kinetic-molecular theory. Because all of the gases known to Boltzmann
and Maxwell contained molecules, the name of the model refers to
molecules. The word kinetic comes from a Greek word meaning
to move. Objects in motion have energy called kinetic energy. The
kinetic-molecular theory describes the behavior of matter in terms of

■ Figure 12.2 Kinetic energy can be
transferred between gas particles during
an elastic collision.
Explain the influence that gas particles
have on each other, both in terms of
collisions and what happens to particles
between collisions.
Particle size Gases consist of small particles that are separated from
one another by empty space. The volume of the particles is small com-
pared with the volume of the empty space. Because gas particles are far
apart, they experience no significant attractive or repulsive forces.
Particle motion Gas particles are in constant, random motion.
Particles move in a straight line until they collide with other particles
or with the walls of their container, as shown in Figure 12.2. Collisions
between gas particles are elastic. An elastic collision is one in which
no kinetic energy is lost. Kinetic energy can be transferred between
colliding particles, but the total kinetic energy of the two particles
does not change.
Particle energy Two factors determine the kinetic energy of a
particle: mass and velocity. The kinetic energy of a particle can be repre-
sented by the following equation.
KE = _
1
mv 2
2
KE is kinetic energy, m is the mass of the particle, and v is its velocity.
Velocity reflects both the speed and the direction of motion. In a sample
of a single gas, all particles have the same mass, but all particles do not
have the same velocity. Therefore, all particles do not have the same
kinetic energy. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy
of the particles in a sample of matter.

Low density Remember that density is mass per unit volume. The
density of chlorine gas is 2.95 × 10 -3 g/mL at 20°C; the density of solid
gold is 19.3 g/mL. Gold is more than 6500 times as dense as chlorine.
This large difference cannot be due only to the difference in mass between
gold atoms and chlorine molecules (about 3:1). As the kinetic-molecular
theory states, a great deal of space exists between gas particles. Thus,
there are fewer chlorine molecules than gold atoms in the same volume.

Compression Expansion
■ Figure 12.3 In a closed container, compression and expansion change the volume
occupied by a constant mass of particles.
Relate the change in volume to the density of the gas particles in each cylinder.
Compression and expansion If you squeeze a pillow made of

foam, you can compress it; that is, you can reduce its volume. The foam
contains air pockets. The large amount of empty space between the
particles in the air in those pockets allows the air to be pushed easily into
a smaller volume. When you stop squeezing, the random motion of the
particles fills the available space, and the pillow expands to its original
shape. Figure 12.3 illustrates what happens to the density of a gas in a
container as it is compressed and as it is allowed to expand.
Diffusion and effusion According to the kinetic-molecular theory,
there are no significant forces of attraction between gas particles. Thus,
gas particles can flow easily past each other. Often, the space into which
a gas flows is already occupied by another gas. The random motion of
the gas particles causes the gases to mix until they are evenly distributed.
Diffusion is the term used to describe the movement of one material
through another. The term might be new, but you are probably familiar
with the process. If food is cooking in the kitchen, you can smell it
throughout the house because the gas particles diffuse. Particles diffuse
from an area of high concentration (the kitchen) to one of low concen-
tration (the other rooms in the house).
Effusion is a process related to diffusion. During effusion, a gas
escapes through a tiny opening. What happens when you puncture a
container, such as a balloon or a tire? In 1846, Thomas Graham con-
ducted experiments to measure the rates of effusion for different gases
at the same temperature. Graham designed his experiments so that the
gases effused into a vacuum—space containing no matter. He discov-
ered an inverse relationship between effusion rates and molar mass.
Graham’s law of effusion states that the rate of effusion for a gas is
inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass.
Graham’s Law
Rate of effusion ∝ __
1
√
molar mass
The rate of diffusion or effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of
its molar mass.

The rate of diffusion depends mainly on the mass of the particles
involved. Lighter particles diffuse more rapidly than heavier particles.
Recall that different gases at the same temperature have the same average
kinetic energy as described by the equation KE = ½ mv 2. However, the
mass of gas particles varies from gas to gas. For lighter particles to have
the same average kinetic energy as heavier particles, they must have, on
average, a greater velocity.
Graham’s law also applies to rates of diffusion, which is logical
because heavier particles diffuse more slowly than lighter particles at the
same temperature. Using Graham’s law, you can set up a proportion to
compare the diffusion rates for two gases.

