1.1 GENERAL CHARACTERSTICS OF SOLID STATE
As We know that matter exist in three diffrent physical states namely SOLID,LIQUID and GAS.under a given set of conditions of temperature and pressure,the most stable state of substance depends upon the net effect of two opposing forces;intermolecular forces and thermal energy. ====

Characteristic properties of solids are: =


 * 1) Solids are rigid and have definite shape and mass.
 * 2) They have definite Volume irrespective of the size or shape of the container in which they are placed.
 * 3) The intermolecular distance in solids are short and intermolecular forces are strong.
 * 4) The constituent particles (atoms,ions or molecules)of solids have fixed positions and can only oscillate about theit mean positions.
 * 5) Solids are alomost incompressible.
 * 6) the densitry of solids is greater than that of liquid and gases.
 * 7) Solids diffuse very slowly as compared to liquid and gases.

1.2 CLASSFICATION OF SOLIDS
Solids can be classified on the basis of nature of order present in the arrangment of constituent particles in to two typesas:


 * 1) Crystalline solids
 * 2) Amorphous solids

1. CRYSTALLINE SOLIDS 

The substance whose constituent particles are arranged in a definite geometric pattern are called CRYSTALLNE SOLIDS.

The Crystalline substance are said to have LONG RANGE ORDER.

2. AMORPHOUS SOLID 

The substance whose constituent particles are not arranged in any regular arrangment are calledAMORPHOUS SOLIDS.

The amorphous solids are said to have SHORT RANGE ORDER.

1. Characteristics geometry
.

The crystalline solids have definite regular geometry because of orderly arrangement of constituents in three dimensional space
.

2.Melting points
.

Uses of Amorphous Solids

 * 1) The most widley used amorphous solids are inorganic glasses.
 * 2) Amorphous silicon is best material for converting sunlight into electricity.
 * 3) Rubber is also a amorphous solid which is used in making tyres.
 * 4) Plastics which are amorphous are used in making article of daily use.

CLASSIFICATION OF CRYSTALLINE SOLIDS
The Crystalline solids can be classified into following four types.depending upon nature of intermolecular forces.


 * 1) Molecular Solids
 * 2) Ionic Solids
 * 3) Metallic Solids
 * 4) Covalent or network solids

1.MOLECULAR SOLIDS
These are crystalline substance in which the constituent particles are molecules.

They are furthure divided in to 4 sub categories



Non polar molecular solids

 * 1) They are generally soft.
 * 2) They have low melting point and are in liquid or gaseous form.
 * 3) They are non conductors of electricity.
 * 4) They are volatile and have low enthalpies of vaporisation.



Polar molecular solids
These comprise of molecules of substances formed by polar covalent bonds.for example,solid HCL,solid SO2etc.The molecules are held together by strong releatively stronger dipole-dipole forces.



Hydrogen bonded molecular solids.undefined
The molecules of such solids contain hydrogen bonds between them.for example,Solid water(ice)

2.IONIC SOLIDS
These solids consists of positively and negatively charged ions arranged in a regular manner throughout the solid.ions are held together by strong coulombic(or electrostatic) forces.In ionic solids,the constituent particles are IONS.

Chracterstics of ionic crystals are:

 * 1) Ionic solids are very hard and brittle.
 * 2) They have very high melting points.
 * 3) They are poor conductors of electricity
 * 4) They have high enthalpies of vaporisation.
 * 5) They are soluble in water and also in other polar solvents.

Common examples of ionic crystals are:

Nacl,KNO3,LiF,Na2SO4etc.undefined

undefined

3. Metallic solids or crystals
In metalic crystals the constituent particles are positive ions.The electrons in metallic crystals are mobile and are evenly spread out throughout the crystal.Each metal atom contributes one or more electrons towards this sea of mobile electrons.


 * 1) Metallic crystals may be hard as well as soft.
 * 2) They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
 * 3) They have metallic lusture and color in certain cases.
 * 4) They are malleable and ductile.
 * 5) They have moderate enthalpies of fusion.

The examples of metallic crystals are Comon metals such as nickel,copper,alloys. 

4. Covalent or Network solids or crystals
In covalent crystal,the constituent particles are  Atoms  which are linked together by a contiuous system of covalent bonds throughout the crystal.

They are also giant molecules.


