Solid Lecture 1

The document discusses the definition and types of solids, specifically focusing on crystals which have a regular periodic arrangement of atoms. It categorizes crystals into two main types: single crystals and polycrystals. Additionally, it outlines the seven crystal systems: Triclinic, Monoclinic, Orthorhombic, Trigonal, Hexagonal, Tetragonal, and Cubic.

Crystal:
A crystal may be defined as a solid having a regular
periodic arrangement of atoms, groups of atoms or
molecules in which the atoms are arranged by infinite
repetition of identical structure units in three
dimensions.
