Difference Between Amorphous and Crystalline Solids

All materials can be categorized into three main states based on their nature of molecular aggregation; these categories are called solids, liquids, and gasses. Gasses and liquids are quite different from solids since they have no definite shape and take the shape of the container in which they are placed. Unlike gasses and liquids, solids have a definite three-dimensional shape with the most complex form of a molecular aggregate. Moreover, solids are relatively more hard, dense and strong in keeping their shape. Unlike gasses and liquids, solids are not much affected by the changes in temperature or pressure. In addition, solids possess a wide range of mechanical and physical properties including electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, strength, hardness, toughness, etc. Because of these properties, solids are used in various applications in the fields of engineering, construction, automotive, fabrication etc. Solids mainly exist in two types: amorphous and crystalline. The...
