Why does it matter if a material is amorphous or crystalline? How does the arrangement of atoms affect the properties of materia

Rashid [163]4 years ago

Answer:

<em>It matters because crystalline and amorphous materials have different properties. The arrange affects the melting point (defined in crystals and a larger range in amorphous) and shape (geometrical in crystals, no geometrical in amorphous). </em>

Explanation:

The particles that compose a solid material are held in place by strong tractive forces between them when we analyze solids we consider the position of the atoms (molecules or ions) rather than their motion (which is important in liquids and gases). This positioning can be arranged in two general ways:

  • Crystalline solids have internal structures that in turn lead to distinctive flat surfaces or face, these faces intersect at angles that are characteristic of the substance, crystals tend to have sharp, well defined and high melting points because of the same distance from the same number and type of neighbors. They generally have geometric shapes, some examples are diamonds, metals, salts.
  • Amorphous solids produce irregular or curved surfaces when broken and they have poorly defined patterns when exposed to x rays because of their irregular array. In contrast with crystal solids, amorphous solids soften over a wide temperature range due to the different amounts of thermal energy needed to overcome different interactions. Some examples of these solids are gels, plastics, and some polymers.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

A museum is creating an exhibit about atoms. Which type of exhibit would best explain what atoms are? A. Put an atom on a poster
Zolol [24]
 
A).  No.  The entire poster is already covered with atoms,
but they're too small to see.

B).  No.  What's "life-size" of an atom ?  It's too small to see,
and that's the whole problem.

D).  No.  Atoms are too small to see even with a microscope.

C).  Yes !  A model of an atom, big enough to see, would help
get <em><u>some</u></em> of the important ideas across.

Give reason for the following:
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A; the reason why a balloon stuck to the wall was that it was electrically charged (negativly). when you put it by the wall it pushes the negative particles in the wall away and pulls the positive particles closer so that it sticks to them.

B; the reason for this is because of gravity. according to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity gravity is warpiture in spacetime which makes mass fall towards other mass.

C; this is because as the amount of oxygen in the air decreases and the air becomes drier, blood vessels inside your nose can crack and bleed. as you get higher the amount of air becomes proportionally less because there is less gravity to hold it down to the earth.

D; this is because the tallest buildings way a tone or many many tones which creates a lot of pressure where it sits. the reason they have wide foundations so that the pressure is spread out.

E; anyone who is around different amounts of air and different amounts of pressure will need a special suit so that their bodies can function as they would in their normal environment.

F; the bottom of a dam needs to be much stronger than the top because all of the pressure from the water on top gets channeld to the bottom.

Hi guys can you help me with finding advantages with nuclear power?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Low-cost energy. Although building nuclear power plants has a high initial cost, it’s relatively cheap to produce energy from them and they have low operating costs.

Reliable. One of the biggest benefits of nuclear energy is that it is a reliable power generation source.  

Zero carbon emissions. Nuclear power reactors do not produce any carbon emissions.  

Promising future energy supply.
