What are crystalline and amorphous solids?

Answer 1

Crystalline solids are usually molecules or ionic structures that create a lattice. One such example of an ionic lattice is salt (NaCl) where the positive sodium ions are attracted to the negative chloride ions. An example of a polar molecular lattice is glucose. One part of the molecule has a greater electronegativity than the rest, and bonds adhering to that pattern to other molecules on their less electronegative portions. Iodine is an example of a molecular lattice. It is bound by van der Waals forces.

Answer 2

Crystalline solids have a highly ordered arrangement of particles in a repetitive pattern, resulting in distinct geometric shapes and sharp melting points. Amorphous solids have a random arrangement of particles with no long-range order, leading to a lack of well-defined shapes and gradual softening upon heating.

Answer 3

Liquid crystals (LCs) are substances that exhibit a phase of matter that has properties between those of a conventional liquid and those of a solid crystal. For instance, an LC may flow like a liquid, but its molecules may be oriented in a crystal-like way.

For instance, an LC may flow like a liquid, but its molecules may be oriented in a crystal-like way. basically its like glass. glass is not actually a solid. it is always in motion, but we cant see it because it moves so slow. if you ever go to a very old house, you will notice that the glass at the bottom of the window is much thincker, and your vision may seem blury from its sliding due to gravity.

Answer 4

A crystal solid's atoms/ions/molecules are formed together in a regular, repeating pattern. The other option, as opposed to crystals, would be amorphous. Amorphous solids don't have a pattern to their structure.

Answer 5

In certain crystalline solids, the crystals are very fine.These cannot b seen by the naked eyes.Such solids gives an impression of being amarphous.Such fine crystalline solids,which appear as amarphous,are termed as poly crystalline solids..

Eg. Metal powders

Answer 6

These are solids where enough of the particles are arranged in regular patterns for that order to be reflected in the shape of the visible grains. Table sugar and salt are obvious examples. If the particles are arranged very randomly, we say the solid is amorphous. An example of this would be soot.

Answer 7

Salt, diamonds, most metals.

Any solid who's atoms (or molecules) form a regular structure (or [3d] pattern)

Answer 8

Crystalline Solids are when the particles form a regular repeating pattern. Amorphous solids have particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern.

Answer 9

Soilds with a repeating atomic

Answer 10

Solids with a repeating atomic pattern
