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.
What else can I help you with?
What are the similarities between solids and liquids?
They all are parts of the states of matter
Lcd ka pura nam kya hai?
It means liquid crystal display . This is full form of lcd.
What is quartz used for?
Quartz is used in the making of sandpaper, optics, glass, liquid filters, circuit boards, computer components, cement , mortar, and jewelry. Quartz crystals are also piezoelectric meaning when an electrical current passes through them they vibrate a small amount. Time can be measured from the vibrations of the quartz crystals so quartz crystals are often used in clocks.
Are some crystals eatable?
You can eat some kinds of crystals... salt crystals and sugar crystals, for example. It's probably not a good idea to eat, say, quartz crystals, though.
What properties of liquid crystals are useful in making electronic displays?
they can rotate polarization of light causing filters to block or pass it under electrical control. they consume almost no power doing this.
Liquids which keep some ordered structure are?
Liquid Crystals
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.
Is three dimensional order present in liquid crystals?
Yes, liquid crystals have a degree of three-dimensional order in their molecular arrangement, which is what differentiates them from normal liquids. This order is less rigid than that found in solid crystals, as the molecules have more freedom to move and orient themselves. This unique order allows liquid crystals to exhibit intermediate properties between those of solids and liquids.
What property makes liquid crystals ususual?
Liquid crystals are unusual because they exhibit properties of both liquids and crystals. They have a distinct molecular ordering like crystals, but are able to flow and change orientation like liquids. This enables them to switch between different phases and exhibit unique optical properties.
How do liquid with a high viscosity differ from liquid with low viscosity?
The liquids with high viscosity flow slowly and liquids with low viscosity flow quickly.
How do liquid with a high viscosity differ from liquid with a low viscosity?
The liquids with high viscosity flow slowly and liquids with low viscosity flow quickly.
How do liquids with a high viscosity differ from a liquid with a low viscosity?
Because liquids with a high viscosity flow slowly as to where a liquid with a low viscosity flow quickly
Which liquids keep some ordered structure?
Liquid crystals and certain polymer solutions can exhibit ordered structures similar to solids while still maintaining fluidity inherent to liquids. Ionic liquids are another example of liquids that can display some level of ordered structure due to their unique interactions between charged molecules.
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 liquids with a high viscosity differ from a liquids with a low viscosity?
Because liquids with a high viscosity flow slowly as to where a liquid with a low viscosity flow quickly
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.
