Question

How can anyone differentiate crystalline and amorphous solids?

• A. On the basis of arrangement of particles
• B. On the basis of number of particles.
• C. On the basis of size of particles.
• D. On the basis of types of atoms.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

On the basis of arrangement of particles

In a crystalline solid, there is a regular arrangement of particles that will result in a well defined crystal array. In an amorphous solid, there is no regular arrangement of particles.
