Answer:-
Amorphous solids
- 1. There is only a short range order in amorphous solids
- 2. Amorphous solids do not have a sharp melting point; they are softened in a range of temperature.
- 3. Amorphous solids undergo irregular or conchoidal breakage.
- 4. Amorphous solids are isotrophic-the properties will be independent of the direction in which they are measured.
- 5. Less rigid.
Examples of Amorphous solids: Fibre glass, Cellophane, Teflon, Polyurethane, Naphthalene, Polyvinyl chloride
Crystalline solids
- 1. There is a long range order in crystals.
- 2. Melt at a sharp temperature.
- 3. Crystalline solids can be cleaved along definite planes.
- 4. Crystalline solids, in general are anisotrophic (It means that, their properties such as electrical conductivity, refractive index, thermal expansion etc. will be different directions).
- 5. More rigid.
Examples of Crystalline solids: Copper, Potassium nitrate, Benzoic acid
