Topics

    • Atomic Bonding
    • Interaction Potential
    • States of Matter
    • Dipole

Learning Goals

    • Describe a molecular model for solids, liquids, and gases.
    • Extend this model to phase changes.
    • Describe how heating or cooling changes the behavior of the molecules.
    • Describe how changing the volume can affect temperature, pressure, and state.
    • Relate a pressure-temperature diagram to the behavior of molecules.
    • Interpret graphs of interatomic potential.
    • Describe how forces on atoms relate to the interaction potential.
    • Describe the physical meaning of the parameters in the Lennard-Jones potential, and how this relates to the molecule behavior.
