STRUCTURE: With regards to Crystalline STRUCTURE: The particles of the Amorphous

long and short range of its other particles. Structure, there is no coherent and definite
arrangement, resulting to a shorter range of
order in contrast with the Crystalline Solid’s.
MELTING POINTS: Crystalline Solids have MELTING POINTS: Amorphous solids, on
sharp melting points, enabling it to change into the other hand, do not have sharp melting
liquid substance or state at distinct and definite points. In this case, they are thought to be
temperatures. liquids at all temperatures. When heated, they
do not quickly change into liquid state, instead,
they become more semisolid, softer, and more
flowy in characteristics.
COOLING CHARACTERISTICS: Graphing COOLING CHARACTERISTICS: When
the cooling characteristics of a crystalline solid, graphed, the amorphous solids’ cooling
would result to two points that would break characteristics would result to a smooth curve.
along the curve. The break points indicate to
beginning and the end of the crystallization
process, at which the temperature is constant.
EXTERNAL: The external forms of the EXTERNAL: There is no observable external
crystals have regular pattern regularity on amorphous solids
CUT: When cut, crystals give off a cleaner CUT: Irregular cuts and edges will be present
surface on the surface of the amorphous solids when cut
by sharp knife, giving a rough look.
HEAT OF FUSION: Crystalline solids HEAT OF FUSION: Do not have specific heat
possesses definite heat of fusion of fusion
RIGIDITY: Crystalline solids are naturally RIGIDITY: Amorphous solids, on the other
rigid, hence, distorting forces cannot deform its hand, do not have any intrinsic rigidity. Hence,
structure deformity can be achieved through compression
or bending
NATURE: Crystalline solids are considered as NATURE: Amorphous, on the other hand, is
true solids. considered as pseudo solids, for they are liquids
that are supercooled.
ISOTROPY AND ANISOTROPY: ISOTROPY AND ANISOTROPY:
Crystalline solids have anisotropic nature, for Amorphous solids are close to the
the characteristics of it differ depending on the characteristics of liquid. Just like liquids,
direction or portions of it amorphous conveys electrical conductivity,
thermal conductivity, reflexive index,
mechanical strength, and so on, which remain
on one coherent direction thus, amorphous is an
isotropic one.
