Glass as a solid is acturally a 'super-cooled liquid'. If left for many years the glass will appear to go cloudy, light does not trasnmit . This is the glass forming a crystalline solid.

Glass is classified as a super-cooled liquid becasue it is a liquid below its melting point, but has not formed crystals, to become solid.

NB Under certain weather conditions, water can become super-cooled. That is it is below its freezing point but still remains a liquid.

Rubber and glass which become softer as they are heated are examples of crystalline solids


Is it true that rubber and glass are examples of crystalline solids?

No, rubber and glass are examples of amorphous solids, not crystalline solids. Crystalline solids have a repeating atomic arrangement, while amorphous solids lack a regular, ordered structure.


Are rubber and glass examples of of crystalline solids?

yes


Which of these are examples of amorphous solids 1. glass 2. table salt 3. rubber 4. silver?

Glass and rubber are examples of amorphous solids, while table salt and silver are examples of crystalline solids. Amorphous solids lack an organized atomic structure, whereas crystalline solids have a well-defined repeating pattern.


Do all solid have a highly organized reapiting pattern?

Not all solids have a highly organized repeating pattern. Crystalline solids, like salt or diamond, exhibit a well-defined, repeating arrangement of atoms or molecules. In contrast, amorphous solids, such as glass or rubber, lack this long-range order and do not have a consistent repeating structure. Thus, while many solids are crystalline, there are also significant examples of non-crystalline solids.


What is an example of an amorphous solid?

some examples are wax, paraffin, polystyrene, etc. in case u didnt know, an amorphous solid is one that has particles not arranged in a particular order, or has non chrystalline characteristics. There are more everyday examples like glass, rubber, and basic plastics, if any of that helps. Dont forget wood.


Salt sugar and snow are examples of what solids?

Sort of, snow is a conglomeration of many solids. They're all ice, but obviously snow and ice are quite different.


What is a crystalline solid-?

Crystalline solids are a class of solids that have regular or nearly regular crystalline structures. This means that the atoms in these solids are arranged in an orderly manner. Examples of crystalline solids are sugar, sugar candy, or rock candy.


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.
