Solid-state chemists are scientists who study the synthesis, structure, properties, and behavior of solid materials. This branch of chemistry focuses specifically on solid materials, as opposed to liquids and gases. Solid-state chemistry encompasses a wide range of topics, including: 1. **Crystallography**: The study of the arrangement of atoms within crystals. This involves understanding how atoms pack together in three-dimensional structures and how these structures relate to the material's properties.
