Does a amorphous solid have definite melting point?
No
What shape and volume properties do gases and liquids and solids have?
Mass and volume
What is the difference between a crystaline mineral and an amorphous mineral?
because amorphous solids are that solids that don't have geometrical shape and don't have particular melting point but crystalline solids have characterstic geometrical shape and have sharp melting point.
What is a crystalline solids melting point?
Name this crystalline solid; each compound and material have a different melting point.
What are crystalline and amorphous two categories of?
These are two out of three categories of solids according to their geometry and arrangement. Crystalline solids have proper geometry having the particle arranged on definite axes possessing sharp melting point such as common salt, diamond, etc. Whereas amorphous solids neither have ordered arrangement nor a definite geometry. They have long range melting point such as glass, plastic, etc.
What are solids that do not have a crystal form or definite melting point called?
they must have strong network structures
When a crystal solids is heated it melts at?
At its melting point, which depends on what it is.
Why vacuum reduces melting point?
The crystal lattice will slightly effect the high vacuum and eventually decrease the melting point particularly decomposing solids.
What are the macroscopic properties of solids?
Very hard, very high melting point, poor conductor of electricity and heat, and not soluble in water.
What is melting point of a solid?
the melting points differ to differant solids
What has a lower melting point than ionic solids?
Covalent compounds have a lower melting point.
Does a amorphous solid have definite melting point?
No
Does an amorphous solid have a true melting point?
Amorphous solids do not have a definite melting point or regular repeating units. An amorphous solid is a solid in which there is no long-range order of the positions of the atoms unlike those in crystalline solids. An example of an amorphous solid is window glass. In addition many polymers such as polystyrene are amorphous.
What usually has a lower melting point than ionic solids?
Covalent compounds have a lower melting point.
What shape and volume properties do gases and liquids and solids have?
Mass and volume
Compared With the Melting Point Of Ionic Compounds The Melting Points Of Molecular Solids Tend To Be?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
What is the name for solids turning to liquids?
melting point..
