•Solids can be categorized into two
groups: the crystalline solids and the
amorphous solids. The differences in
properties of these two groups of
solids arise from the presence or
absence of long range order of
arrangements of the particles in the
solid.
• Arrangement of particles- The
components of a solid can be arranged in
two general ways: they can form a
regular repeating three-dimensional
structure called a crystal lattice, thus
producing a crystalline solid or they can
aggregate with no particular long range
order, and form an amorphous solid
(from the Greek ámorphos, meaning
“shapeless”).
•Crystalline solids are arranged in fixed
geometric patterns or lattices.
• Examples :
ice and sodium chloride (NaCl), copper
sulfate (CuSO4), diamond, graphite, and
sugar (C12H22O11).
Amorphous solids have a random
orientation of particles.
•Orthorhombic - conjoined
pyramid shapes
•Tetragonal - rectangular shape like butter
sticks
•Triclinic - abstract forms
•Trigonal - rectangular with triangle ends
What are the four types of crystals? What form of
unit particles makes up each type of crystal? What
forces bind the unit particles of each type of crystal?
What are the properties of each type of crystal?

4. COVALENT NETWORK CRYSTALS
Metallic crystals are made of metals and held
together using metallic bonds. These crystals
have a shiny appearance and include copper,
gold, aluminum, and iron, to name a few.
•Metallic crystals are made of
atoms that readily lose
electrons to form positive ions
(cations), but no atoms in the
crystal would readily gain
electrons. The metal atoms give
up their electrons to the whole
crystal, creating a structure
made up of an orderly
arrangement of cations
surrounded by delocalized
electrons that move around the
crystal.
•Ionic crystals
are made of ions (cations and
anions). These ions form strong
electrostatic interactions that hold
the crystal lattice together. The
electrostatic attractions are
numerous and extend throughout
the crystal since each ion is
surrounded by several ions of
opposite charge, making ionic
crystals hard and of high melting
points
MOLECULAR CRYSTALS
are made of atoms, such as in noble gases, or
molecules, such as in sugar, C12H22O11, iodine, I2, and
naphthalene, C10H8. The atoms or molecules are held
together by a mix of hydrogen bonding/ dipole-dipole
and dispersion forces, and these are the attractive
forces that are broken when the crystal melts.. Hence,
most molecular crystals have relatively low melting
points.
Covalent network crystals
are made of atoms in which each atom is covalently bonded to its
nearest neighbors. The atoms can be made of one type of atom (e.g.
Cdiamond and Cgraphite) or can be made of different atoms (e.g. SiO2
and BN).
