Background Information for LearnersSolids are characterized by an extended three-dimensional arrangement of atoms, ions, ormolecules in which the components are generally locked into their positions. The componentscan be arranged in a regular repeating three-dimensional array (a crystal lattice), which resultsin a crystalline solid, or more or less randomly to produce an amorphous solid.The constituents of a solid can be arranged in two general ways: they can form a regularrepeating three-dimensional structure called a crystal lattice, thus producing a crystalline solid,or they can aggregate with no particular order, in which case they form an amorphous solid(from the Greekámorphos,meaning“shapeless”).A solid interface is defined as a small number of atomic layers that separate two solids inintimate contact with one another, where the properties differ significantly from those of thebulk material it separates. Based on their crystal structures, solids can be classified into thefollowing categories:1. Crystalline solids2. Amorphous solidsCrystalline solids have well-defined edges and faces, diffract x-rays, and tend to have sharpmelting points. In contrast, amorphous solids have irregular or curved surfaces, do not givewell-resolved x-ray diffraction patterns, and melt over a wide range of temperatures.LAS 2Address: San Joaquin Road, Poblacion, Malvar, BatangasMobile No.: 09171601390
