1. Intermolecular Forces
o Weak forces of attraction between molecules.
o Affect physical properties like boiling and melting points.
o Key Focus: Forces holding solids and liquids together, and the role of polarity.
2. States of Matter
o Kinetic Molecular Theory explains transitions (solid → liquid → gas).
o Increase in temperature or energy can cause phase changes.
3. Properties of Liquids
o Viscosity measures a liquid's resistance to flow.
o Surface tension and vapor pressure are other important properties.
4. Melting Point
o The temperature remains constant during phase transitions.
5. Concentration of Solutions
o % by mass formula
6. Phase Changes
o Sublimation: Direct transition from solid to gas.
7. Types of Intermolecular Forces
o Ranked by strength:
▪ London Dispersion (Weakest)
▪ Dipole-Dipole
▪ Hydrogen Bonding (Strongest)
▪ Ion-Dipole
8. Hydrogen Bonding
o Present in molecules like H₂O and CH₃OH.
9. Solid Types
o Amorphous solids lack a definite structure.
o Examples: Glass, rubber.
10.Electrical Conductivity in Solutions
o Ionic compounds like KCl conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
11.Triple Point
o All three phases (solid, liquid, gas) coexist.
12.Network Solids
o Covalently bonded atoms in a network. Example: Diamond.
13.Energy and Phase Changes
o Particles gain energy to transition from solid to liquid.
14.Water Properties
o Exhibits hydrogen bonding.
o Solid phase (ice) is less dense than liquid.
15.Unique Behavior of Water
o Ice floats because it’s less dense than liquid water.
