Document Summary

Chapter 12 intermolecular forces: liquids, solids, and phase changes. Intermolecular forces have different effects on a molecule at the surface than on one in the interior. An interior molecule is attracted by others on all sides. A surface molecule is only attracted by others below and to the sides, so it experiences a net attraction downward. The only way to increase the surface area is for molecules to move up by breaking attractions in the interior, which requires energy. Surface tension energy required to increase the surface area and has units of. The stronger the forces b/w particles, the more energy it takes to increase the surface area, so the greater the surface tension. Water has a high surface tension b/c its molecules form multiple h bonds. Surfactants - (soaps, petroleum recovery agents, fat emulsifiers) decrease the surface tension of water by congregating t the surface and disrupting h bonds.
