Chapter 12, Problem 12.1VP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The diagrams analogous to crystalline solids and amorphous solids are to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The solids can be classified into two forms on the basis of the arrangement of their constituent particles. These forms of solid are,

  • Crystalline solids
  • Amorphous solids

In crystalline solids the constituent particles are arranged in an organized manner in their given space and the crystals of crystalline solids have definite geometry.

On other hand in amorphous solids the constituent particles are arranged in an unorganized manner that is all the constituent particles are arranged randomly in the space provided to them and do not have definite geometry.

To determine: The drawing given in the stated figure is to be classified as being analogous to a crystalline solid or an amorphous solid.
