Questions and Answers

What are the two types of solids mentioned in the text?

  • Metallic and covalent
  • Crystalline and amorphous (correct)
  • Regular and irregular
  • Solid and liquid
  • What characteristic property do crystalline solids exhibit in terms of the arrangement of constituent particles?

  • Random arrangement
  • Arrangement changes with temperature
  • Periodic and ordered arrangement (correct)
  • No specific arrangement
  • Why do crystalline solids have sharp melting points according to the text?

  • As a result of long-range ordered arrangement (correct)
  • Due to random arrangement of particles
  • Melting point is not relevant to the arrangement
