Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Nature and Classification of Solids

  • Solids have definite shape, volume, and are rigid due to strong intermolecular forces
  • Particles vibrate about fixed positions with minimal kinetic energy
  • Crystalline solids: Long-range order, sharp melting point, anisotropic properties
2

2. Types of Crystalline Solids

  • Ionic Solids: Held by coulombic forces, hard and brittle, high melting points
  • Molecular Solids: Van der Waals forces, soft, low melting points
  • Covalent Solids: Covalent bonds, very hard, very high melting points
3

3. Close Packing and Crystal Structures

  • Square close packing: Each sphere touches 4 others, less efficient
  • Hexagonal close packing: Each sphere touches 6 others, more efficient
  • HCP (ABAB): Hexagonal close packing, coordination number 12
4

4. Unit Cells and Crystal Lattices

  • Unit cell: Smallest repeating unit that generates entire crystal
  • Seven crystal systems: Cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, hexagonal, rhombohedral, monoclinic, triclinic
  • 14 Bravais lattices: P (primitive), I (body-centered), F (face-centered), C (end-centered)