You are given the molar masses for ammonia and hydrogen chloride. To find the ratio
of the diffusion rates for ammonia and hydrogen chloride, use the equation for Graham’s

The ratio of diffusion rates is 1.47.
3 Evaluate the Answer

A ratio of roughly 1.5 is logical because molecules of ammonia are about half as massive
as molecules of hydrogen chloride. Because the molar masses have three significant
figures, the answer also does. Note that the units cancel, and the answer is stated
correctly without any units.

Gas Pressure
Have you watched someone try to walk across snow, mud, or hot asphalt
in high heels? If so, you might have noticed that the heels sank into the
soft surface. Figure 12.4 shows why a person sinks when wearing high
heels but does not sink when wearing boots. In each case, the force
pressing down on the soft surface is related to the person’s mass. With
boots, the force is spread out over a larger area. Pressure is defined as
force per unit area. The area of the bottom of a boot is much larger than
the area of the bottom of a high heeled shoe. So, the pressure on the soft
surface is less with a boot than it is with high heels.
Gas particles also exert pressure when they collide with the walls of
their container. Because an individual gas particle has little mass, it can
exert little pressure. However, a liter-sized container could hold 10 22 gas
particles. With this many particles colliding, the pressure can be high.
Air pressure Earth is surrounded by an atmosphere that extends
into space for hundreds of kilometers. Because the particles in air move
in every direction, they exert pressure in all directions. This pressure is

with the density of the liquid. To test this idea, Torricelli designed the
equipment shown in Figure 12.5. He filled a thin glass tube that was
closed at one end with mercury. While covering the open end so that air
could not enter, he inverted the tube and placed it (open end down) in a
dish of mercury. The open end was below the surface of the mercury in
the dish. The height of the mercury in the tube fell to about 75 cm,
which validated Terricelli’s hypothesis because mercury is approximately
13.6 times more dense than water.

Manometers A manometer is an instrument used to measure
gas pressure in a closed container. In a manometer, a flask is

is opened, gas particles diffuse out of the flask into the U-tube.

use more traditional units of pressure. For example, engineers

sures measured by barometers and manometers can be reported
in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). There is also a unit called

Dalton’s law of partial pressures When Dalton studied the

properties of gases, he found that each gas in a mixture exerts pressure
independently of the other gases present. Illustrated in Figure 12.7,
Dalton’s law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mix-
ture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures of all the gases in the
mixture. The portion of the total pressure contributed by a single gas is
called its partial pressure. The partial pressure of a gas depends on the
number of moles of gas, the size of the container, and the temperature of
the mixture. It does not depend on the identity of the gas. At a given
temperature and pressure, the partial pressure of 1 mol of any gas is the
same. Dalton’s law of partial pressures can be summarized by the equa-
tion at the top of the next page.

You are given the total pressure of a mixture and the partial pressure of two gases in

partial pressures to total pressure.

P total = P N 2 + P CO 2 + P O 2 State Dalton’s law of partial pressures.
P O 2 = P total - P CO 2 - P N 2 Solve for P O 2.
P O 2 = 0.97 atm - 0.70 atm - 0.12 atm Substitute P N 2 = 0.12 atm, P CO 2 = 0.70 atm, and P total = 0.97 atm.
P O 2 = 0.15 atm
3 Evaluate the Answer

Adding the calculated value for the partial pressure of oxygen to the known partial
pressures gives the total pressure, 0.97 atm. The answer has two significant figures

collects, it displaces the water. The gas collected in the container will be
a mixture of hydrogen and water vapor. Therefore, the total pressure
inside the container will be the sum of the partial pressures of hydrogen
and water vapor.
The partial pressures of gases at the same temperature are related
to their concentration. The partial pressure of water vapor has a fixed
value at a given temperature. You can look up the value in a reference
table. At 20°C, the partial pressure of water vapor is 2.3 kPa. You can
calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen by subtracting the partial
pressure of water vapor from the total pressure.
As you will read in Chapter 13, knowing the pressure, volume, and
temperature of a gas allows you to calculate the number of moles of the
gas. Temperature and volume can be measured during an experiment.
Once the temperature is known, the partial pressure of water vapor is
used to calculate the pressure of the gas. The known values for volume,
temperature, and pressure are then used to find the number of moles.

