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 ...

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...
