    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.
