Doing Solids

What is a common misconception about chemicals?

• Chemicals are only in living organisms.

• Chemicals are only found in laboratories.

• Chemicals are only in synthetic products.

• All chemicals are toxic and unnatural.

What is the primary factor that determines the physical properties of solids?

• Size of the material

• Atomic and molecular arrangement

• Weight of the material

• Color of the material

What is the main reason amorphous solids melt over a range of temperatures?

• Uniform intermolecular bonds

• Varied strength of intermolecular bonds

• Lack of atomic structure

• Presence of impurities

How does the classification of solids into crystalline and amorphous types help in material science?

• It helps in predicting color changes.

• It is used to make materials transparent.

• It aids in understanding mechanical behavior.

• It focuses on increasing weight.
