III. Discussion
By the late 19th century, scientists had begun accepting the atomic theory of matter started relating it
to individual molecules. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases comes from observations that
scientists made about gases to explain their macroscopic properties. The following are the basic
assumptions of the Kinetic Molecular Theory:
1. The volume occupied by the individual particles of a gas is negligible compared to the
volume of the gas itself.
2. The particles of an ideal gas exert no attractive forces on each other or on their
surroundings.
3. Gas particles are in a constant state of random motion and move in straight lines until
they collide with another body.
4. The collisions exhibited by gas particles are completely elastic; when two molecules
collide, total kinetic energy is conserved.
5. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to absolute
temperature only; this implies that all molecular motion ceases if the temperature is
reduced to absolute zero.
Kinetic energy is energy that an object has because of its motion. The Kinetic Molecular Theory
explains the forces between molecules and the energy that they possess.
• The space the molecules occupy (volume) depends on the space between the molecules and not
the space the molecules occupy themselves.
• The molecules are in constant motion. This motion is different for each of the three states of matter.
They are colliding with each other and the walls of their container. When the molecules collide with
each other, or with the walls of a container, there is no significant loss of energy. Absolute zero is the
temperature used to describe when all movement is as slow as it can possibly be.
KEY POINTS!
All particles have energy, and the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of
matter is in, which determines if the substance is a solid, liquid, or gas. Solid particles have the
least amount of energy, and gas particles have the greatest amount of energy.
The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles. A
change in phase may occur when the energy of the particles is changed.

There are spaces between particles of matter. The average amount of empty space between
molecules gets progressively larger as a sample of matter moves from the solid to the liquid
and gas phases.
STATES OF MATTER
Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these
particles differ in the three phases.

Liquids
The intermolecular attractive forces are strong enough to hold molecules close together
Liquids are more dense and less compressible than gasses
Liquids have a definite volume, independent of the size and shape of their container
The attractive forces are not strong enough, however, to keep neighboring molecules in a
fixed position and molecules are free to move past or slide over one another
Thus, liquids can be poured and assume the shape of their containers
Solids
The intermolecular forces between neighboring molecules are strong enough to keep them
locked in position
Solids (like liquids) are not very compressible due to the lack of space between molecules
If the molecules in a solid adopt a highly ordered packing arrangement, the structures are said
to be crystalline
Due to the strong intermolecular forces between neighboring molecules, solids are rigid

III. Discussion
Intermolecular forces are forces between molecules. Depending on its strength, intermolecular forces
cause the forming of three physical states: solid, liquid and gas. The physical properties of melting
point, boiling point, vapor pressure, evaporation, viscosity, surface tension, and solubility are related
to the strength of attractive forces between molecules. These attractive forces are called
Intermolecular Forces.
There are four types of intermolecular forces. Most of the intermolecular forces are identical to
bonding between atoms in a single molecule. Intermolecular forces just extend the thinking to forces
between molecules and follows the patterns already set by the bonding within molecules.

LETS TRY!
Decide whether the molecules represented by the following formulas are polar or nonpolar.
a. CO2 b. OF2 c. CH2Cl2 d. HCN
Solution:
The electronegativities of carbon and oxygen are 2.55 and 3.44. The 0.89 difference in
electronegativity indicates that the C-O bonds are polar, but the symmetrical arrangement of
these bonds makes the molecule nonpolar.
If we put arrows into the geometric sketch for CO 2, we see that they exactly balance each
other, in both direction and magnitude. This shows the symmetry of the bonds.
The electronegativities of oxygen and fluorine, 3.44 and 3.98, respectively, produce a 0.54
difference that leads us to predict that the O-F bonds are polar. The molecular geometry of
OF2 is bent. Such an asymmetrical distribution of polar bonds would produce a polar
molecule.
The electronegativities of hydrogen, carbon, and chlorine are 2.20, 2.55, and 3.16. The 0.35
difference in electronegativity for the H-C bonds tells us that they are essentially nonpolar.
The 0.61 difference in electronegativity for the C-Cl bonds shows that they are polar. The
following geometric sketches show that the polar bonds are asymmetrically arranged, so the
molecule is polar.

d. The Lewis structure and geometric sketch for HCN are the same:
The electronegativities of hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen are 2.20, 2.55, and 3.04. The 0.35
difference in electronegativity for the H-C bond shows that it is essentially nonpolar. The 0.49
difference in electronegativity for the C-N bond tells us that it is polar. Molecules with one
polar bond are always polar
