Define what are Crystalline Solids and Amorphous Solids?
(b)
Explain, with a two-dimensional representation, the amorphous and
crystalline forms of SiO2?
(c)
The density of matter largely depends on the atomic weight of the
atoms and how closely packed they are in the crystal structure. The
atomic weight of nickel is 58.70 amu, and it has a face-centred
cubic structure, with a lattice parameter of 3.52 Å. Estimate the
theoretical density of nickel.
