(a)
Interpretation: The type of solid for given substance needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Solid state has strong intermolecular force of attraction between particles whereas the gaseous particles have weakest intermolecular forces between particles. Due to intermolecular force of attraction between particles, different interconversions are possible between these three states like evaporation, condensation, sublimation, etc.
On the basis of structure and intermolecular interactions, solids can further classified as:
- Crystalline solids - Molecular solids, network solid, ionic solids, metallic solids
- Amorphous solid
(a)
Answer to Problem 141AE
Explanation of Solution
Crystalline solids have well defined ordered arrangement of particles whereas amorphous solids have disordered at an atomic level because particles are held together in a completely random formation.
Noble gases have completely filled valence shell configuration therefore they have weak dispersion forces between atoms and only exist in gaseous state.

Answer to Problem 141AE
Explanation of Solution
Crystalline solids have well-defined ordered arrangement of particles, whereas amorphous solids have disordered arrangement at an atomic level because particles are held together in a completely random formation.
Network solids are types of crystalline solid which are mainly composed of atoms which are bonded through covalent bonds to form a large cross network. In these solids, the constituent particle must be some atoms which are bonded with strong covalent bonds.

What are the fundamental panicles in each? Give two examples of each type of solid and indicate the individual particles that make up the solids in each of your examples.arrow_forwardAn 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.
