What is the main difference between crystalline and amorphous solids?
Crystalline solids have a regular and repeating atomic arrangement, while amorphous solids do not.
How do crystalline and amorphous solids differ in terms of their melting points?
Crystalline solids have a specific and sharp melting point, while amorphous solids soften over a range of temperatures.
What property distinguishes crystalline solids from amorphous solids with regard to their behavior under stress?
Crystalline solids exhibit clear cleavage when subjected to stress, while amorphous solids do not.
Which characteristic sets crystalline and amorphous solids apart with respect to their electrical conductivity?
Crystalline solids are always conductors, while amorphous solids are always insulators.
