Molecules in Solids
Having their own shape is a characteristic feature of solids sincc they have their own shape rather than that of the container (as for liquids and gases) and generally do not flow, the extent of molccular motion in a solid is even more limited than that in a liquid. True solids arc crystalline, bounded by plane surfaces that meet in a definite dihedral angle, and have a characteristic melting point. The molcculcs in a solid have the same temperature, and if they arc molcculcs of the same

substancc, they arc moving at the same average velocity, the motion of molcculcs in a solid must be confined, and, probably, it is a vibration or oscillation about a fixed point.
Crystals composed of molcculcs may evaporate in a manner similar to that of liquids. This phenomenon is callcd sublimation, and it may.be noticcd in solid carbon dioxide (dry icc), paradichlorobcnzcnc, camphor, and many odorous solids. Non-molccular solids show little tendency to sublime. The Van dcr Waals force between the particles in molecular solids is, apparently, less in general than the coulomb forces between ions in non-molccular solids. As with liquids, solids vary greatly in their tendency to sublime, and the rate of sublimation varies with the temperature and inversely with the pressure. In some solids the ciystal is composed of molcculcs in a pattern that repeats.

1. 
   Liquids and gases usually have the form of their container.
   

2. 
   Characteristic feature of solids is that they have their own form.
   
3. 
   Crystalline solids cannot evaporate like liquids. 4. Sublimation is the evaporation of solids. 5. The rate of sublimation increases with the rise of the temperature and the pressure. 6. Planar structure of the carbon atoms in graphite makes its properties different from those of a diamond.
