arrangement of molecules in a solid

The molecules in a solid are very closely packed. The inter-molecular force of attraction is very strong in solids. Hence solids have a definite size and shape. Molecules of a solid vibrate about their mean position. Molecular structu..

The Solid State - Solids are substances having definite volume and definite shape. In terms of kinetic molecular model, in solids there is a regular order in the arrangement of the constituting particles (atoms, molecules or ions) i.e. the particles..

In polyatomic molecules the dipole moment not only depends upon the individual dipole moments of the bonds but also on the spatial arrangement of the various bonds in the molecule. In such molecules the dipole moment of the molecule is the vector s..

Solid Solution - Solid solutions are formed by mixing two solid components. Alloys (mixtures of metals) are the examples of solid solutions. Solid solutions can be classified under two types: a) Substitutional solid solutions b) Interstiti..

Solids have definite shape and volume because the average distance between the molecules or atoms remain constant and do not change with time. The arrangement of molecules inside a solid differ from one to anothe..

Solids have definite shape and volume because the average distance between the molecules or atoms remain constant and do not change with time. The arrangement of molecules inside a solid differ from one to another. This results in two types of ..

Bonding in Solid State (Additional) - Solids are closely packed condensed states, with their constituent particles (atoms, ions or molecules) held together by strong physical or chemical bonds. These particles show a definite regular arrangement in a long ran..

In a molecule having three bond pairs of electrons around its central atom, the electron pairs form an equilateral triangular arrangement around the central atom. These molecules have trigonal planar (or triangularplanar) shape and the three bond pairs are at 120C wit..

Five bond pairs orient themselves around the central atom in a trigonal bipyramidal way. A molecule having five bond pairs around its central atom has a triangular bipyramidal shape. Three bond pairs are arranged in an equatorial triangular plane and are oriented at an angle of..
