Answer:
Anisotropy is defined as the property of a substance to show variations in physical properties along different molecular axes.
- It is usually observed in crystals and liquid crystals – it is less commonly seen in liquids.
Additional Information:
Metallic crystalline structures are formed of metal cations (positively charged) surrounded by a so-called ‘sea’ of mobile valence electrons (these can also be called delocalized electrons, in which, they do not belong to any one specific atom, but are still able to move throughout the entire crystal structure).
Anisotropic properties include: -
- Hardness / cleavability
- Elasticity, expansion properties
- Electric / thermal conductivity
- Electric polarizability, magnetization
