what do you mean by white crystalline deliquescent solid?
Answers
Answer:
The solids featuring highly ordered arrangements of their particles (atoms, ions, and molecules) in microscopic structures are called crystalline solids.
These ordered microscopic structures make up a crystal lattice that accounts for the structure of the solid at any given point. Examples of crystalline solids include salt (sodium chloride), diamond, and sodium nitrate.
Deliquescence
Efflorescent substances are crystals
Deliquescent substances are called desiccants.
These substances do not form a solution.
These substances form an aqueous solution by absorbing water vapour.
These substances have no considerable affinity for water.
These substances have a very high affinity for water
These substances do not absorb water vapour
These substances can absorb a high amount of water vapour.
There is a loss of water of crystallisation in the presence of air.
Water and Carbon dioxide are absorbed, which forms solid hydrated substances.
