What is Solubility?
The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a known quantity of solvent at a certain temperature is its solubility. A solution is a homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes in a solvent. Sugar cubes added to a cup of tea or coffee are a common example of a solution. The property which…

Exp. of Concentration of Solutions
We always discuss a solution being diluted or concentrated; this is a qualitative way of expressing the concentration of the solution. A dilute solution means the quantity of solute is relatively very small, and a concentrated solution implies that the solution has a large amount of solute. But these are relative terms and do not…

Definition and Types of Solutions
Define Solution A solution is defined as a homogenous mixture which mainly comprises two components namely solute and solvent. For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components. On the basis of physical states of solvent and solute can be categorized as solid, liquid…

Covalent and Amorphous Solids
A wide range of crystalline solids of non-metal form covalent bond between adjacent atoms throughout the crystal and form a giant molecule or large molecules. These solids are hard like diamond and soft like graphite which are isotopes of carbon. They are insulators as in the case of a diamond but in case of graphite due to…

Ionic and Metallic Solids
In ionic solids the constituent particles are ions. These are formed by the arrangement of cations and anions by strong Coulombic forces. These are hard and brittle in nature. Ionic solids act as an insulator in a solid-state but are conductors in a molten and aqueous state. They have a high melting point. Example: NaCl,…

Molecular solids
In molecular solids the constituent particles are molecules. They are further divided into three categories: 1. Non-Polar Molecular Solids These solids are formed from molecules or atoms that share a non-polar covalent bond. The atoms or molecules are held by weak dispersion force or by London forces. The physical nature of non-polar solids are soft. They don’t…

Crystalline Solid State
Crystalline solids are those that have a typical geometry. In such type of solids, there are definite arrangements of particles (atoms, molecules or ions ) throughout the 3-dimensional network of a crystal in a long-range order. Examples include Sodium Chloride, Quartz, Diamond, etc. Properties of Crystalline Solids Crystalline solids have a sharp melting point and…

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…
