Crystalline solids have

A

short range order

B

long range order

C

anisotropic distribution

D

no order

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Crystalline solids are anisotropic therefore their physical properties e.g., electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity , refraction index are the different in different directions. But amorphous solids, liquids and grass are isotropic (i.e. same physical properties in all directions).
