crystalline solids

Solids with a definite geometric pattern. Examples: Iron, copper, silver, sulphur etc. are some elements which form crystalline solids. Potassium chloride, sodium nitrate etc are some of the compounds, which are crystalline..

The substances whose constituents are arranged in definite orderly arrangements are called crystalline solids. Many naturally occurring solid substances occur in the crystalline form. Some common examples of crystalline solids are sodium ..

Crystalline substances have a definite rigid shape. The shape and size of crystals (even of the same materials) differs depending upon the conditions under which they are grown. Crystals of a given substance are bound by plane surfaces called faces. The angle between any two faces i..

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 solids Crystalline..

Classification of Solids - The above properties suggest that the properties of the solids not only depend upon the nature of the constituents, but also on their arrangements. Based on their structural features solids can be classified into three categories: Crysta..
