Choose the anisotropic behavior

Correct answer: A. Coefficient of thermal expansion

  • A. Coefficient of thermal expansion
  • B. Lattice energy
  • C. Viscosity
  • D. Infrared spectroscopy

Explanation

Anisotropy is the property of a material which allows it to change or assume different properties in different directions so the correct option is A i.e coefficient of thermal expansion as there are 3 coefficients i.e for volume, area and linear expansion

About Crystalline and Amorphous Solids

Crystalline solids have a regular, repeating lattice and a sharp melting point, while amorphous solids lack long-range order and soften over a temperature range. The topic covers unit cells, anisotropy, cleavage, symmetry and examples such as salts, metals, glass and plastics. Crystalline order must not be confused with mere hardness.