Real-World Reading Link You might be aware that water is one of the rare
polar covalent: a type of bond that
forms when electrons are not shared substances that is found as a solid, a liquid, and a gas at atmospheric conditions.
equally This unique property, along with others that enable life as we understand it to
exist, stems from the forces that exist between water molecules.
New Vocabulary
dispersion force Intermolecular Forces
dipole-dipole force If all particles of matter at room temperature have the same average
hydrogen bond kinetic energy, why are some materials gases while others are liquids
or solids? The answer lies with the attractive forces within and between
particles. The attractive forces that hold particles together in ionic,
covalent, and metallic bonds are called intramolecular forces. The prefix
intra- means within. For example, intramural sports are competitions
among teams from within a single school or district. The term molecular
can refer to atoms, ions, or molecules. Table 12.2 summarizes what you
read about intramolecular forces in Chapters 7 and 8.
Intramolecular forces do not account for all attractions between par-
ticles. There are forces of attraction called intermolecular forces. The
prefix inter- means between or among. For example, an interview
is a conversation between two people. These forces can hold together
identical particles, such as water molecules in a drop of water, or two
different types of particles, such as carbon atoms in graphite and the
cellulose particles in paper. The three intermolecular forces that will be
discussed in this section are dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, and
hydrogen bonds. Although some intermolecular forces are stronger
than others, all intermolecular forces are weaker than the intramolecular
forces involved in bonding.

■ Figure 12.9 When two molecules are close together, the electron clouds repel
each other, creating temporary dipoles. The δ sign represents an area of partial charge on
the molecule.
Explain what the δ+ and δ- signs on a temporary dipole represent.
Dispersion forces Recall that oxygen molecules are nonpolar

because electrons are evenly distributed between the equally electro-
negative oxygen atoms. Under the right conditions, however, oxygen
molecules can be compressed into a liquid. For oxygen to condense,
there must be some force of attraction between its molecules.
The force of attraction between oxygen molecules is called a disper-
sion force. Dispersion forces are weak forces that result from tempo-
rary shifts in the density of electrons in electron clouds. Dispersion
forces are sometimes called London forces after the German-American
physicist who first described them, Fritz London.
Remember that the electrons in an electron cloud are in constant
motion. When two molecules are in close contact, especially when they
collide, the electron cloud of one molecule repels the electron cloud of
the other molecule. The electron density around each nucleus is, for
a moment, greater in one region of each cloud. Each molecule forms
a temporary dipole. When temporary dipoles are close together, a weak
dispersion force exists between oppositely charged regions of the
dipoles, as shown in Figure 12.9.
Reading Check Explain why dispersion forces form.
Dispersion forces exist between all particles. Dispersion forces are
weak for small particles, and these forces have an increasing effect as the
number of electrons involved increases. Thus, dispersion forces tend to
become stronger as the size of the particles increase. For example, fluo-
rine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine exist as diatomic molecules. Recall
that the number of nonvalence electrons increases from fluorine to
chlorine to bromine to iodine. Because the larger halogen molecules
have more electrons, there can be a greater difference between the posi-
tive and negative regions of their temporary dipoles and, thus, stronger
dispersion forces. This difference in dispersion forces explains why fluo-
rine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid, and iodine is a solid at
room temperature.

When hydrogen-chloride gas molecules approach, the partially posi-

tive hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted to the partially negative
chlorine atom in another molecule. Figure 12.10 shows multiple attrac-
tions among hydrogen-chloride molecules. Because the dipoles are per-
manent, you might expect dipole-dipole forces to be stronger than
dispersion forces. This prediction holds true for small polar molecules
with large dipoles. However, for many polar molecules, including the
HCl molecules in Figure 12.10, dispersion forces dominate dipole-
dipole forces.
Reading Check Compare dipole-dipole forces and dispersion forces.
Hydrogen bonds One special type of dipole-dipole attraction is
called a hydrogen bond. A hydrogen bond is a dipole-dipole attraction
that occurs between molecules containing a hydrogen atom bonded
to a small, highly electronegative atom with at least one lone electron
pair. Hydrogen bonds typically dominate both dispersion forces and
dipole-dipole forces. For a hydrogen bond to form, hydrogen must be
bonded to either a fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen atom. These atoms are
electronegative enough to cause a large partial positive charge on the
hydrogen atom, yet small enough that their lone pairs of electrons can
come close to hydrogen atoms. For example, in a water molecule, the
hydrogen atoms have a large partial positive charge and the oxygen atom
has a large partial negative charge. When water molecules approach,
a hydrogen atom on one molecule is attracted to the lone pair of electrons
on the oxygen atom on the other molecule, as shown in Figure 12.11.

