What are forces between molecules in a solid called?
all such forces are intermolecular forces.
What temperature melts a solid?
The temperature at which intermolecular forces push the molecules apart
Why are some atoms or molecules in liquid form and not a solid?
The atoms and molecules in liquids move in a random pattern relative to one another instead of being in a solid form due to the intermolecular forces of attraction. The intermolecular forces are too weak to hold onto the molecules in a solid form.
How do intermolecular forces determine a substance's state?
If the intermolecular forces are great enough they can hold the molecules together as a liquid. If they are even stronger they will hold the molecules together as a solid. Water has nearly the same mass as methane and ammonia molecules, but the greater molecular forces between water molecules causes the water to be liquid at room temperature, while ammonia and methane, with weaker intermolecular forces, are gases at room temperature.
What intermolecular forces must be overcome to melt solid I2?
To melt solid I2, one must overcome the covalent bonds holding the molecules together.
What are forces between molecules in a solid called?
all such forces are intermolecular forces.
How do the molecules of a solid differ from the molecules in a gas?
In solid, the molecules r tightly packed by intermolecular forces, but in gas these forces r very loose.
When a molecular solid mixes with water do the covalent bonds within molecules break?
No, dissolving does not break covalent bonds. The molecules separate because intermolecular forces such as dipole-dipole attractions are disrupted.
What makes gas molecules different from liquid and solid molecules?
Mainly their weak intermolecular forces.
What temperature melts a solid?
The temperature at which intermolecular forces push the molecules apart
Why do gases difuses but not solid?
The intermolecular forces holding gas molecules together are not very strong and thus the molecules are free to move around freely. This allows diffusion. The intermolecular forces holding molecules of a solid together are rather strong, and the molecules thus cannot move very freely. This prevents diffusion.
Why are some atoms or molecules in liquid form and not a solid?
The atoms and molecules in liquids move in a random pattern relative to one another instead of being in a solid form due to the intermolecular forces of attraction. The intermolecular forces are too weak to hold onto the molecules in a solid form.
Why can solids be converted to liquids?
In solids the intermolecular spaces are very small and the intermolecular forces of attraction are very high.When a solid is heated or get some form of energy, due to this the bonds between the molecules break and the intermolecular spaces increase.Thus as intermolecular spaces in liquid is greater it is converted to a liquid.
What does a high melting point temperature indicate about a substance?
Strong Intermolecular Forces attract the molecules
What makes liquid to be solid?
Molecules in liquids move in a random pattern relative to one another because of the intermolecular forces are too weak to hold the atoms or molecules in a solid form. When cooling, the molecules lose their energy and they move slower. As the intermolecular forces of attraction become stronger molecules come closer to each other and are held together as a solid. Forces that attract molecules to other molecules are covalent bonding, hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole attraction, and london dispersion forces. Covalent bonds are usually the strongest.
