What is Example of smectic liquid crystal?
An example of a smectic liquid crystal is 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl (5CB). Smectic liquid crystals are characterized by their layered structure, where molecules are arranged in distinct layers that can slide over each other while maintaining some degree of order. This property makes them useful in various applications, including displays and sensors. Another well-known smectic liquid crystal is 4-n-pentyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (5CB), commonly used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
What is the difference between solid crystals and liquid crystals?
Solid crystals have a fixed, ordered arrangement of molecules or atoms, while liquid crystals have a partially ordered structure that can flow like a liquid but still exhibit some properties of a solid. Solid crystals have a defined melting point where they transition to a liquid state, while liquid crystals have a range of temperatures over which they exhibit liquid-like and solid-like properties.
How do temperature sensitive liquid crystals work?
Temperature-sensitive liquid crystals change their molecular arrangement in response to temperature variations, which alters their optical properties. As the temperature increases or decreases, these liquid crystals transition between different phases, such as nematic or smectic, affecting their ability to reflect or transmit light. This property allows them to be used in applications like displays, where the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules can control pixel visibility based on temperature changes. The result is a dynamic visual effect that can be harnessed in various technologies, including thermometers and smart windows.

What unusual property do liquid crystals have when they melt?
Liquid crystals start to flow during the melting phase similar to a liquid, but they do not lose their ordered arrangement completely, as most substances do. Liquid crystals will retain their geometric order in specific directions.

Can crystals be formed from minerals dissolved in liquid when the liquid evaporates?
On evaporation the crystals so formed are in the form of solid(in criss cross manner) and on crushing those crystals they become change into powder.
What do liquid crystals look like?
Liquid crystals appear similar to liquids, but they have properties of both liquids and solid crystals. Under polarized light, they exhibit colorful patterns due to their anisotropic nature, meaning their molecules have different properties depending on their orientation. Liquid crystals can be transparent or opaque, depending on their structure and arrangement of molecules.
What are LCD TV's made from?

How do liquids and liquid crystals differ?
Liquid crystals are certain long chain organic chemicals that, although liquid they have a strong tendency to align in "crystal like" arrays. Normal liquids have no (or very little) order, liquid crystals have order approaching that of solid crystals. Liquid crystals are useful in electronics (displays), temperature sensing (indicators), and other technologies because application of various stresses (e.g. electric field, heat) cause them to change their "crystal" properties in ways that solid crystals can't. These changes can then usually be made visible.
