Solid state

Hii everyone today I am going to share you something about solid state chemistry.in this topic I am going to explain some definition and derivations etc.


Crystalline solid : A crystalline solid is homogeneous solid in which the constitunet particles , atom ,ions or molecules are arranged in definite repeating pattern.(DRP)

Isomorphous :  Two or more substance having the same crystal structure are called isomorphous.

Example; NaF and Mgo

Polymorphous : A singel substance that crysatallise in two or more forms uder different condition.

Example ; NaCl and KCl

Anisotropy:  change in physical value when measured in different directions is called anisotropy.

Example ; wood and it's composites

Amorphous solid : do not have well developed order crystalline structure.

Example ; Tar ,glass, plastic ,rubber .

     Classification of crystalline solid



Unit cell :  smallest repeating structural unit .

Lattice point : any point at intersection of line is lattice point .

Sapce lattice ; collection of all the points in the crystal having the same environment is called sapce lattice.

Note ; lattice point can be arranged in maximum fourteen type .the arrangements is called Bravais lattice

Coordination number ; constituent particles of the crystal lattice is the number of particles surrounded a single particle in the crystal lattice.


    Seven type of crystalline lattice



Fourteen types of Bravais lattice 


               Packing in solid

1) close packing in one dimensions : in one dimensions the Coordination number is 2.



2) close packing in two dimensions; in two dimensions there is two type of arrangement are possible
AAAA type and ABABAB type

In AAAA type structure are generated is Square close packing and coordination number is 4 .



In ABABAB types structure are generated is hexagonal close packing and coordination number is 6.

3) close packing in three dimensions ; in three dimensions there is three type of arrangement are possible

l) AAAA type in 3-D ; there is formation of cubic structure and coordination number is 6 .


ll) ABABAB types in 3-D ; there is formation of hexagonal close packed (HCP) structure in which the Coordination number is 12.

lll) ABCABC types in 3-D : there is formation of  cubic close packed (CCP) structure and coordination number is 12.
