TYPES OF SOLIDS AND THEIR PROPERTIES
- Solids can be categorized as crystalline and amorphous. The difference in properties of these two groups of solid arises from the presence or absence of long range order of arrangement of the particles in the solid.
Properties |
Crystalline Solid |
Amorphous solid |
Arrangement of particles |
Arranged in fixed geometric pattern or lattices. |
Have random orientation of particles |
Behavior when heated |
Attractive forces are broken by same amount of energy, thus, becomes liquid at a specific temperature. |
Softens when gradually heated, they tend to melt over a wide range of temperature. |
FACTS:
- More than 90% of naturally occurring and artificially prepared solids are crystalline.
- The repetition of structural units of substance over long atomic distances is referred to as long-range order.
- The repeating units of crystalline solids are called lattices.
- X-ray diffraction is a technique used to determine the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, wherein atoms cause a beams of incident X-rays to diffract into many specific directions.
