The Solid State Crystals and symmetry Unit cells and packing Types of solid Phase diagrams Solids tend to be regular At equilibrium an atom will tend to occupy the position of lowest energy (highest stability) One position will be more stable than any others If one atom occupies this position then all the other atoms will occupy the same position All atoms occupy the same position and a regular lattice evolves Amorphous solids have no regular structure and tend to be metastable or unstable Four solids Probing crystal structures Light is scattered by objects that are larger than the wavelength
