Crystal structure
Solids are two Types:
Amorphous solids : Amorphous solids are a type
of solid that lacks definite shape, pattern and long-
range order.
They are opposite to crystalline solids.
Amorphous solids do not have a well defined
melting point.
Crystalline solid which have a defined shape,
pattern, and long range order of their atomic
arrangement
Crystalline solid which have a defined shape,
pattern, and long range order of their atomic
arrangement
Why amorphous solids are isotropic in nature and
crystalline solids are anisotropic in nature?
In amorphous solids the arrangement of particles
is irregular in all directions hence the value of any
physical property is same along any direction.
Hence they are isotropic in nature
A crystal is a solid material that contains atoms or
groups of atoms arranged in a highly ordered
structure.
 This structural arrangement is three-dimensional
A crystalline material consists of primarily
organized crystal structure.
 The crystal is then represented as a lattice, that is, a
three-dimensional array of points (lattice points), each
which has identical surroundings
Unit cells are two types:
1.Primitive unit cell Having only corner toms
2. Non primitive/ Centered unit cell having centered atom with
corner atoms
a)Body centered
b)Face centered
c)End centered
Three axis and
angles of unit
Process of calculating packing factors and percentage of atom
economy
Various defect in crystalline structures
Two types of line defects in crystal
Thank you
