Chapter 11, Problem 11.57QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

  • A Description for Amorphous solid has to be given.
  • The differences between crystalline and amorphous solid have to be outlined.

Concept Introduction:

  • Solids constitute the major part of the matter in the universe. Beneath the earth as well as above the sky in our Universe, and in our everyday life, solids can be found. Solids do have such a profound significance since the beginning of the Universe and human evolution.
  • A solid is anything that is firm and stable in shape. Physics and Chemistry do provide clear cut explanation for the structure of solids. The firm and dense nature of solids is due to the strong intermolecular forces between their components which are nothing but molecules or ions.
  • On the basis of the arrangement of the components of a solid, there are two distinct types of solids viz., crystalline solids and amorphous solids. These two types differ in the arrangement of their respective components and so in their properties.
  • Crystalline solids have their own sub-classification. The types of solids can be summarized as follows –
