CHAPTER 16 SOLIDS
All crystals of the same substance have the same angles between
Faces (Steno's law)
Extensive properties (amount of matter present-ex mass, length,
volume) of crystals of the same substance may vary
Intensive properties (do not depend on matter present-ex
density, malleability, ductility, conductivity) remains the same
16-1 crystals
A study of the solid state is a study of crystals
A crystal is a rigid body in which the particles are arranged
A repeating pattern
16-2 unit cells
The unit cell is the simplest repeating unit in a crystal
The repetition of the unit cell in a crystal forms an imaginary
Lattice of particles called a space lattice
16-3 compound unit cells
Elements from group 1 combine with elements from group 17 to
form simple salts with the face centered cubic lattice structure
16-4 Closest Packing
Cubic closest packing and face-centered cubic are the same
Arrangement
Pure metallic elements generally form crystals in a type of
Closest-packing arrangement
16-5 elementary crystals
Molecular substances form crystals in which the molecules are
held together by weak Van Der Waal forces and have low melting points
16-6 network crystals
A macromolecule, or network crystal, consists of a single molecule
with all component atoms bonded in a network fashion/ have high
melting points
16-7 Isomorphism and Polymorphism
Crystals of different solids with the same structure and shape are
isomorphous
A polymorphous substance has 2 or more crystalline shapes
16-8 crystal defects
Crystal defects are imperfections in the regular repetition of
The unit cell arrangement. Defects can be a result of
Displaced or missing particles. Other defects are edge
Dislocations and screw dislocations
16-9 semiconductors
When a crystal is doped, impurities are added deliberately
Doping is important in the production of transistors
Creates spots with extra e- or holes where e- may go
16-10 hydrated crystals
Hydrated ions are chemically bonded to water molecules
Anhydrous means without water
Hygroscopic substances attract water molecules from the air
Deliquescent substances take up enough water from the air to form
A liquid solution
16-11 Liquid crystals
A crystalline solid is highly ordered
A liquid is disordered in all three dimensions
Solids that lose their crystalline order in only 1 or 2
dimensions at the melting point form liquid crystals
Smectic substances retain 2 dimensional order
Nematic substances retain order in only one dimension
16-12 amorphous material
An amorphous material appears solid but has a disordered
Arrangement of its particles
Crystals possess long-range order, while liquids possess short
Range order
Crystals are said to undergo cleavage when they break, glasses
Are said to fracture
Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow
Viscosity decreases as temperature increases
