States of Matter
The fundamental
difference between states
of matter is the strength of
the intermolecular forces
of attraction.
Stronger forces bring
molecules closer together.
Solids and liquids are
referred to as the
condensed phases.

Clausius–Clapeyron Equation
2-Point Form
• The equation below can be used with just two
measurements of vapor pressure and temperature
– however, it generally gives less precise results
• fewer data points will not give as precise an average because there is
less averaging out of the errors
o as with any other sets of measurements
• It can also be used to predict the vapor pressure if you
know the heat of vaporization and the normal boiling point
– remember: the vapor pressure at the normal boiling point is 760

Supercritical Fluid
• As a liquid is heated in a sealed container, more vapor
collects, causing the pressure inside the container to rise
– and the density of the vapor to increase
– and the density of the liquid to decrease
• At some temperature, the meniscus between the liquid and
vapor disappears and the states commingle to form a
supercritical fluid
• Supercritical fluids have properties of both gas and liquid
states

Heat of Fusion
• The amount of heat energy required to melt one mole of the
solid is called the Heat of Fusion, DHfus
– sometimes called the enthalpy of fusion
• Always endothermic, therefore DHfus is +
• Somewhat temperature dependent
· DHcrystallization = −DHfusion
· Generally much less than DHvap
· DHsublimation = DHfusion + DHvaporization

Crystal Lattice
• When allowed to cool slowly, the particles in a
liquid will arrange themselves to give the
maximum attractive forces
therefore minimize the energy
• The result will generally be a crystalline solid
• The arrangement of the particles in a
crystalline solid is called the crystal lattice
• The smallest unit that shows the pattern of
arrangement for all the particles is called the
unit cell
Tro: Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 2/e 54 Copyright 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Unit Cells
• Unit cells are 3-dimensional
usually containing 2 or 3 layers of particles
• Unit cells are repeated over and over to give the
macroscopic crystal structure of the solid
• Starting anywhere within the crystal results in the same
unit cell
• Each particle in the unit cell is called a lattice point
• Lattice planes are planes connecting equivalent points in
unit cells throughout the lattice

Unit Cells
• The number of other particles each particle is in
contact with is called its coordination number
for ions, it is the number of oppositely charged ions an
ion is in contact with
• Higher coordination number means more
interaction, therefore stronger attractive forces
holding the crystal together
• The packing efficiency is the percentage of
volume in the unit cell occupied by particles
the higher the coordination number, the more efficiently
the particles are packing together

Sample Integrative Exercise Putting Concepts Together
The substance CS2 has a melting point of –110.8 °C and a boiling point of
46.3 °C. Its density at 20 °C is 1.26 g/cm3. It is highly flammable. (a)
What is the name of this compound? (b) List the intermolecular forces that
CS2 molecules would have with each other. (c) Predict what type of
crystalline solid CS2(s) would form. (d) Write a balanced equation for the
combustion of this compound in air. (You will have to decide on the most
likely oxidation products.) (e) The critical temperature and pressure for
CS2 are 552 K and 78 atm, respectively. Compare these values with those
for CO2 (Table 11.5), and discuss the possible origins of the differences.

as carbon dioxide . (Section
2.8)
(b) Only London dispersion forces affect CS2; it does not have a dipole
moment, based upon its molecular shape, and obviously cannot undergo
hydrogen bonding.
(c) Because CS2(s) consists of individual CS2 molecules, it will be a
molecular solid.
(d) The most likely products of the combustion will be CO2 and SO2.
(Sections 3.2 and 7.8) Under some conditions SO3 might be formed, but
this would be the less likely outcome. Thus, we have the following
equation for combustion:
CS2(l) + 3 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 SO2(g)

Solution (continued)
(f) The density would be lower at the higher temperature. Density
decreases with increasing temperature because the molecules possess
higher kinetic energies. Their more energetic movements result in larger
average distances between molecules, which translate into lower
densities.

Ionic Solids
• Lattice sites occupied by ions
• Held together by attractions between oppositely charged ions
nondirectional
therefore every cation attracts all anions around it, and vice-versa
• The coordination number represents the number of close
cation–anion interactions in the crystal
• The higher the coordination number, the more stable the solid
lowers the potential energy of the solid
• The coordination number depends on the relative sizes of the
cations and anions that maintains charge balance
generally, anions are larger than cations
the number of anions that can surround the cation is limited by the
size of the cation

Band Theory
• When two atomic orbitals combine they
produce both a bonding and an antibonding
molecular orbital
• When many atomic orbitals combine they
produce a band of bonding molecular orbitals
and a band of antibonding molecular orbitals
• The band of bonding molecular orbitals is
called the valence band
• The band of antibonding molecular orbitals is
called the conduction band

Band Gap
• At absolute zero, all the electrons will occupy
the valence band
• As the temperature rises, some of the electrons
may acquire enough energy to jump to the
conduction band
• The difference in energy between the valence
band and conduction band is called the band
gap
the larger the band gap, the fewer electrons there
are with enough energy to make the jump

Conductivity

Band Gap and Conductivity
• The more electrons at any one time that a substance has in
the conduction band, the better conductor of electricity it is
• If the band gap is ~0, then the electrons will be almost as
likely to be in the conduction band as the valence band and
the material will be a conductor
metals
the conductivity of a metal decreases with temperature
• If the band gap is small, then a significant number of the
electrons will be in the conduction band at normal
temperatures and the material will be a semiconductor
graphite
the conductivity of a semiconductor increases with temperature
• If the band gap is large, then effectively no electrons will be
in the conduction band at normal temperatures and the
material will be an insulator

Doping Semiconductors
• Doping is adding impurities to the semiconductor’s
crystal to increase its conductivity
• Goal is to increase the number of electrons in the
conduction band
• n-type semiconductors do not have enough
electrons themselves to add to the conduction
band, so they are doped by adding electron-rich
impurities
• p-type semiconductors are doped with an
electron-deficient impurity, resulting in electron
“holes” in the valence band. Electrons can jump
between these holes in the valence band, allowing
conduction of electricity.
