Solids Flashcards
Viscosity of solids
Infinite
Amorphous solids has _____ MP/BP
Long range
Another name for amorphous solids
Supercooled liquids
Examples of amorphous solids
Plastic, wood, glass, rubber, gemstone, concrete, polymer
Crystalline solids have particles arranged
In 3D
Crystalline solids cleavage plane
Proper (anisotropic)
Crystalline solids other name
True solids
Crystalline solids examples
NaCl, KI, diamond, graphite, ice, dry ice, CaCO3, MgO, Fe, Cu, K, Mg, Sr
How many elements of symmetry
23
Cubical solids
NaCl, diamond, MgO, NaF
Hexagonal solids
Graphite, Water (ice), ZnO, CdS
Orthorhombic solids
KNO3, AgNO3
Isomorphs are
Solids that have the same structure (cubical etc)
(So NaCl and diamonds are isomorphs)
Polymorph is
One solid that has many structures
(KNO3 and AgNO3 can be orthorhombic and rhombahedral)
(CaCO3 can be trigonal and orthorhombic)
Polymorphs have
Similar chemical properties but different physical properties
Isomorphs have
Same structure, same ratio of combined elements
Different physical and chemical structures
Allotrophy is
When one element can exist as different forms
(C = diamond / graphite)
(S = Sd / Sp)
(Sn = Sn white / Sn grey)
Allotrophy has
Same chemical properties
Different physical properties
Transition temp is
Temp at which 2 crystalline forms can coexist
Transition temp of Sn grey / Sn white
13.2º
Transition temp of Sa / Sp
95.5º
Transition temp of KNO3 (orhtorhombic) / KNO3 (rhombohedral)
128.6º
Growth of crystals (How to get large size)
Slow growth = Large size
If vapor used = Large
Impurities in crystalline
Pure NaCl = cubical
Small impurities = Flat crystals
5-10% urea = needle shaped crystals
Examples of molecular solids are
CO2 (solid) (dry ice) / sugar crystals / naphthalene / urea / Cl2 / O2 (s) / N2 (s) / Br2 (s)
Simple cube coordination number
6
Body centered cube coordination number
8
Face centered cube coordinate number
12
Low temperature = ______ Stable
