Solid-state chemistry

The solid-state chemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the representation, the structure, the properties and applications of materials in the solid state ( solid ).

Most of these are in the solid state inorganic compounds. Many solids are present in crystalline form, which is characterized by the periodic three-dimensional array of smaller building blocks (atoms, ions, molecules). However, builders are amorphous solids, such as glasses, the subject of solid state chemistry. Typical examples of inorganic solids include minerals, salts, metals, and alloys.

The elucidation of the microscopic structure and their relation to macroscopic properties is an important task of solid state chemistry constitutes a sharp demarcation of the solid state chemistry of the solid state physics and materials science and mineralogy, metallurgy and crystallography is not readily possible.
