Study Notes
Crystal Structures
- Refers to the crystal lattice, a three-dimensional (3D) arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline material
- Solids with a rigid and long-range order are characterized by a repeating pattern of atoms, ions, or molecules
Impact on Properties
- The crystal structure defines the properties of many materials
- The arrangement of atoms or molecules in the solid state significantly affects the material's properties
Amorphous Solids
- Lack a well-defined arrangement and long-range molecular order