Hydrogen bonds explain why water is a liquid at room temperature,

while compounds of comparable mass are gases. Look at the data in
Table 12.3. The difference between methane and water is easy to
explain. Because methane molecules are nonpolar, the only forces hold-
ing the molecules together are relatively weak dispersion forces. The
difference between ammonia and water is not as obvious. Molecules
of both compounds can form hydrogen bonds. Yet, ammonia is a
gas at room temperature, which indicates that the attractive forces
between ammonia molecules are not as strong. Because oxygen atoms
are more electronegative than nitrogen atoms, the O–H bonds in water
are more polar than the N–H bonds in ammonia. As a result, the hydro-
gen bonds between water molecules are stronger than those between
ammonia molecules.

the shape of a container, but the liquid cannot expand to fill its container, as

shown in Figure 12.12. According to the kinetic-molecular theory,
individual particles do not have fixed positions in the liquid. Forces of
attraction between particles in the liquid limit their range of motion so
that the particles remain closely packed in a fixed volume.
Density and compression At 25°C and 1 atm of air pressure,
liquids are much denser than gases. The density of a liquid is much
greater than that of its vapor at the same conditions. For example, liquid
water is about 1250 times denser than water vapor at 25°C and 1 atm of
pressure. Because they are at the same temperature, both gas and liquid
particles have the same average kinetic energy. Thus, the higher density
of liquids is due to the intermolecular forces that hold particles together.
Unlike gases, liquids are considered incompressible in many applica-
tions. The change in volume for liquids is much smaller because liquid
particles are already tightly packed. An enormous amount of pressure
must be applied to reduce the volume of a liquid by a very small amount.

■ Figure 12.13 Gases and liquids have
the ability to flow and diffuse. These photos
show one liquid diffusing through another
liquid.
Fluidity Gases and liquids are classified as fluids because they can
flow and diffuse. Figure 12.13 shows one liquid diffusing through
another liquid. Liquids usually diffuse more slowly than gases at the
same temperature, because intermolecular attractions interfere with the
flow. Thus, liquids are less fluid than gases. A comparison between
water and natural gas can illustrate this difference. When there is a leak
in a basement water pipe, the water remains in the basement unless the
amount of water released exceeds the volume of the basement.
A gas will not stay in the basement. For example, natural gas, or
methane, is a fuel burned in gas furnaces, hot-water heaters, and stoves.
Gas that leaks from a gas pipe diffuses throughout the house. Because
natural gas is odorless, companies that supply the fuel include a com-
pound with a distinct odor. Adding odor to natural gas warns the home-
owner of the leak. The customer has time to shut off the gas supply,
open windows to allow the gas to diffuse, and call the gas company to
report the leak.

molecules in Liquid A and Liquid B are similar. If the molecules in
Liquid A are more massive than the molecules in Liquid B, Liquid A
will have a greater viscosity. Liquid A’s molecules will, on average, move
more slowly than the molecules in Liquid B. Molecules with long
chains, such as cooking oils and motor oil, have a higher viscosity than
shorter, more-compact molecules, assuming the molecules exert the
same type of attractive forces. Within the long chains, there is less dis-
tance between atoms on neighboring molecules and, thus, a greater
chance for attractions between atoms.

