Study Notes
General Chemistry 2 - Solids
- Solids are particles tightly packed in a fixed, orderly arrangement
- Particles in solids move back and forth at a fixed position
- Solids are rigid
Properties of Solids
- Hardness: Resistance of a solid to deformation or scratching
- Malleability: Ability of a solid material to withstand deformation under compressive stress
- Ductility: Ability of a material to undergo significant plastic deformation before rupture or breaking
- Brittleness: Solid's tendency to fracture instead of deforming
- Elasticity: Ability of a material to return to its original shape and size after deformation
Amorphous Solids
- Consist of particles lacking a definite order
- Lack sharp melting points
- Examples include glass, rubber, plastic
Crystalline Solids
- Made up of highly ordered particles with a well-defined pattern
- Have flat surfaces and sharp edges
- Smallest repeating pattern is called a unit cell
- A repeating unit of atoms and molecules in a crystalline structure
- Examples: Ionic, molecular, covalent-network, and metallic solids
Types of Unit Cells
- Primitive unit cell: Lattice points located at the corners of the unit cell
- Body-centered unit cell: One particle at the center of the lattice and a particle in each of the corners of the unit cell
- Face-centered unit cell: One particle on each of the faces of the lattice, and one particle in each corner
- End-centered unit cell: One particle on two opposite faces, and one particle in each of the corners
Types of Crystals
- Ionic Solids: Made of positive and negative ions held together by electrostatic attractions. Examples: baking soda, table salt, calcium chloride, potassium nitrate.
- Molecular Solids: Made up of atoms or molecules held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. Examples: caffeine, table sugar, dry ice, ice, and paraffin wax.
- Covalent-network Solids: Atoms connected by covalent bonds. Examples: diamond, graphite, quartz, and silicon carbide.
- Metallic Solids: Atoms held together by metallic bonds. Examples: steel, aluminum, gold, and copper
X-ray Diffraction
- Process of diffracting or scattering X-rays struck on a crystal sample
