11b Flashcards
the temperature at which a substance changes between the solid and liquid states is called
melting point
the direct change in state from the solid to the gaseous state
sublimation
__occurs when a substance changes directly from a gas to a solid
deposition
what are the 7 basic crystals?
1- cubic 2- tetragonal 3- rhombohedral 4- triclinic 5- monoclinic 6- hexagonal 7- orthorhombic
a __ crystal not only has particles at each of the corners, but it also has one in the center (body) of the crystal
body-centered
elements or compounds that can form more than one type of crystal lattice
polymorphous
the __ of a crystal is the energy released when gaseous particles from crystals
lattice energy
A solid in which the particles occur in random positions with no orderly pattern. Examples include asphalt and paraffin.
amorphous solid
A liquid cooled so fast that its particles may not have had time to form a preferred crystalline pattern. Therefore, the molecules are locked in random positions. It is a type of amorphous solid.
supercooled liquid
An extensive three-dimensional structure that represents the regular pattern of atoms or ions
crystal lattice
The basic building block for any type of crystal; the section of a crystal lattice that contains one formula unit of the compound or one repeating segment of the overall lattice structure.
unit cell
A state of matter in which the particles have relatively little energy, cannot overcome the attractive forces, and remain in fixed positions with set distances between them. It has a fixed volume and is relatively incompressible.
solid
One of two or more forms of a polymorphous element that exists in the same physical state.
allotropes
