces
• The shape of the molecule affects the
strength of dispersion forces:
• long, skinny molecules (like n -pentane) tend to have stronger dispersion forces
• than short, fat ones (like neopentane). • This is due to the increased surface
area in n-pentane.
• They can line up and “spoon” better,
Factors Affecting London Forces
•
The
strength of LDF also tends to increase
with increased molecular weight.
•
Larger atoms have larger/dispersed
Dipole-Dipole
(Polarity)
Dipole-Dipole Interactions
• Molecules that have
permanent dipoles
(dipoles that are always present, not
instantaneous or
induced) are attracted to each other.
• The positive end of
one is attracted to the negative end of the
other and vice-versa.
Dipole-Dipole
• D-D interactions are probably the easiest to
understand conceptually.
• + and – are attracted to each other
• The more polar a permanent molecule dipole
the more the molecules are attracted to each other.
• This is why we spent most of the last two units
Ion-Dipole
Ion-Dipole Interactions
• Ion-dipole interactions are an
important force in ionic
solutions (typically aqueous.) • The strength of these forces
are what makes it possible for ionic substances to dissolve in polar solvents.
• Remember for solubility:
“Like dissolves like”
Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, nonpolar substances
Hydrogen
Bonding
Hydrogen Bonding
• Hydrogen Bonding: The strongest possible dipole-dipole interaction that happens in
molecules containing Hydrogen bonded directly to oxygen, nitrogen, or Fluorine.
• Typically the strongest of the intermolecular forces. So strong that it is called Hydrogen “Bonding” because it is closest to the
strength of a chemical bond.
• BUT H-bonds are NOT chemical bonds,
just a really strong intermolecular force.
• Remember, IMF are only 10% of bonding
Hydrogen Bonding
• Hydrogen is very exposed by O’s high EN pulling H’s bonding e- towards it
• The exposed nucleus is VERY attracted to an adjacent
molecules lone pair
Intermolecular Forces
Roundup
• So really we only have two types: • Dipole-Dipole: Polarity attraction
-Only occur if the molecule has polarity
-if it involves ions acting alone then it is ion-dipole (but basically dipole)
-If it involves H bonded to O, N, or F then H-bonding (extreme dipole-dipole)
• London Forces:
-ALWAYS occur in polar OR non-polar substances -dominant force in non-polar substance
Now you try
• Predict the dominant intermolecular force found in each substance (it may help to draw the Lewis Dot Diagrams):
1. Hydrofluoric acid 2. CO2 3. H2O
4. NaCl(aq) 5. CH4 6. CCl3Br
1. H-Bonding 2. London 3. H-Bonding
Intermolecular
IM Force Properties
• Many properties of a substance are caused by
its chemical bonding: color, conductivity, solubility, texture, etc…
• IMF are usually correlated to four properties: -viscosity
-surface tension -vapor pressure
Viscosity
•
Resistance of a liquid to flow is called
viscosity.
•
It is related to the
ease with which
molecules can move past each other.
•
Viscosity increases with stronger
Surface Tension
•
Surface tension results from
the net inward force
experienced by the molecules
on the surface of a liquid.
•
Enables floating of certain
objects.
•
Causes “meniscus” effect in
liquids like water…

Vapor Pressure
• At any temperature, some molecules in a liquid have enough energy to escape as a gas.
• As the temperature rises, the fraction of
Vapor Pressure
As temperature increases or pressure decreases,
more molecules escape the liquid and the
Vapor Pressure
In a closed system like this, the liquid and vapor reach a state of dynamic equilibrium: liquid
molecules evaporate and vapor molecules condense
Vapor Pressure
•
Liquids with high IMF make it more difficult for
particles to escape as gas.
•
So liquids with high IMF have low vapor
pressures
Boiling
• The boiling point of a liquid
is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals
atmospheric pressure.
• The ”normal” boiling point is
the temperature at which its vapor pressure is 760 torr.
• Do not confuse with
evaporation!
• A boiling diagram like this
only shows part of the picture, we need phase
Phase Diagrams
Phase diagrams display the phase of a substance at
• The AB line is the liquid-vapor interface.
It ends at the ”critical point” (B); above this critical
• The AD line is the interface between liquid and solid.
• Below the triple point pressure, the substance cannot exist in the liquid state.
Phase Diagram of Water
• Note the high critical
temperature and critical pressure:
• These are due to the
strong hydrogen bonding forces between water
molecules.
• The slope of the solid–liquid
line is negative.
