Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 1: Solid State – Important Topics

Some of the important topics in Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 1: Solid State is given below

  • Types of Solids – Crystalline and Amorphous Solids

Properties of Crystalline Solids:

  • They have fixed geometrical shapes.
  • Crystalline solids have their constituent particles arranged in long-range order.
  • They have a fixed melting point.
  • They have fixed heat of fusion.
  • They are anisotropic.
  • They are considered as true solids.

Properties of Amorphous Solids:

  • They have an irregular shape.
  • Amorphous solids have their constituent particles arranged in short-range order.
  • When heated, they soften and do not have a sharp melting point.
  • They do not have a sharp melting point.
  • They are isotropic.
  • They are considered as pseudo solids or super cooled liquids.

  • Types of Bonding – Ionic Bond, Covalent Bond

Ionic Bond: Ionic bond is formed by the exchange of electrons between two reacting molecules. It usually occurs between metals and non metals (eg: Sodium and Chlorine) where there is an interchange of oppositely charged particles.

Covalent Bond: Covalent Bond is the sharing of electrons between two molecules to form a new product. This types of bonding is not as strong as Ionic bonds.

Some of the factors which determine the type of Bonding are called as Bond parameters. They include:

  • Bond Length
  • Bond Angle
  • Bond Enthalpy
  • Bond Order
  • Resonance Structures
Lattice Enthalpy: It is the amount of energy required to separate one mole of crystalline ionic compounds from its constituent gaseous ions.
