The constituents of a crystalline solid structure are arranged spatially in a regular and repetitive manner giving a completely ordered structure. This highly ordered arrangement is always accompanied by a lowering of potential energy and hence energy in form of heat is required to convert it into liquid. This ordered arrangement normally shows a smaller volume and lower compressibility factor than the liquids.
