Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1CQ
To determine
The type of material if the atoms are in irregular arrangements.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1CQ
If the atoms are in irregular arrangements, the material is amorphous.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A particle or an atom existing in the universe as a smallest unit is called as an atom. A material is made up of such atoms. The arrangement of such atoms may regular or irregular in shape.
In case of amorphous materials the atoms are arranged randomly and there is no order of atoms contained. Example of an amorphous material is silicon.
If the atoms are in irregular arrangements, then it is called as an amorphous material.
Conclusion:
Thus, the complete statement is, “If the atoms are in irregular arrangements, the material is amorphous.”

The part failed (yielded) during operation and needs to be replaced with a component with better properties. You are told that two other iron strips had failed at yield stresses of 110 and 120 MPa, with grain sizes of 30 microns and 25 microns respectively. The current strip has a grain size of 20 microns. The diameter of the rod is 1 mm and the load applied is 100 N. What is the yield stress of the new part C and would you recommend it for operation? Select one: Oa. 133.5 MPa, yes O b. OC.
