Question

explain crystalline solids



explain amorphous. solids.

Answer 1

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

AMORPHOUS SOLID-
In condensed matter physics and materials science, an amorphous or non-crystalline solid is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal. In some older books, the term has been used synonymously with glass.

Answer 2

Amorphous solids
- Have irregular shape.
- Have only short range order arrangement of constituents particles.
- Gradually soften over a range of temperature.
- Do not have definite heat of fusion.


crystalline solids
-Have definite characteristics geometric shape.
- Have long range order arrangement of constituents particles.
- Hard sharp and characteristics melting point.
