Solid State Chemistry

Solid-state in Chemistry is the study of the structure, properties and the synthesis of solid materials. It is also sometimes called as materials chemistry. More significantly, in solid-state chemistry, we study the concept of a compound in a more deeper level. It basically helps us understand the compound from a molecular level to the crystal structure level.
In solid-state chemistry, nonstoichiometric compounds are categorized as exclusive solid-state compounds due to their structure and thermodynamic characteristics.
