Study Notes

Types of Solids

  • Polycrystalline solids consist of many small crystals or grains.
  • Crystalline solids feature a regular, periodically repeated structure of atoms.
  • A crystalline solid can be described as an ordered array of atoms bound by electric forces, exhibiting strong interatomic interactions.
  • The term "long-range order" refers to the arrangement of atoms in a crystal that extends throughout the entire sample.

Characteristics of Different Solids

  • Amorphous solids are characterized by atoms that lack long-range order, leading to a more random arrangement.
  • Atomic structure in crystalline solids provides distinct properties like fixed melting points and uniformity, unlike amorphous solids which may have variable properties.
