CH 12 - Solids Flashcards
Atoms in a solid that are arranged in a certain way called?
Crystal
Metals, salts, and most materials here on Earth can be described as
Crystalline
The crystalline form of carbon
Diamonds
Solids that do not have their atoms arranged in a certain way called
Amorphous solids or non-crystalline
Amorphous solids are distributed
Randomly
Examples of amorphous solids
Rubber, glass and plastic
Three bonds between atoms
Ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds.
Can ionic bonds be separated?
No.
Can a Covalent bond be spectated?
Yes
The properties of a solid are dependent upon
The kind of bonds that exists between the atoms.
Density
The amount of mass per unit volume of a material.
Density formula
Density = mass / volume
Density depends on
The mass of the atoms and the spacing between the atoms.
Elasticity
An object that undergoes changes in shape and/or size.
A body’s elasticity is a measured by
how much it changes when force is exerted on it and how well it returns to its original shape.
