Multiple Choice

Which of the following are properties of crystalline solid?

AIsotropic
BSharp melting point
Correct Answer
CLong range order
Correct Answer
DDefinite regular geometry
Correct Answer

Solution

Crystalline solids are anisotropic in nature, so option 1 is incorrect.

Crystals tend to have relatively sharp, well-defined melting points because all the component atoms, molecules, or ions are the same distance from the same number and type of neighbours.

Crystalline solids have a long-range order which means that there is a regular pattern of arrangement of particles which repeats itself periodically over the entire crystal.

It has a definite regular geometry.

Hence, option B, C and D are correct.