Temperature Viscosity decreases with temperature. When you pour a
small amount of cooking oil into a frying pan, the oil tends not to spread
across the bottom of the pan until you heat it. With the increase in tem-
perature, there is an increase in the average kinetic energy of the oil
molecules. The added energy makes it easier for the molecules to over-
come the intermolecular forces that keep the molecules from flowing.
Another example of the effects of temperature on viscosity is motor
oil. Motor oil keeps the moving parts of an internal combustion engine
lubricated. Because temperature changes affect the viscosity of motor
oil, people once used different motor-oil blends in winter and summer.
The motor oil used in winter was designed to flow at low temperatures.
The motor oil used in summer was more viscous so that it could main-
tain sufficient viscosity on extremely hot days or during long trips.
Today, additives in motor oil help adjust the viscosity so that the same
oil blend can be used all year. Molecules in the additives are compact
spheres with relatively low viscosity at cool temperatures. At high tem-
peratures, the shape of the additive molecules changes to long strands.
These strands get tangled with the oil molecules, which increases the
viscosity of the oil.
Reading Check Infer why it is important for motor oil to remain
viscous.
Surface tension Intermolecular forces do not have an equal effect
on all particles in a liquid, as shown in Figure 12.16. Particles in the
middle of the liquid can be attracted to particles above them, below
them, and to either side. For particles at the surface of the liquid, there
are no attractions from above to balance the attractions from below.
Thus, there is a net attractive force pulling down on particles at the sur-
face. The surface tends to have the smallest possible area and to act
as though it is stretched tight like the head of a drum. For the surface
area to increase, particles from the interior must move to the surface.
It takes energy to overcome the attractions holding these particles in
the interior. The energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid
by a given amount is called surface tension. Surface tension is a mea-
sure of the inward pull by particles in the interior.

In general, the stronger the attractions between particles, the greater

the surface tension. Water has a high surface tension because its mole-
cules can form multiple hydrogen bonds. Drops of water are shaped like
spheres because the surface area of a sphere is smaller than the surface
area of any other shape of similar volume. Water’s high surface tension
is what allows the spider in Figure 12.16 to walk on the surface of
the pond.
The same forces that allow the spider to stay dry on the surface of a
pond also makes it difficult to use water alone to remove dirt from skin
and clothing. Because dirt particles cannot penetrate the surface of the
waterdrops, water alone cannot remove the dirt. Soaps and detergents
decrease the surface tension of water by disrupting the hydrogen bonds
between water molecules. When the hydrogen bonds are broken, the
water spreads out allowing the dirt to be carried away by the water.
Compounds that lower the surface tension of water are called surface-
active agents or surfactants.

Solids
Did you ever wonder why solids have a definite shape and volume?
According to the kinetic-molecular theory, a mole of solid particles has
as much kinetic energy as a mole of liquid or gas particles at the same
temperature. By definition, the particles in a solid must be in constant
motion. For a substance to be a solid rather than a liquid at a given tem-
perature, there must be strong attractive forces acting between particles
in the solid. These forces limit the motion of the particles to vibrations
around fixed locations in the solid. Thus, there is more order in a solid
than in a liquid. Because of this order, solids are not fluid. Only gases
and liquids are classified as fluids.
Density of solids In general, the particles in a solid are more
closely packed than those in a liquid. Thus, most solids are more dense
than most liquids. When the liquid and solid states of a substance coexist,
the solid almost always sinks in the liquid. Solid cubes of benzene sink
in liquid benzene because solid benzene is more dense than liquid
benzene. There is about a 10% difference in density between the solid
and liquid states of most substances. Because the particles in a solid
are closely packed, ordinary amounts of pressure will not change the
volume of a solid.
You cannot predict the relative densities of ice and liquid water

Crystalline solids Although ice is unusual in its density, ice is typical
of most solids in that its molecules are packed together in a predictable
way. A crystalline solid is a solid whose atoms, ions, or molecules are
arranged in an orderly, geometric structure. The locations of particles in
a crystalline solid can be represented as points on a framework called a
crystal lattice. Figure 12.19 shows three ways that particles in a crystal
lattice can be arranged to form a cube.

Categories of crystalline solids Crystalline solids can be

classified into five categories based on the types of particles they contain
and how thoses particles are bonded together: atomic solids, molecular
solids, covalent network solids, ionic solids, and metallic solids. Table
12.5 summarizes the general characteristics of each category and pro-
vides examples. The only atomic solids are noble gases. Their properties
reflect the weak dispersion forces between the atoms.
Molecular solids In molecular solids, the molecules are held
together by dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds.
Most molecular compounds are not solids at room temperature. Even
water, which can form strong hydrogen bonds, is a liquid at room
temperature. Molecular compounds such as sugar are solids at room
temperature because of their large molar masses. With larger molecules,
many weak attractions can combine to hold the molecules together.
Because they contain no ions, molecular solids are poor conductors
of heat and electricity.

