Crystalline vs

Crystalline solids have a regular and repeating arrangement of particles, sharp melting points, and long-range order. Examples include table salt (NaCl), sugar (C12H22O11), copper, and diamond.

Amorphous solids lack a regular arrangement of particles, have no sharp melting point, and do not exhibit long-range order. Examples include plastic, metallic glass, tar, and asphalt.

Crystalline solids have a regular and repeating arrangement of particles with a sharp melting point, while amorphous solids lack a regular arrangement and do not have a sharp melting point.
