Q- Classify the following as amorphous or crystalline solids polyurethane, naphthalene, benzoic acid, Teflon, potassium nitrate, cellophane, polyvinyl chloride, fiber glass, copper.
Answer- All the substances are classified below-
Polyurethane | Amorphous solid |
Naphthalene | Crystalline solid |
Benzoic acid | Crystalline solid |
Teflon | Amorphous solid |
Potassium nitrate | Crystalline solid |
Cellophane | Amorphous solid |
Polyvinyl chloride | Amorphous solid |
Fiber glass | Amorphous solid |
Copper | Crystalline solid |
Note- Amorphous solids are those solids that are solids that do not have a definite form or state. On the other hand, Crystalline solids are those solids that are attached to a highly ordered microscopic structure. You can easily classify them on the basis of their structure.
