Characterized by an extended three dimensional arrangement
Solids
In which the components generally locked into their positions
Molecules
Give the extended three dimensional arrangement
- Atoms
- Ions
- Molecules
What are the two categorized groups of solid?
- Crystalline Solids
- Amorphous Solids
The difference in properties of crystalline and amorphous solid arise from the ___________ or ___________ of long range order of arrangement of the particles in the solid
Presence or Absence
Form a regular repeating three-dimensional structure called ____________
Crystalline Solid
Arranged in fixed geometric patterns or lattices. The ordered arrangement of their units maximizes the space they occupy and are essentially incompressible
Crystalline Solid
Have a random orientation of particles and considered super-cooled liquids where molecules are arranged in a random manner
Amorphous Solid
Their characteristic properties include regular geometric shapes, and flat faces when cleaved or sheared
Crystalline Solid
The basic repeating structural unit of a crystalline solid is a ___________
Unit Cell
The structures of crystalline solids are built from repeating units called ____________
Crystal Lattices
