Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 20E
Amorphous silica, SiO2, has a density of about 2.2g\cm3, whereas the density of crystalline quartz, another form of SiO2, is 2.65 g\cm3. Which of the following statements is the best explanation for the difference in density?
- Amorphous silica is a network-covalent solid, but quartz is metallic.
- Amorphous silica crystallizes in a primitive cubic lattice.
- Quartz is harder than amorphous silica.
- Quartz must have a larger unit cell than amorphous silica
- The atoms in amorphous silica do not pack as efficiency in three dimensions as compared to the atoms in quartz.
