Solid state quivck revision

  Chapter 1: Solid State – Ultra Quick Revision 1.1 Introduction Strong interparticle forces of attraction . Fixed shape and fixed volume . Very small change with temperature and pressure. Particles may be atoms, ions or molecules . 1.2 Types of Solids Crystalline Solids Regular, repeating arrangement. Long-range order. Sharp melting point. Anisotropic (properties differ with direction). Examples: Ice, NaCl, Diamond, Graphite, Gold, Copper. Amorphous Solids Random arrangement. Short-range order. No sharp melting point. Isotropic (same properties in every direction). Examples: Glass, Plastic, Rubber, Tar. Crystalline vs Amorphous Crystalline Amorphous Regular arrangement Random arrangement Long-range order Short-range order Sharp melting point No sharp melting point Anisotropic Isotropic 1.2.3 Isomorphism, Polymorphism & Allotropy Isomorphism Different substances → Same crystal structure. Same atomi...

  Chapter 1 – Solid State Class 11 Chemistry | Maharashtra State Board 1.1 Introduction In the solid state, the particles are held together by strong interparticle forces of attraction. Because of these strong forces, solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. When temperature or pressure changes, the shape and volume of a solid change only slightly. The smallest particles present in solids may be atoms, ions or molecules. In this chapter, all these smallest particles are called constituent particles or simply particles . Key Points Strong attraction exists between the particles of a solid. Solids have a fixed shape. Solids have a fixed volume. Changes in temperature and pressure produce only small changes in solids. The particles of solids may be atoms, ions or molecules. 1.2 Types of Solids Solids are divided into two main types. Type of Solid Description Crystalline Solid Particles are arranged in ...
