Answers
Answer:
Crystalline solids possess a definite and regular geometry and consist of both long-range as well as short-range order of its constituent particles whereas The particles of the constituents in the amorphous solids are arranged irregularly. They do not possess any kind of definite geometry and have a shorter range order.
Crystalline solids tend to have high and distinct melting points whereas Amorphous solids do not have sharp melting points.
Crystalline solids tend to show anisotropism whereas Amorphous solids tend to show isotropism.
The mild distorting forces cannot deform the crystalline solids since they are very rigid in nature whereas Amorphous solids, on the other hand, do not possess any rigidity. The deformation could be achieved even by bending or compressing them.
