Solids with a disordered, irregular arrangement of particles. They lack a long-range order but may have short-range order.

Solids with ordered and repeating three-dimensional arrangement of constituent particles extending throughout the entire structure. They have a long-range order.

Having the same crystal structure. They may contain different elements but have the same atomic ratios.

Existing in two or more different crystal structures, caused by different conditions like temperature or pressure.

A single crystal has a uniform crystal structure throughout.

A solid made of many small crystals (crystallites) randomly oriented.

A single piece of a polycrystalline solid with a uniform crystal structure.

A crystalline solid with a clearly defined shape. It's formed naturally.

Solids where the constituent particles are atoms or molecules held together by weak intermolecular forces.

Solids composed of metal atoms held together by a "sea" of delocalized electrons.

The ability of a material to be shaped or deformed without breaking.

The ability of a material to be drawn into a wire.

The ability of a material to conduct heat and electricity.

Solids where the constituent particles are ions held together by electrostatic forces.

The ability of a material to resist the flow of electricity.

The increase in electrical conductivity of a material as its temperature increases.

A state of matter characterized by strong interparticle forces of attraction, leading to a definite shape and volume. Solids are generally incompressible and have a high density. Their constituent particles are tightly packed and vibrate about fixed positions.

The force that attracts particles in a solid. These forces can be ionic, covalent, metallic or Van der Waals forces, depending on the nature of the solid.

The tendency of a solid to resist compression. Solids have very low compressibility, meaning their volume changes only slightly when pressure is applied.

The mass per unit volume of a solid. Solids have relatively high densities compared to liquids and gases.

The constituent particles of a solid, such as atoms, ions, or molecules, are tightly packed and vibrate about fixed positions. They do not have the freedom to move around like particles in liquids or gases.

The ability of a solid to change shape under pressure. Solids are generally rigid and have a high modulus of elasticity. They tend to maintain their shape even when forces are applied.

The ability of a solid to return to its original shape after being deformed. Solids tend to have high elasticity, which means they can regain their original shape after an applied force is removed.

In a body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice, the atoms are arranged in a cubic structure with an additional atom located at the center of the cube.

The diagonal of a cube in a BCC lattice passes through the center atom and two corner atoms, creating a line that can be used to determine the atom's radius.

The Pythagorean theorem helps relate the side length of the cube (a) to the diagonal of the cube (d) and the radius of the atom (r), allowing us to calculate the radius of the atom in a BCC lattice.

In a BCC lattice, the volume occupied by the atoms is calculated by considering the number of atoms in the unit cell and the volume of each atom (sphere).

Packing efficiency describes the percentage of space within a unit cell that is occupied by atoms.

The packing efficiency of a BCC lattice is calculated by dividing the total volume occupied by the atoms by the volume of the entire unit cell and multiplying by 100%.

The packing efficiency of a BCC lattice is approximately 68%.

The packing efficiency of a BCC lattice is lower than that of a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice.

A defect in a crystal structure where a lattice site is missing an atom.

The introduction of an impurity ion with a different oxidation state than the host ion to create vacancies in a crystal.

A type of defect in crystals where the ratio of atoms or ions is not according to the chemical formula.

A type of nonstoichiometric defect where some metal ions are missing from their lattice sites.

In metal deficiency defects, the missing metal ions are compensated for by metal ions with a higher oxidation state to maintain electrical neutrality.

In metal deficiency defects, the missing metal ions create vacancies, but these vacancies are often occupied by ions of the same metal with a higher oxidation state.

Occurs when a metal compound has a deficiency in its metal atoms, leading to vacancies in the crystal lattice.

This type of compound shows variable oxidation states, because it has metal deficiency defects.
