Module 2: Solids Flashcards
(59 cards)
have definite shape and volume due to the compact arrangement of their particles
Solid
have a regular, highly ordered arrangement
Crystalline Solid
three dimensional pattern formed by the points representing the location of these particles
Space Lattice
gradually soften once they are heated at a wide range of temperature
Amorphous Solid
basic unit of crystal
Space Lattice
smallest unit MIT of lattice that are stacked repeatedly to resemble the whole
Unit Cell
number of particles present in a unit cell is the number of the nearest neighboring particles
Coordination Number
coordination number identifies the physical properties such as _____ & ______
Density & Conductivity
seven crystals systems
cubic, tetragonal, othorhombic, monoclinic, triclinic, rhombohedral (trigonal), hexagonal
substances that crystallize in several arrangement
Polymorphous
substance that crystallize in the same lattice with the same atomic arrangement
Isomorphous
crystals that are the same in two dimensions but different in the third
can either be hexagonal or cubic-close packed
Polytypes
give an ABCABC pattern of stacking
Cubic Closed-Packed
gives an ABAB patterns oflayers resembling a hexagonal unit
Hexagonal Close-Packed
tetrahedral hole
0.225r
octahedral hole
0.414r
determines the crystal structure of a solid
provides information on bond lengths and angles
X-ray Diffraction
X-ray Crystallography
was pioneered by William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg
ions occupy the unit cell
have high melting points ranging from 673-3273
hard, brittle, and poor conductors of heat and electricity
Ionic Solid
the unit cell is made up of molecules or atoms
have low melting point, ranging from 1-673k
poor conductor of heat and electricity
Molecular Solid
coordination number of ionic and molecular solid
6
giant molecules which contain a very large number of atoms
high melting point, ranging from 1437-4273K
Network/Covalent Solid
diamonds are _____ (different physical forms of the same element in the same physical state)
Allotropes
bound by metallic bonding, a type of metal atoms “swim” in a sea of electrons
coordination number is 8 or 12
excellent conductors of heat, possess malleability, ductility, lusterm and hardness
melting point is from 234 to 3673K
Metallic Solid
