Difference between the structure of candle wax and that of ice.
Answer to Problem 46SSC
Candle wax is a type of amorphous solid whereas ice is a type of crystalline solid.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Solid is a
Mainly there are two types of solids: Crystalline and amorphous solids.
Crystalline solids are ordered at atomic level whereas amorphous solids have disordered arrangement of atoms.
Difference in the shape of candle wax and ice is that candle wax is a type of amorphous solid. It means that atoms or particles in candle have disordered arrangement. Whereas ice is a type of crystalline solid as molecules are in crystal lattice.
Conclusion:Hence, candle wax is an amorphous solid. Ice is a crystalline solid.
