Study Notes
Key Concepts of Pressure and Solids
- Pressure is defined as the measure of force distributed over an area, often expressed in units such as Pascals (Pa).
- When the volume of a gas is decreased while keeping the temperature constant, the pressure increases due to the principles of Boyle's Law.
- In scenarios where the volume of a gas decreases or the amount of gas increases in a fixed volume, pressure increases.
- If pressure on a liquid is increased, its boiling point and density change, while the liquid's volume remains relatively constant due to incompressibility.
Properties of Solids
- Crystalline solids have particles that are closely packed together in a regular, ordered pattern, giving them a well-defined geometric structure.
- Amorphous solids lack long-range order and do not have a regular pattern, resulting in different properties compared to crystalline solids.
- The main difference between crystalline and amorphous solids lies in their melting points; crystalline solids have a specific melting point while amorphous solids do not.
- Under stress, crystalline solids exhibit elastic behavior, returning to their original shape, whereas amorphous solids may deform permanently.
- Electrical conductivity varies; crystalline solids can have distinct conductivity depending on the arrangement of particles, while amorphous solids generally conduct electricity poorly due to their disordered structure.
