States of Matter and IMF Quest

Front

The weaker the intermolecular forces of a substance, the _____________ the boiling point.

Back

lower

Front

Rank these in order of strength from strongest (first) to weakest (last): covalent bond, London forces, hydrogen bond, dipole-dipole attraction.

Back

covalent bond > hydrogen bond > dipole-dipole > London

Front

The amount of force pushing on an area is the definition of....

Back

Pressure

Front

The theory that states that all particles in matter are constantly moving; helps to describe the phases of matter.

Back

kinetic theory

Front

Attractions between water molecules are called

Back

Hydrogen bonds

Front

What is the primary factor that determines the state of matter?

Back

Intermolecular forces

Front

Define 'intermolecular forces'.

Back

Forces of attraction or repulsion between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions).

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy in gases?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of gas particles increases.

Front

What type of intermolecular force is present in polar molecules?

Back

Dipole-dipole attraction.

Front

What is absolute zero?

Back

The theoretical temperature at which a substance has minimal thermal energy, 0 Kelvin.
