What is the difference between amorphous and crystalline solids in terms of particle arrangement?
What is the difference between amorphous and crystalline solids in terms of particle arrangement?
In amorphous solids, particles are arranged randomly, while in crystalline solids, entities are arranged in a regular pattern.
How is supersaturation of solute in a solution achieved for the crystallization process?
How is supersaturation of solute in a solution achieved for the crystallization process?
Supersaturation of a solution can be achieved by cooling, evaporation, or a chemical reaction that changes the nature of the solute.
What is the process that leads to crystal growth in the context of crystallization?
What is the process that leads to crystal growth in the context of crystallization?
