States of Matter
2. **Volume-Temperature Relationship**
- How does the volume of a gas change with temperature?
- It increases with temperature and decreases with pressure.
6. **Kinetic-Molecular Model**
- How is the kinetic-molecular model used to describe states of matter?
- It explains particle proximity, motion, changes of state, and vapor pressure.
1. **Question:** What are the basic assumptions of the kinetic theory applied to an ideal
gas?
**Answer:**
- Gas particles in constant random motion
- Distance between particles is greater than molecular diameter
- No intermolecular forces of attraction/repulsion
- Collisions between particles are elastic
- High temperature, low pressure for ideal behavior
2. **Question:** What are the limitations of ideal gas behavior at low temperatures and
high pressures?
**Answer:**
- Deviations due to attractive forces between molecules
- Volume of molecules not negligible compared to container
- Visible at low temperatures and high pressures
5. **Question:** Explain the lattice structures of crystalline solids. What causes high
melting and boiling points in ionic compounds?
**Answer:**
- Ionic compounds have giant lattice structures with strong ionic forces
- High melting and boiling points due to strong forces between ions
6. **Question:** Describe the structure and properties of simple molecular solids like
iodine.
**Answer:**
- Regular arrangement of molecules with weak intermolecular forces
- Low melting points, crystalline
10. **Question:** How can physical data be used to determine the structure and bonding
in a substance?
**Answer:**
- Physical data like melting points, conductivity can indicate type of bonding
12. **Question:** Describe the properties of ice and water attributed to hydrogen
bonding.
**Answer:**
- Hydrogen bonding gives ice high surface tension, lower density than water
13. **Question:** How is vapor pressure related to equilibrium between liquid and
vapor?
**Answer:**
- Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by vapor in equilibrium with liquid
- Increases as temperature rises
14. **Question:** How does solubility change with temperature for solids and gases?
**Answer:**
- Solubility of solids generally increases with temperature
- Solubility of gases generally decreases with temperature
15. **Question:** Explain conductivity in solids and liquids, comparing metals, liquids,
and gases.
**Answer:**
- Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat
- Liquids and gases have varying conductivity, liquids better than gases
17. **Question:** Explain the properties and structure of diamond and graphite.
**Answer:**
- Diamond: Tetrahedral structure, high melting point, doesn't conduct
- Graphite: Layers with delocalized electrons, conducts
20. **Question:** Explain the structure and properties of simple molecular solids like
iodine.
**Answer:**
- Crystalline solid with weak intermolecular forces, low melting point