• This means that water
uniquely prefers to be a liquid at high pressures due to H-Bonding
Phase Diagram of
Carbon Dioxide
• Carbon dioxide cannot
exist in the liquid state at pressures below
5.11 atm; CO2
sublimes at normal pressures.
• Carbon dioxide has a “normal” positive
melting point curve
Now you try
• What phase changes would occur if…
Liquid water was heated from
-100 °C to 40 °C at 1 atm pressure.
Ice liquid (melting)
Water vapor in a vacuum at 2 torr is cooled from 0 °C to -265 °C
Vapor Ice (deposition)
Steam at 140 °C is pressurized from 1 atm to 200 atm, then cooled to -130 °C
Phase Change
Energetics of Phase Change
• Heat of Fusion: Energy required to change a solid at its melting point to a liquid.
Energetics of Phase Change
• The energy required to undergo phase change can be calculated for a given mass of matter using the heat of fusion or heat of vaporization, ΔHfus and ΔHvap
respectively.
• These values are usually given in a problem or looked
up in table.
• Example: to calculate the energy needed to melt 100
g of ice.
q = ΔHfus x m = 0.333 kJ/g x 100 g = 33.3 kJ
Or to calculate the energy needed to vaporize the same amount.
q = ΔHvap x m = 2.26 kJ/g x 100 g = 226 kJ
Phase Change Energetics
• To calculate the full energy change for a given
quantity of matter that you have to account for:
• 1. Heating/cooling matter: The energy needed
to heat the substance to or beyond the melting and/or boiling temperature. (the ol’ q
equation)
• 2. Changing the phase of the matter: The
energy needed to overcome the intermolecular forces once the melting and/or boiling
Heating/Cooling Curve
• The phase changeenergetics can be summarized in a “Heat Curve”
• The diagonal sections
correspond to heating a
substance to the next phase
change temp.
• The flat sections correspond to the substance
Heating/Cooling Curve
For example, calculating theenergy to make ice
steam requires 5 calculations:
1. E to heat ice 2. E to phase
change solid
liquid
3. E to heat liquid 4. E to phase
change liquid
gas
5. E to heat steam Steam ice would be the reverse
Heating/Cooling Curve
For example,• Steam ice would be the reverse
(exotherm)
• Since energy is conserved, you just reverse your signs.
• ΔHfus = -ΔHmelting • ΔHvap = -
ΔHcondensation
Example
• How much energy is needed to heat 100g ice at -10 °C to steam at 250 °C
• Watch your units!
1.) heat ice: q = Csice x m x Δt = 2.1 x 100 x 10 = 2100 J
2.) Melting: q = ΔHfus x m = 0.333 kJ/g x 100 g = 33.3 kJ = 33,300 J
3.) heat water: q = Cs x m x Δt = 4.18 x 100 x 100 = 41,800 J
4.) Boiling: q = ΔHvap x m = 2.26 kj/g x 100 g = 226 kj = 226,000 J
5.) heat steam: q = Cssteam x m x Δt = 1.996 x 100 x 150 = 29,940 J
• Add up each q:
2100 J + 33,300 J + 41,800 J +
Now you try
• Calculate the amount of energy RELEASED when 400.0
grams of steam at 180 °C is cooled at 1 atm to ice at -35 °C Cs ice = 2.09 J/gk Cs water = 4.18 J/gk Cs steam = 1.99 J/gk
ΔHfus = 0.334 kJ/g ΔHvap = 2.26 kJ/g
• Cooling steam: 400g x 1.99 x (100-180) = -63680 J = -637 kJ
• Steamwater: 400g x -2.26 kJ/g = -904 kJ
• Cooling water: 400g x 4.18 x (0-100) = -167200 J = -167 kJ
• Waterice: 400g x -0.334 kJ/g = -133.6 kJ

Solid Specific Properties
Two general types of solids:
• Crystalline: Highly ordered/structured atomic
arrangement.
Attractions in Ionic Crystals
In ionic crystals, ions pack themselves so as to maximize the attractions and minimize
Crystalline Solids
Because of the order in a
crystal, we can focus on
the repeating pattern of
arrangement called the
unit cell.
Crystalline Solids
There are several types of basic arrangements in
crystals, but we will focus on three for this class:
Now you try
• Gallium crystallizes in a primitive cubic unit
cell. The length of the unit cell edge is 3.70 The radius of a Ga atom is __________ Å.
3.70 / 2 = 1.85 A
• Chromium crystallizes in a body-centered cubic
unit cell. There are __________ chromium atoms per unit cell.
