Solids Flashcards
- high melting point
- does not conduct electricity in solid state but in liquid can
Ionic Solids
relation of no. of charges to melting point and lattice energy
directly proportional
relation of radius to lattice energy
inversely proportional
low melting points, covalent, crystalline and soft
Molecular Solids
very low melting points, have 3 types, ductile and crystalline
Atomic Solids
atoms are arranged in an orderly way
Crystalline
Class of solid that is easy to break, does so in straight lines
Crystalline
Crystalline responds differently to forces, depending on the direction of impact. Different direction, different impact or intensity. What is this called?
Anisotropic
Brittle class of solid
Crystalline
“no shape” particles have no orderly pattern. Melts gradually
Amorphous
Amorphous Solids respond the same to forces from every direction. What is this called?
Isotropic
When can Amorphous Solids be turned into Crystalline?
by slow cooling their melts
