About this document
Structure and Types of Solids by Icee Alejandrino is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Solids can be crystalline or amorphous. Crystalline solids have a regular repeating lattice structure while amorphous solids have no long-range order. Crystalline solids such as diamond are rigid with a definite shape and melting point, while amorphous solids like glass soften gradually over a wide temperature range. Solids have an ordered, dense molecular structure that gives them a fixed shape and volume and makes them slightly compressible through intermolecular forces.
