Question
Chapter 12.4, Problem 1PPA
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason that the given molecule exhibits liquid crystal properties is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Liquid crystals act like both conventional liquids and solid crystals.
Liquid crystals have the ability to flow and take the shape of the container like liquids and also havea regulararrangement of particles in the lattice like solids.
Liquid crystals scatter light.
Some substances exhibit liquid crystal behavior when they are melted from solids.
As the temperature increases, the solid liquifies but retains some order in one or two dimensions.
