Lesson 1.3 Types & Properties of Solids
3 TYPES AND PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS - In every part of the lattice, there is a unit cell (just a
portion of the lattice).
- Solid can be classified as crystalline or amorphous - Unit cell is the basic unit of a crystal lattice.
based on the arrangement of their particles
Amorphous Solids
- Such as glass, which are formed rather rapidly that
constituent particles do not have time to align or
organize into a more definite lattice.
Type of Crystalline Solids
- No arrangement of molecules; distorted Atomic Solids
- Substances that have atoms at the lattice point.
- Single atom.
- Pure.
Crystalline Solids
- Has a well- defined crystal lattice. No molecular and ionic bond
- Organized and proper arrangement of molecules. Only a simple atom in a simple structure
No polarity
✔ Ruby
Unit Cell
Network Solid
- Smallest repeating pattern of the lattice extends in all
directions for the structure. - Atoms bond with strong directional covalent bonds
that lead to giant molecule.
- On top of one another and becomes larger.
Group 8 Solids
- Noble gas elements are attracted by London
dispersion force. In every molecule, there is a two designated bonding
Molecule by molecule
Ionic Solids
- Have ions at the points of the lattice.
- A polar bond.
- Has polarity.
✔ NaCl
Has polarity
Molecular Solids
- Have discrete covalently bonded molecules at lattice
points.
✔ Water
✔ Carbon Dioxide
✔ Ice