 * 1) The covalent crystal are hard.
 * 2) They have extremely high melting points.
 * 3) They are poor conductors of electricity and are insulators.
 * 4) They have high enthalpies of fusion.

The examples are Diamond,Quartz,boron nitride (BN).

CRYSTAL LATTICE OR SPACE LATTICE AND UNIT CELL
A regular arrangement of the constituent particels (atoms,ions, or molecules) of a crystalline solids in three dimensional space.

A UNIT CELL IS
The smallest repeating unit in space lattice which when repeated over and over again produces the complete crystal lattice.

Parameters of a Unit cell
A unit cell is characterized by


 * Its dimension along the three edges as a,b, and c.
 * Angles,Alpha,Beta,Gamma.

Characteristics of a crystal lattice

 * Each point in a crystal lattice is called lattice point or lattice site.
 * Each point in a crystal lattice represents one constituent particle which may be an atom,a molecule,or an ion.

Types of crystal system

 * 1) PRIMITIVE UNIT CELLS.
 * 2) CENTERED UNIT CELLS.(These are of 3 Types.)

1- PRIMITIVE UNIT CELLS:-  These are unit cells which have points only at the corners.They are also called simple unit cell.

2- BODY CENTERED UNIT CELLS:- The points are present at the corners as well as at the body centre of unit cell.

3- END CENTRED UNIT CELLS:-    The point are present at all the corners and at the centre of any two opposite faces.

Types of imperfections:-
1.Electronic imperfections 2.Atomic imperfections or point defects.

1-Electronic imperfections:- These correspond to defect in ionic crystals due to the electrons.

2-Point defects or Atomic Imperfections:-The defects which arise due to the irregularities or deviations from ideal arrangement of atoms around a point or an atom in a crystslline substance are called point defects or atomic imperfections.

The point defect arises due to any one of the following cases

(i) Vaccancy defect. When some of the lattice sites are vacant,the crystal is said to have vacancy defect.

'''(ii) Interstitial defect. When some constituent particles occupy vacant interstital positions,the crystal is said to have interstitial defect.'''

A. Defects in stoichiometric crystals.

B. Defects in non-stoichiometric crystals.

C. Impurity defects

A.Point defects in stoichiometric crystals Stoichiometric compounds. Are those in which the number of positive and negative ions are exactly in the ratios indicated by their chemical formulae.In these types of compounds two types of defects are generally observed.

1.Schottky defect

2. Frenkel defect

1.Schottky defect This defect was discovered by German scientist Schottky in 1930. It arises if some of the atoms or ions are missing from their normal lattice sites.The lattice sites which are unoccupied are called lattice vaccancies or holes. Conditions causing Schottky defects.This type of defect is usually observed in strongly ionic compounds having (i) High co-ordination number,and (ii) Ions of almost similar sizes. Eg-Nacl,KCL,Cscl.

This defect is also known as interstitial defect.

Conditions causing Frenkel defects.


 * 1) Co-ordination number is low.
 * 2) Anions are much bigger in size than the cations.

B.Point defcts in Non-stoichiometric crystals The compounds in which the ratio of positive and negative ions prsent in the compound differ from that required by ideal chemical formula of the compound are called non-stoichiometric compounds. Two types of point defectsmetal acess and metal deficiency defect. ('''A) Metal Excess defect-May arise due to the following two ways.


 * 1) Presence of cations in interstitial sites.

Consequences of Metal Excess Defects


 * The crystal with metal excess defects are generally coloured.

(B) Metal Deficient Defects-These may arise due to two ways.


 * 1) Extra anions occupying interstitial sites

(C) Impurity Defects

These defects in ionic crystals arise due to the presence of some impuritiy ions at the lattice sites.

PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS
There is a close releationship between the properties of a solid and its composition and structure.some of them are :-

(1.) Electrical Properties of solids 

Solids exhibit an intresting range of variation of electrical conductivities extending over 27 orders of magnitude.

Solids can be classified into three types:(i) Conductors (ii) Semi-conductors (iii) Insulators In metals,conductivity strongly depends on the number of valnce electrons available per atom.

(2) Magnetic properties of solids:- Each electron in atom has magnetic moment which originates from two sources:

(i) Orbital motion around the nucleus.

(ii) Spin of electron around its own axis.
