Question

Write any two differences between amorphous solids and crystalline solids.

Answer 1

Amorphous solids	Crystalline solids
Short range order	Long range order
Isotropic	Anisotropic

Detailed Answer :

S.No.	Amorphous solids	Crystalline solids
(a)	They have short range order i.e., there is a regular arrangement of constituent particles over a short distance.	They have long range order i.e., there is a regular arrangement of constituent particles over a long distance.
(b)	They are isotropic i.e., show identical electrical and optical properties in all directions.	They are anisotropic i.e., show different electrical and optical properties in all directions.
