Integrated Course AIIMS-SYLLABUS Chemistry syllabus Solid state

Solid state The solid state is a state of matter characterized by a definite shape and volume. In the solid state, particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) are closely packed and held together by strong intermolecular forces. This results in a rigid structure with a fixed arrangement of particles. Here are some key aspects and properties…

Classification of solids

Solids can be classified into various types based on different criteria. Here are some common ways of classifying solids: a. Crystalline solids: These are solids in which the atoms/molecules are arranged in a regular and repeating pattern. Examples include diamonds, salt, and metals. b. Amorphous solids: These are solids in which the atoms/molecules are arranged…
