Question
Chapter 15, Problem 112E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A reason for the fact that the melting point of an amorphous solid is not always a definite value is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Crystalline solids are the ones in which the molecules are arranged in an orderly way throughout the crystal. They have long range order. Amorphous solids are those in which the molecules are not arranged in an orderly way throughout the crystal.

- An amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.arrow_forwardDescribe the behavior of a liquid and its vapor in a closed vessel as the temperature increases.arrow_forwardUsing the explanation of unbalanced forces as the source of surface tension, justify why it requires energy to increase the surface area of a liquid.