Covalent network solids Atoms such as carbon and silicon, which

can form multiple covalent bonds, are able to form covalent network
solids. The covalent network structure of quartz, which contains silicon,
is shown in Figure 12.20. Carbon forms three types of covalent network
solids—diamond, graphite, and buckminsterfullerene. An element, such as
carbon, that exists in different forms at the same state—solid, liquid, or
gas—is called an allotrope. For more information about carbon allo-
tropes see the Elements Handbook.
Ionic solids Remember that each ion in an ionic solid is surrounded
by ions of opposite charge. The type of ions and the ratio of ions deter-
mine the structure of the lattice and the shape of the crystal. The net- ■ Figure 12.21 Homes, business, and

anions are shifted from their fixed positions. Repulsions between ions
of like charge cause the crystal to shatter.
Metallic solids Recall from Chapter 7 that metallic solids consist
of positive metal ions surrounded by a sea of mobile electrons. The
strength of the metallic bonds between cations and electrons varies
among metals and accounts for their wide range of physical properties.
For example, tin melts at 232°C, but nickel melts at 1455°C. The mobile
electrons make metals malleable—easily hammered into shapes—and
ductile—easily drawn into wires. When force is applied to a metal, the
electrons shift and thereby keep the metal ions bonded in their new
positions. Mobile electrons make metals good conductors of heat and
electricity. Businesses, equipment, and homes, such as the one shown
in Figure 12.21, use metal wiring to carry electricity.

the temperature of the ice. Instead, it disrupts the hydrogen bonds hold-
ing the water molecules together in the ice crystal. When molecules on
the surface of the ice absorb enough energy to break the hydrogen
bonds, they move apart and enter the liquid phase. As molecules are
removed, the ice cube shrinks. The process continues until all of the ice
melts. If a tray of ice cubes is left on a counter, where does the energy to
melt the cubes come from?

Real-World Chemistry the strength of the forces keeping the particles together in the solid.
Evaporation Because hydrogen bonds between water molecules are strong, a relatively
large amount of energy is required. However, the energy required to
melt ice is much less than the energy required to melt table salt because
the ionic bonds in sodium chloride are much stronger than the hydrogen
bonds in ice.
The temperature at which the liquid phase and the solid phase of
a given substance can coexist is a characteristic physical property of
many solids. The melting point of a crystalline solid is the temperature
at which the forces holding its crystal lattice together are broken and it
becomes a liquid. It is difficult to specify an exact melting point for an
amorphous solid because they tend to melt over a temperature range.
Vaporization While ice melts, the temperature of the ice-water mixture
remains constant. Once all of the ice has melted, additional energy
added to the system increases the kinetic energy of the liquid molecules.
The temperature of the system begins to rise. In liquid water, some mol-

Particles that escape from the liquid enter the gas phase. For a sub-
stance that is ordinarily a liquid at room temperature, the gas phase is
called a vapor. Vaporization is the process by which a liquid changes to
a gas or vapor. If the input of energy is gradual, the molecules tend to
escape from the surface of the liquid. Remember that molecules at the
surface are attracted to fewer other molecules than are molecules in the
interior. When vaporization occurs only at the surface of a liquid, the
process is called evaporation. Even at cold temperatures, some water
molecules have enough energy to evaporate. As the temperature rises,
more and more molecules enter the gas phase.

■ Figure 12.25 Evaporation occurs in both open and closed containers. In an open
container, water molecules that evaporate can escape from the container. Water vapor
collects above the liquid in a closed container.
Figure 12.25 compares evaporation in an open container with

evaporation in a closed container. If water is in an open container, all
the molecules will eventually evaporate. The time it takes for them to
evaporate depends on the amount of water and the available energy. In a
partially filled, closed container, the situation is different. Water vapor
collects above the liquid and exerts pressure on the surface of the liquid.
The pressure exerted by a vapor over a liquid is called vapor pressure.
Boiling The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals
the external or atmospheric pressure is called the boiling point. Use
Figure 12.26 to compare what happens to a liquid at temperatures
below its boiling point with what happens to a liquid at its boiling point.
At the boiling point, molecules throughout the liquid have enough energy
to vaporize. Bubbles of vapor collect below the surface of the liquid and
rise to the surface.

