Solids - General properties of solids

5 important questions on Solids - General properties of solids

From a microscopic perspective how are solids described?


Condensed, closely packed state.
Vibration around a fixed position.

What is the elastic modulus?

After a stress (or force) is applied to a solid it will return to its original state. While applying stress the material will produce an opposing force and produces a strain.

Which two types of solids can be distinguished?


Crystalline solids, well-defined geometric microscopic structure, lattice structure.
Amorphous solids, no long-range order, no lattice structure.
