Question

For a given solid, the following arrangement of particles is observed :


Choose the property that is represented by the above arrangement of solid particles along AB and CD direction :

• A. Amorphous nature
• B. Isotropy
• C. None of the above
• D. Anisotropy

Answer 1

The correct option is D Anisotropy

Anisotropy:
A property of solids, by which they show variation of physical properties with directions.

In the given figure, the arrangement pattern of atoms in A-B direction is different from C-D direction. So, the properties of the material will be different in A-B and C-D direction. This is called anisotropy.
So, the correct answer is option B. ​
