Crystalline Solids | Amorphous Solids |
---|---|
1. They have definite and regular geometry due to definite and orderly arrangement of atoms, ions or molecules in three dimensional space. | 1. They do not have any pattern of arrangement of atoms, ions or molecules and thus, do not have any definite geometrical shape. |
2. They have sharp melting points and change abruptly into liquids. | 2. Amorphous solids do not have sharp melting points and do not change abruptly into liquids. |
