Presentation Transcript

  1. Solids ChemistryMrs. Coyle

  2. Solids Atoms vibrate about fixed positions.

  3. Properties of Solids • Depend on their arrangement of their atoms.

  4. Melting Points • Temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid. • Vibrations of particles are strong enough to overcome the attraction that holds them in fixed locations. • Melting point is same as freezing points.

  5. Melting Points of Ionic and Molecular Solids • Ionic Solids have high melting points because strong forces are holding the particles together. • Molecular Solids have lower melting points. • Not all solids melt (ex. Wood, cane sugar, some plastics)

  6. Most Solids are Crystalline • Unit cell : the smallest group of particles that retains the shape of the crystal. • Crystal Lattice: a repeating array of unit cells.

  7. Simple Cubic,Body-Centered and Face-Centered

  8. Allotropes • Two or more different molecular forms of the same element in the same physical state.

  9. Allotropes of Carbon • Diamond • Graphite • Bucky Balls

  10. Buckminsterfullerene “Bucky Ball”

  11. Amorphous Solids • No order internal structure • Examples: glass, plastics, asphalt
