The Solid State Class 12 Notes – Chapter 1
Solids have definite volume, shape, and mass due to the short distance between the fixed position of particles and strong interactions between them. Amorphous solids behave like super cool liquids as the arrangement of constituent particles has short-range order, isotropic in nature and no sharp melting point. Crystalline solids have a characteristic shape, with the arrangement of constituent particles of long-range order, anisotropic in nature and a sharp melting point. The classification of crystalline solids is based on their property. Please refer The Solid State Class 12 Notes for more revision notes.
