Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Solids in which constituent atoms or ions or molecules are arranged in a definite, regular and repeated three dimensional pattern are called crystalline solids.
Single crystal. If the periodicity of the pattern extends throughout the length of the crystal then crystal is called a single crystal.
Polycrystal: A crystalline solid in which each piece of the solid has a number of monocrystals grouped together is known as polycrystal.