Sublimation Many substances have the ability to change
directly from the solid phase to the gas phase. Recall from
Chapter 3 that sublimation is the process by which a solid
changes directly to a gas without first becoming a liquid. Solid
iodine and solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) sublime at room tem-
perature. Dry ice, shown in Figure 12.27, keeps objects that
could be damaged by melting water cold during shipping.
Mothballs, which contain the compounds naphthalene or
p-dichlorobenzene, also sublime, as do solid air fresheners.

Freezing Suppose you place liquid water in an ice tray into
a freezer. As heat is removed from the water, the molecules lose
kinetic energy and their velocity decreases. The molecules are
less likely to flow past one another. When enough energy has
been removed, the hydrogen bonds between water molecules
keep the molecules fixed, or frozen, into set positions. Freezing
is the reverse of melting. The freezing point is the temperature
at which a liquid is converted into a crystalline solid.
Condensation When a water vapor molecule loses energy,
its velocity decreases. The water vapor molecule is more likely
to form a hydrogen bond with another water molecule. The for-
mation of a hydrogen bond releases thermal energy and indi-
cates a change from the vapor phase to the liquid phase. The
process by which a gas or a vapor becomes a liquid is called
condensation. Condensation is the reverse of vaporization.
Different factors contribute to condensation. However, con-
densation always involves the transfer of thermal energy. For

denses and dew forms on blades of grass.

or passes over cooler land or water. Their formations require
a second factor, microscopic particles suspended in the air
called condensation nuclei. These can be particles, such as soot
and dust, or aerosols, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide,
on which water vapor condenses. In some circumstances, warm
air can settle on top of cooler air, which is called a temperature
inversion. Figure 12.28 shows fog trapped in a mountain valley
by such an inversion.

Deposition When water vapor comes in contact with a cold window
in winter, it forms a solid deposit on the window called frost. Deposition
is the process by which a substance changes from a gas or vapor to a solid
without first becoming a liquid. Deposition is the reverse of sublimation.
Snowflakes form when water vapor high up in the atmosphere changes
directly into solid ice crystals. Energy is released as the crystals form.
Phase Diagrams
There are two variables that combine to control the phase of a substance:
temperature and pressure. These variables can have opposite effects on
a substance. For example, a temperature increase causes more liquid to
vaporize, but an increase in pressure causes more vapor to condense.
A phase diagram is a graph of pressure versus temperature that shows
in which phase a substance exists under different conditions of temper-
ature and pressure.
Figure 12.29 shows the phase diagram for water. You can use this
graph to predict what phase water will be in for any combination of
temperature and pressure. Note that there are three regions representing
the solid, liquid, and vapor phases of water and three curves that sepa-
rate the regions from one another. At points that fall along the curves,
two phases of water can coexist. The short, yellow curve shows the tem-
perature and pressure conditions under which solid water and water
vapor can coexist. The long, blue curve shows the temperature and pres-
sure conditions under which liquid water and water vapor can coexist.
The red curve shows the temperature and pressure conditions under
which solid water and liquid water can coexist.
Point A on the phase diagram of water—the point where the yellow,
blue, and red curves meet—is the triple point for water. The triple point
is the point on a phase diagram that represents the temperature and
pressure at which three phases of a substance can coexist. All six phase
changes can occur at the triple point: freezing and melting; evaporation
and condensation; sublimation and deposition. Point B is called the crit-
ical point. This point indicates the critical pressure and critical tempera-
ture above which water cannot exist as a liquid. If water vapor is at the
critical temperature, an increase in pressure will not change the vapor
into a liquid.

The phase diagram for each substance is different because the normal
boiling and freezing points of substances are different. However, each
diagram will supply the same type of data for the phases, including a triple
point. Of course, the range of temperatures chosen will vary to reflect
the physical properties of the substance.
Phase diagrams can provide important information for substances.
For example, the phase diagram for carbon dioxide in Figure 12.30
shows why carbon dioxide sublimes at normal conditions. Find 1.0 atm
on the carbon dioxide graph and follow the dashed line to the yellow
line. The graph shows that carbon dioxide changes from a solid to a gas
at 1 atm. If you extend the dashed line past the yellow line, the graph
shows that carbon dioxide does not liquefy as temperature increases.
It remains a gas.
The diagram on the right is a phase diagram for carbon. Notice that
the graph contains two allotropes of carbon in the solid region. Graphite
is the standard state of carbon at normal temperatures and pressures,
designated by a red dot. Diamond is more stable at higher temperatures
