Answer 1

Answer:

Difference Between Crystalline and Amorphous Solids

Crystals have an orderly arrangement of their constituent particles. In comparison, amorphous solids have no such arrangement. Their particles are randomly organised. Crystalline solids cleavage (break) along particular points and directions.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) Crystalline solid : A homogeneous solid in which the constituent particles like atoms, ions or molecules are aranged in a delinmte repeating pattern throughout the solid is called crystalline solid. For example, NaCl, KNO,, etc.

(2) Amorphous solid: A substance which appears like solid but does not have perfectly ordered crystalline structure and no regular arrangement of constituent particles in structure is called amorphous solid. For exarmple, glass, rubber, plastics, etc.
