Solid solution was a good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated.

Delisted GA[edit]

There are no references. slambo 16:54, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thats because everything was taken from http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Solid_solution —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.73.17.181 (talk) 10:26, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. absoluteastronmy.com has copied this page. Read the note on their page (below "see also"). -Unpopular Opinion (talk · contribs) 10:29, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Exsolution[edit]

I added a tag on the exsolution paragraph, since exsolution redirects here. I also sugest a little cleanup here, since it looks a bit messy, with no clear introduction and no "body". I think i will write an exsolution-article when i have enough time.Gwissi 21:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This term 'exsolution' seems to be a mainly geophysical term (considering the example given is feldspar...). What is described appears to be what is normally called precipitation from a supersaturated solid solution due to a transition to a state below the solvus on the (n-number of phases)phase diagram by physicists, chemists and material scientists. Although the term 'exsolution' is fairly descriptive for anybody with any scientific or latin knowledge, it is not the standard term in scientific literature. Also, perhaps some more common examples those from metallurgy (eg steel precipitates) might be useful. What do others think? If nobody wishes to add to this article, I am quite happy to soon, and will be able to reference everything to standard phase transformation textbooks (eg Porter & Easterling).

Sorry, just to add: the opposite of 'microscopic' is 'macroscopic', and phas transitions can be produce a myriad of new phase morphologies, not just 'lamellae'.Mike 23:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Examples?[edit]

This article seriously needs at least one example of a solid solution. I would think that hydrogen gas dissolved in e.g. palladium metal would qualify, but I'm not sure enough to put it on the page. Anyone else who could give an example of both an interstitial and a substitional solid state solution would be much appreciated. Mr0t1633 (talk) 22:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most glasses are solid solutions. they deserve a mention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cvhorie (talk • contribs) 12:14, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chemical Compound equals non Proximity of Metals[edit]

Ok maybe my english is just too bad, but this is something

"a chemical compound is generally a result of the non proximity of the two metals involved on the periodic table."

i really don't understand. To be clear: this sounds like big bullshit. I don't get the meaning of the Author, but what I read from this is something that is clearly twisted.
ummm something like what is the sound of light moving through vacuum...
Please clarify.

It now reads

a chemical compound generally results when two metals involved are not near each other on the periodic table

and "not near each other" is a good change from "non proximity", if only by using less abstract wording. As for your command of English, IMO "non proximity of the two metals involved on the periodic table" is in any case a clumsy construction that is unfair to even native speakers bcz of the ambiguity between the intended reading

when the two metals that are involved lack proximity [to each other] on the periodic table

and the nonsensical (but syntactically tempting) reading

when the two metals lack proximity, and are involved on the periodic table.

Mixed crystal (solid solution)[edit]

The IUPAC definition in the box is probably outdated. IUPAC's Gold Book does not contain any more an entry for "solid solution". The link for "solid solution" redirects to "mixed crystal (solid solution)". Gmrozz (talk) 01:29, 27 June 2018 (UTC) interesting pointMarloesPeeters (talk) 01:46, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge solvus here[edit]

The stub solvus is basically just a dictionary definition and has little chance of being expanded (WP:NOTDICT). Solvus refers specifically to the solubility limit of solid solutions, so I think it fits naturally within the scope of this article. 〈 Forbes₇₂ | Talk 〉 03:54, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How many types of solution[edit]

Atoms only or molecules too[edit]

The article begins by stating that a solid solution is a "mixture of two different kinds of atoms" ... but shouldn't molecules also be included in this definition (e.g. NaCl, KCl, as mentioned lower in the article)? Al Begamut (talk) 15:08, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
