What to Focus On
- Intermolecular forces are weaker than chemical bonds but crucial for liquid state.
- Ion-dipole forces are important in dissolving ionic compounds in water.
- Dipole-dipole forces exist in polar molecules.
- Liquids have fixed volume but variable shape.
- They are almost incompressible due to close molecular packing.
- Diffusion in liquids is slower than in gases.
- Vapour pressure is the pressure of vapour in equilibrium with its liquid.
- It increases with temperature.
- Boiling occurs when vapour pressure = atmospheric pressure.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Evaporation only happens when the liquid is hot or boiling.
Boiling point is the same everywhere for a given liquid.
Vapour pressure increases with the amount of liquid in a closed container.
Memory Tips
Intermolecular forces in liquids: Ion-Dipole, Dipole-Dipole, Dipole-Induced Dipole, London Dispersion, Hydrogen Bonding
Evaporation occurs at surface, boiling occurs throughout the liquid
Surface tension causes spherical drops
Cohesive forces vs Adhesive forces
