Crystalline Solids
Solids
Two major types.
Amorphous- those with much
disorder in their structure.
Crystalline- have a regular
arrangement of components in
their structure.
Glass is an optically transparent fusion
product of inorganic materials that has cooled
to a rigid state without crystallizing
Crystalline Non-crystalline
quartz (SiO2) quartz glass

Fullerenes & Carbon Nanotubes
Synthetic—Carbon
Allotrope
Many Carbon atoms
with spherical or
elliptical shapes
Strong s bonds.
Ionic Crystals
Lattice points occupied by cations and anions
Held together by electrostatic attraction
High melting point, Low Vapor Pressure
Brittle due to the repulsion of like charges
Conduct heat and electricity only when ions are
mobile. (Liquid or Aqueous)

Alloys-Mixtures of Metals
Two Types: Interstitial and Substitutional
• In an interstitial alloy, the atoms tend
to make the lattice more ridged
