Chapter 18, Problem 1A
How does the arrangement of atoms differ in a crystalline and a noncrystalline substance?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The difference in the arrangement of atoms in crystalline and non crystalline substance.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The solids are classified into two types: crystalline and non-crystalline. These types are based on arrangement of atoms in it.
In crystalline solid, atoms are arranged in regular manner. In non-crystalline substances, atoms are not arranged in regular manner.
In crystalline substance, atoms are arranged in ordered, repeated pattern. In non-crystalline substance, atoms are not arranged in ordered manner.
