Answer: What is the difference between a crystalline solid

Solution 6Q

Difference between a crystalline solid and an amorphous solid

Step 1:

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

Step 2 :

An amorphous solid does not have a definite geometric or crystalline shape.  An amorphous solid is any non crystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern. Such solids include glass, plastic, and gel.
