(a)
Interpretation: The diagrams analogous to crystalline solids and amorphous solids are to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The solids can be classified into two forms on the basis of the arrangement of their constituent particles. These forms of solid are,
- Crystalline solids
- Amorphous solids
In crystalline solids the constituent particles are arranged in an organized manner in their given space and the crystals of crystalline solids have definite geometry.
On other hand in amorphous solids the constituent particles are arranged in an unorganized manner that is all the constituent particles are arranged randomly in the space provided to them and do not have definite geometry.
To determine: The drawing given in the stated figure is to be classified as being analogous to a crystalline solid or an amorphous solid.

Answer to Problem 12.1VP
Solution
The given diagramof constituent particlesis analogous to a crystalline solid.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
The given figure is,
Figure 1
In the given figure, the constituent particles are arranged in an organized specific manner in the space provided to them and have definite geometry.
Therefore, the given diagram of constituent particles is analogous to a crystalline solid.
(b)
To determine: The drawing given in the stated figure is to be classified as being analogous to a crystalline solid or an amorphous solid.
