Magnetic properties of Crystals :- Each electron in an atom behaves like a magnet. It’s magnetic moment originates from two types of motions are orbital…
Conductors:- The solids with conductivities ranging between 10⁴ to 10⁷ ohm⁻¹ m⁻¹ are called conductors. Examples. – Metals like Iron, Copper, Sodium etc. A conductor…
A solid consists of an aggregation of large number of small crystals, these small crystals have defects in them which are called defects in crystals.…
Atomic radius :- In a Simple or primitive cubic unit cell, the two adjacent corner atoms are supposed to touch each other along the edge…
In Crystals, the constituent particles are close packed and leaving the minimum vacant space. In such a situation, the entropy of crystalline material becomes minimum.…
W. H. Miller in 1839 represented the planes of a crystal by a set of three integers h, k and l, called the Miller indices.…
Theoretical Density :- Knowing the unit cell dimensions, the theoretical density d of a cubic crystal can be calculated from the equation d = Z…
Crystal Lattice :- If the three dimensional arrangement of constituent particles like atoms, molecules or ions in a crystal is represented diagrammatically, in which each…
Solid state :- They have definite mass, volume and shape. Solid state can still oscillate about their mean positions. Intermolecular forces are strong because their…
