Kinetic Molecular Theory

-It is a model used to explain the behaviour of matter. It is based on a


series of postulates.

KMT Postulates
- Matter is made of particles that are constantly in motion. This energy in
motion is called kinetic energy.

-The amount of kinetic energy in a substance is related to its temperature.

-There is a space between particles. The amount of space in between


particles is related to the substance’s state of matter.

-Phase changes happen when the temperature of the substance changes


sufficiently.

PHASE CHANGES

Gas to Liquid —----> Condensation

Liquid to Solid —---> Freezing

Solid to Liquid —----> Melting

Liquid to Gas —-----> Vaporization

Gas to Solid —-----> Deposition

Solid to Gas —------> Sublimation


Phase Changes

Condensation- is a process by which water vapor in the air is changed into


liquid water.

Freezing- The process through which a substance changes from a liquid to


a solid.

Melting- Change of a solid into a liquid when heat is applied.

Vaporization- Conversion of a substance from the liquid phase into the


gaseous phase.

Deposition- When a substance in gas form changes state to become a solid.

Sublimation- When a solid turns directly into a gas, skipping the liquid
phase.

ENDOTHERMIC VS EXOTHERMIC

-Freezing, Deposition, and Condensation are EXOTHERMIC.


-Melting, Sublimation, and Vaporization are ENDOTHERMIC.

-If heat is added to a substance, such as in melting, vaporization, and


sublimation, the process is endothermic.

-If heat is removed from a substance, such as in freezing and condensation,


then the process is exothermic.
KMT Postulates

-There are attractive forces in between particles called intermolecular


forces. The strength of these forces increase as particles get closer
together.

INTRAMOLECULAR FORCES

Ionic Bonds- This bond is formed by the complete transfer of valence


electron (s) between atoms.

Covalent Bonds- They share electrons in order to achieve octet


configuration and become more stable.
Polar Covalent Bonds- Formed when atoms of slightly different
electronegativities share electrons. The difference in electronegativity
between 0.5 and 1.9.

Nonpolar Covalent Bonds- A nonpolar covalent bond is formed between


same atoms with very similar electronegativities — the difference in
elecrtonegativity <0.5.
Mettalic Bonds- This type of covalent bonding specifically occurs between
atoms of metals, in which the valence electrons are free to move through
the lattice.

Dipole-Dipole- These forces occur when the partially positively charged part
of a molecule interacts with the partially negatively charged part of the
neighboring molecule.
Hydrogen Bonding- This is a special kind of dipole-dipole interaction that
ocuurs specifically between a hydrogen atom bonded to either an oxygen,
nitrogen, or flourine atom.
