Study Notes
The Solid Phase
- Solids have a fixed shape and are nearly incompressible compared to gases and liquids.
- Strong intermolecular forces result in low kinetic energy in solids, leading to minimal translational motion.
- Atoms in solids vibrate in fixed positions around an equilibrium point.
- Key characteristics include shape, particle size, and melting point.
Crystalline Solids
- Crystalline solids form through the precipitation of compounds from solutions into an ordered array.
- Formation conditions include the type of solvent, temperature, pressure, and possible salt complexes.
- Types of crystalline solids:
- Cubic: Example - Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
- Tetragonal: Example - Urea
- Orthorhombic: Example - Ritonavir form II
- Rhombohedral: Example - Iodine
- Hexagonal: Example - Iodoform
- Monoclinic: Example - Sucrose
- Triclinic: Example - Boric Acid
Amorphous Solids
- Amorphous solids lack long-range order, thus do not form a crystalline lattice.
- These materials are often referred to as glasses or supercooled liquids due to their random molecular arrangement.
- Formed by rapid cooling of liquids, leading to a random molecular arrangement.
- Amorphous solids can flow under sufficient pressure, resembling liquid behavior.
Polymorphism
- Polymorphism involves substances that are chemically identical but exist in multiple crystal forms.
- Significant in the pharmaceutical industry, affecting factors such as regulatory approval, dissolution rate, solubility, bioavailability, and manufacturability of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).
