2Answer
| **Feature** | **Crystalline Solid** | **Amorphous Solid** |
|---------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
| **Definition** | Particles arranged in a regular, repeating 3D lattice. | Particles lack long-range order; random arrangement. |
| **Melting Point** | Sharp, definite melting point. | Softens over a range of temperatures. |
| **Cleavage** | Cleaves along definite planes. | No definite cleavage planes. |
| **Isotropy/Anisotropy** | Anisotropic (properties vary with direction). | Isotropic (properties same in all directions). |
| **Example** | Sodium chloride (NaCl). | Glass. |
