Question

Which substane have lattice structure in solid state chemistry?

Answer 1

The lattice of crystalline quartz (SiO2). The atoms form a regular arrangement in a structure that consists of linked tetrahedra. In an amorphous solid, the local environment, including both the distances to neighboring units and the numbers of neighbors, varies throughout the material.

Answer 2

Almost any substance can solidify in amorphous form if the liquid phase is cooled rapidly enough. Some solids, however, are intrinsically amorphous, because either their components cannot fit together well enough to form a stable crystalline lattice or they contain impurities that disrupt the lattice.
