The temperature at which one crystalline form changes to another is called _ temperature.

Correct answer: C. Transition

  • A. Critical
  • B. Absolute
  • C. Transition
  • D. None of these options is correct

Explanation

Option A: The critical temperature refers to the temperature above which a substance cannot exist as a liquid, regardless of the pressure. This is commonly seen in the context of supercritical fluids.Option B: The absolute temperature is a temperature scale that is based on absolute zero, the theoretical temperature at which all matter would have zero thermal energy. This temperature scale is commonly used in scientific applications.Option C: At the 'Transition temperature' a material changes from one allotropic crystal state to another. To be more specific, at the 'Transition temperature', two crystalline forms of a substance can co-exist in equilibrium.Option D: "None of these options is correct" is also incorrect as the correct answer is (C) Transition.

About Crystalline Solids

Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
