Physical Chemistry – The Solid State-Concept of Crystals, Crystallography, Inter facial – part-4.<\/p>\n
[fvplayer id=”778″]<\/p>\n
Here is a well-organized explanation of Physical Chemistry \u2013 The Solid State<\/strong> (Part-4), covering concepts of Crystals, Crystallography, and Interfacial Angles<\/strong>. This is perfect for Class 12 or undergraduate students:<\/p>\n A crystal<\/strong> is a solid<\/strong> in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite and repeating pattern<\/strong> in three dimensions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Example: Salt (NaCl), Quartz (SiO\u2082), Diamond, Sugar<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Crystallography<\/strong> is the branch of science that studies the geometry<\/strong>, structure<\/strong>, and properties<\/strong> of crystals.<\/p>\n Shape and size of crystals<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Unit cell and lattice structure<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Symmetry and crystal systems<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Interfacial angles (important concept below)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \ud83d\udd3a Interfacial angle<\/strong> is the angle between any two adjacent faces of a crystal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The interfacial angle is constant<\/strong> for all crystals of the same substance, regardless of size or shape.<\/p>\n This is called Steno\u2019s Law (Law of Constancy of Interfacial Angles)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
