Solid state Part - 04

Close packing in crystals:

In order to understand the packing of the constituent particles in a crystal, it is assumed that these particles are hard spheres of identical size. The packing of the crystals is done such that they occupy the maximum available space and hence the crystal has maximum density.

Solutions - Solubility of solids in liquids

Identify the soluble compounds in water Solution s  of solids in solids (solid solutions) This type of solution is formed by mixing two solid components. For example, brass, bronze, monel metal and steel. Solid solutions are classified into two categories: substitutional solid solutions and interstitial solid solutions. l  Substitutional solid solutions  are formed by placing atoms of one kind into the place of other substance in its crystal lattice. Brass is a common example of the substitutional solid solution of copper and zinc. l  Interstitial solid solutions  are formed by placing atoms of one kind into the voids in the lattice of atoms of other substance. Tungsten carbide, an extremely hard substance, is a common example of interstitial solid solutions. S olubility  of solids in liquids  ( Saturated, unsaturated, supersaturated solutions) A solution which contains as much solute as it can be dissolve d  at a given temperature is called a sat...
