Study Notes
- Solid state is characterized by strong interparticle forces of attraction.
- Solids have definite shape and volume.
- The smallest constituent particles of solids are atoms, ions, or molecules.
- There are two types of solids: crystalline and amorphous.
- Crystalline solids have regularity and periodicity in the arrangement of constituent particles.
- Crystalline solids have sharp melting points.
- All crystalline substances except those having cubic structure are anisotropic.
- Ice, salts, metals, diamond, graphite, and ceramics are examples of crystalline solids.
- Amorphous solids lack a regular arrangement of particles.
- Glass, rubber, and plastics are examples of amorphous solids.
