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.

- 2arrow_forward3arrow_forwardImagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.arrow_forward
