Crystal Structures

Solids are present all around us. They have different properties and applications. Diamond and graphite are two well-known solids. Diamond is the hardest material in the world and is used in making jewelry. Graphite on the other hand is soft. The lead of your pencil is graphite. Why are they so different in appearance and properties despite the fact they are chemically the same? Both are allotropes of carbon. The answer lies in the structure, the way constituent particles are arranged in the solids.

A liquid and a solid of the same substance coexist in a flask as shown in the diagram below. The system is allowed to come to room temperature, causing the solid to melt into a liquid. After the solid melts, how will the volume of liquid in the flask compare with the total volume of the liquid and solid that initially occupied the flask? Your answer should indicate if the volume increases, decreases, or does not change in volume and should include the reason for your answer. Assume that there is no evaporation.
