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.
