Q

What can you say about crystalline solids ?

A

They have definite shape. They have long range order. They have sharp melting points. Their Enthalpy of fusion is definite. They are hard and rigid solids. They possess definite crystal system. They are true solids. They are malleable and ductile.

Q

What do you know about amorphous solids ?

A

They do not have definite geometrical shape. They have short range order. They do not have sharp melting point. Entalpy of fusion is not definite. They are comparatively soft and not very rigid. They have crystal system absent. They are pseudo solids. They are isotopic.
