Properties of Solid Substances: The important properties of solid substances are as under- Nature- The solids are of two types crystalline and non-crystalline or amorphous. In a crystalline substance, the atoms are arranged in a periodic, regular and definite geometrical form. Such substances have long-range orderliness and definite melting points. Example- metals, salts, etc. On the other hand, amorphous solids do not have a regular atomic arrangement and definite melting points. Such substances do not have long-range orderliness but have short-range orderliness. The examples of amorphous solids are glass, wood, flour etc. Malleability- Solid substances which can be beaten into … Continue reading Properties of Solid Substances
