1.5 Refractive index of a solid is observed to have the same value along all directions.Comment on the nature of this solid. Would it show cleavage property?
1.5 Refractive index of a solid is observed to have the same value along all directions.Comment on the nature of this solid. Would it show cleavage property?
1.5 As isotropic solid has the same value of physical properties when measured along different directions. Therefore, the given solid, having the same value of refractive index along all directions, is isotropic in nature. Hence, the solid is and amorphous solid. When an amorphous solid is cut with

1.4 Why is glass considered a super cooled liquid?
1.4 Why is glass considered a super cooled liquid?
1.4 Glass is basically an amorphous solid. When glass is made the silica is cooled from its liquid state, and it does not solidifies even when the temperature is dropped below freezing point. Hence, glass is a super cooled liquid. Due to this fluidity property, glass can be considered as a liquid of
Upvote 1.3 Classify the following as amorphous or crystalline solids: Polyurethane, naphthalene, benzoic acid, Teflon, potassium nitrate, cellophane, polyvinyl chloride, fiber glass, copper.

1.3 Amorphous solids: Amorphous solids are solids in which the geometry of the solid is said to be irregular. When the amorphous solids are cut with a knife, a clean surface is not obtained. The amorphous solids are called pseudo solids or sometimes also as super cooled liquids. Polyurethane, Cellop
Upvote 1.2 They are rigid so the intermolecular forces of attraction that are present in solids are very strong. Hence, solids have a definite volume.
Upvote 1.1 : It is because of the lack of mobility which makes a solid rigid. Since the atoms are almost lacking in mobility, their kinetic energy is negligibly small. The constituent particles in solids are held together by strong inter-atomic forces. The average location of the particles in a lattice doe
