Difference between amorphous and crystalline solid
Crystalline solids and amorphous solids are the two form of the solid. Crystalline and amorphous solid have different physical and chemical property. There is so many difference between the amorphous solid and crystalline solid.
Here the list of difference between amorphous and crystalline solid.
Amorphous Solid
|
Crystalline Solid
|
|
Definition
|
Amorphous solid does not have definite geometry. The molecules are randomly scattered.
|
Crystalline solid are the solid in which molecule are arranged in ordered and repeating pattern
|
arrangement
|
Molecules are not properly arrange
|
Molecules are orderly arranged and form the lattice.
|
Example
|
Plastic, Glass
|
Diamond, graphite
|
Solubility
|
Crystalline solid have low solubility corresponding to amorphous solid
|
Amorphous solid have highly soluble corresponding to crystalline Solid.
|
Symmetry
|
amorphous solids are unsymmetrical
|
Crystalline solid is symmetrical
|
Melting point
|
Amorphous solid have melting range. To measure exact melting range is difficult
|
Crystalline solid have sharp melting point. Exact melting point can be measured.
|
Property
|
Amorphous solid have isotropic property
|
Crystalline solid have anisotropic property.
