NCERT Solutions for class 12 chemistry - Solid State

Takshila Learning is an online coaching company, with the sole objective to impart quality education to its students. We have prepared an online course which caters to all your needs to score good marks in CBSE exams. Our online study material is unique & content is regularly updated keeping in mind the latest pattern of question paper of Board exams. 
In this article, we have discussed the about the solid state of matter, and the two different types of solids. It covers the Unit 1: Solid State, of CBSE Class 12th Chemistry.
Solid state is the state of matter having fixed shape and volume, rigidity, high density and low compressibility.
Based on the arrangement of the particles, the solids are classified as;
  1. Amorphous solids
  2. Crystalline solids
Amorphous Solids: In condensed matter physics and materials science, an Amorphous (from the Greek a, without, morphé, shape, form) or non-crystalline solid is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal.The solids which do not have any definite geometrical shape are called as amorphous solids. Glass is a classic example of an amorphous material.Glass is a heterogeneous material formed from silicon, oxygen, sodium, and a variety of other elements, depending upon the type of glass. It lacks long-range structure: Short units of silicon dioxide are bound together, but there is no overall order. At an atomic level, glass looks like a frozen liquid. Individual clusters exist, but they are not connected to each other and are held together only by van der Waals interactions. This is why when glass breaks it forms curved or jagged edges and why it shatters if struck with a hard blow. Another example is paper, composed of randomly oriented cellulose molecules. Many familiar objects are made up of amorphous solid materials, all lacking long-range structure or order. They are aperiodic substances—substances that do not display periodicity. Consequently, it is hard to analyze the structure of amorphous materials as each sample is unique. Some other examples of amorphous solids are rubber, plastic etc. Amorphous solids are isotropic i.e. the properties (like mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical) of isotropic materials are the same in all directions. In amorphous substances, the particles are randomly arranged and disordered. Due to this, all directions are equivalent and so all the properties remain the same in all directions.
Crystalline solids: The solids which have a repetitive arrangement of atoms and molecules in a regular formation are known as crystalline solids. They have long-range order as these can extend for the massiveness of the structure. These solids have the low potential energy they are always considered as the most stable form of solids. Crystalline solids could be subdivided into either single or polyforms. The crystalline solids make up a much smaller percentage of everyday objects, but they are easier to understand. A sub-discipline of chemistry called crystallography is devoted to analyzing the crystalline material. Crystal displays long-range structure made up of the same building block used over and over.

Lessons-Worksheets-Question Papers-CBSE Class 2 English CBSE 2nd Class English – One and Many  In this blog, we share the spelling rules used in the concept of  One  and Many. When there is only one of a naming word (noun), it is said to be a  singular noun . When a noun shows more than one, it is said to be in the  plural . We can add  –S, -es, -ves or ies  to show that there is more than one noun.  For example,  we say many birds, four biscuits, six brushes. But for the students of  Class 2 , it’s very difficult and confusing to understand where to use  s , es, ves or ies  in the form of many. Don’t worry, it looks difficult, but it is very easy as in grammar each concept has a set of rules that need to practice. Noun ending with  –s, -x, -o, -sh, -ch, and –ss  form plurals by taking  –es. Look at these pairs of words: Bus – Buses Brush – Brushes Continue ..... Click here ...

PURCHASED GOODWILL METHOD UNDER IND AS 103

The acquisition of subsidiaries results in  Goodwill calculation  and also records net assets of the subsidiary at fair value on the date of acquisition. Let’s get answers to all the questions related to Goodwill, valuation of NCI, and impairment relating to them. Q1 – What are the ways in which an entity can make payment for purchase consideration? ANS: – Cash – Share exchange – Deferred payment – Contingent consideration Q2 – How is deferred payment dealt, when it forms part of purchase consideration? ANS:  The deferred payment is discounted to present value and included in the cost of consideration. At the end of each year, the liability is increased by unwinding the discount, until the payment is settled. For example, An amount of Rs. 108,000 was deferred to be paid after 2 years. The discount rate applicable is 8%. The net present value today of Rs. 108,000 is equal to (108,000 * 1) / (1.08) ^2)= Rs. 92,593 included in purchase consideration. A liability of Rs. 92,59...
