Contrast the changes in a crystalline solid as it is heated to those in an amorphous solid that is heated?
crystalline gets hotter then amorphous
Differentiate between cristaline solids and amorphous solids?
Crystalline particles form a regular repeating pattern, also when a crystalline solid is heated it melts at a specific temperature. Amorphous particles are not arranged in a regular pattern, and when it is heated, it may become softerand softer or change into other substances.
Why glass is not crystalline?
glass does not have a crystalline structure but it is still a solid. There are a few solids that don't have crystalline structure such as coal, a block of wood and a brick. Solids that do not have a crystalline structure are known as amorphous solids.
What is the shape of an amorphous substance?
an amorphous substance is something that has a random molecular formation in it's natural form (when solidified). the opposite would be semi-cristaline which has random molecular structure when heated but returns to an organised unifom state when solidified. example. certain polymers
What type of heat transfer will occur between the heated water in a heated pool and yourself?
conduction

Rubber and glass which become softer as they are heated are examples of?
Rubber and glass which become softer as they are heated are examples of crystalline solids
A glass blower can bend and shape a piece of glass that has been amorphous solid?
Its an amorphous solid. When the glassblower blows into the glass, it expands just like a balloon. Crystalline solids can't expand like that because their atoms are held together in a rigid lattice. But amorphous solids have many of the proprties of liquids and can flow past each other, allowing the glass to stretch like the skin of a balloon.

What is a list of the characteristics of a crystalline solid?
when a crystalline solid such as snow is heated its melts at a destined characteristic melting point
When salt has been heated to melting point and allowed to cool does it reform into crystals or does it form a glass-like sheet as sand does?
Salt re-crystallizes, and the size of the crystals varies according to the cooling time. Salt does not form an amorphous state (non-crystalline glass) as silicon does.
When heated a pure crystalline solid will?
Exhibit a sharply defined melting temperature.
What happens to a amorphous solid that is heated?
Which of the following accurately describes an amorphous solid being heated? (1 point)(0 pts) The temperature holds steady as it melts.(0 pts) The attractive forces are broken.(1 pt) The temperature keeps rising as it melts.(0 pts) all of the above
What is amorphous sulphur?
when molten sulphur heated upto boiling and then poured into cold ice water then it turns elastic rubber like material which is called plastic sulphur or amorphous sulphur
What is the difference between thermo plastics and set plastics?
thermo can be heated and manipulated unlited timed, but set can only be heated and manipulated once
What substance does not expand on heating?
For example pure silicon doesn't expand in a given range of temperature. Also a mixture of amorphous and crystalline quartz has a thermal expansion coefficient near zero ("Zerodur" from Schott). But the majority of materials suffer thermal expansion.
