Question

Consider the following phase diagram of water. The temperature and pressure scales are greatly reduced (and are non-linear) 
-Consider the following model.  This substance would most likely be classified as what type of solid?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The model shown in the diagram appears to have a repeating pattern of atoms, suggesting that it is a crystalline solid. Amorphous solids, on the other hand, lack this repeating pattern and therefore have a more disordered structure. Allotropes refer to different forms of the same element (such as diamond and graphite both being allotropes of carbon), while nanotubes are a specific type of nanomaterial with a tube-like shape. Therefore, B) crystalline is the best choice.
