This document discusses the differences between crystalline and amorphous solids. Crystalline solids have atoms, ions, or molecules ordered in well-defined arrangements, usually with flat surfaces and sharp angles giving them regular shapes. Examples include ice, sugar, salt, and gems. Amorphous solids do not have orderly particle structures, so they have poorly-defined, irregular shapes.
