Honors Chemistry Solid State

Name: HONORS CHEMISTRY – SOLID STATE http://chemistry.about.com/od/matter/a/Types-Of-Solids.htm

Two types of solids in broadest terms:

1. ______Define:

2. ______Define:

Crystals are made of unit cells. A unit cell is the “smallest unit that the crystal can be divided into.” Like Lego blocks that assemble to make a castle, each individual block is a unit cell.

The crystal lattice and unit cell of a crystal of sodium chloride. Sodium ions, Na+, are the smaller spheres, Chloride ions, Cl–, are the larger spheres. (a) Overall crystal lattice; (b) unit cell; (c) unit cell, showing division of spheres.

Basic Unit Cell Shapes: The shape of the unit cell reflects the shape of the overall crystal. Four Types of Crystalline Solids Fill out the chart below:

Type of Particles Force(s) Properties (3-4) Examples Crystalline Found at unit holding crystal Solid cell positions together

Ex: Molecular Atoms or Intermolecular Low melting Points, Water (Ice), Solid Molecules Forces soft solids, brittle, Sugar nonconductors of (Sucrose) heat and electricity,

Ionic solids

Metallic solids

Covalent Network (atomic) solids Classify the compounds below:

Compound Type of Crystalline Solid

NaC2H3O2

Li

O2

CO

SiO2

Mg(OH)2

AlCl3

C (diamond)

Question: Watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kypne21A0R4 and answer question below: If atoms are mostly empty space, how can there be solids? Visit: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/04/photogalleries/giant- crystals-cave/

View a few of the photos of the “Crystal Cave.”

Where is the crystal cave located?

What type of crystal are the structures made from? Ionic Covalent Molecular Metallic Covalent Network

What is the common name of this chemical?

What is the average temperature of the cave?
