Term
1a. When did people know about crystals like salt and quartz?
Definition
1a. People have known crystals like salt and quartz for centuries but it wasn’t until the 20 century
Term
1b. century that crystals were interpreted as what?
Definition
1b. crystals were interpreted as
regular arrays of atoms and it was realized that so many materials are crystals such as metals and most minerals.
Term
2a. X-ray diffraction patterns is what?
Definition
2a. reveal the arrangement of the atoms in the crystals
Term
2b. what is the Bragg formula for?
Definition
2b. where scientists can determine from the diffraction pattern what the spacing of the atoms is
Term
3a. what did Watson and Crick discovered?
Definition
3a. that DNA has a double-helix shape from the X-ray diffraction pattern.
Term
4a. what is amorphous? and provide 3 main examples?
Definition
4a. No crystalline solids lack an orderly, repetitive arrangement of their basic particles
Term
4b. provide 3 main examples?
Definition
4b. amorphous examples are rubber, glass, and plastic.
Term
5a. Due partly to their amorphous structure, rubber is what?
Definition
