Question
Chapter 12, Problem 60GQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The overall structures of molecular, network and amorphous solids differ each other has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Molecular solid:
Molecular solids melt closer to 300 °C, which is can be either ductile or brittle. Many molecular solids have a large band gap between the valence band and conduction band.
Network solid:
Network solid has very high melting point, which are very hard.
Network solid doesn't conduct electricity, which are insoluble in water and organic solvents.
Amorphous solid:
In these solids particles are randomly arranged in three dimensions, does not have sharp melting points, which forms due to sudden cooling of liquid.
