ACTIVITY #1: Structure of Crystalline and Amorphous Solid

DIRECTIONS: Listed below are the difference between crystalline and amorphous solids. Select
your answer from the given descriptions inside the box. Write it on the appropriate column. WRITE
YOUR ANSWERS ON YOUR ANSWER SHEET.

Anisotropic in nature No unit cells Have definite It has a unit cells

geometrical shapes
Have a sharp melting
point Isotropic in nature Have an orderly Examples: glass,
arrangement of their plastic, coal, and
They do not have any Examples: Quartz, constituent particles rubber
definite geometry fluorite and sugar
Do not have definite melting
Short range order of Consists of a number points but melt over a wide
arrangement of particles is of constituent particles range temperature because
present arranged in a random of the irregular shape
manner
Long-range of arrangement
of particles is present.
