How does the arrangement of atoms in a crystalline substance differ from that in non-crystalline substance?

Crystalline solids exhibit cleavage: that is, when you break them, the nature of the break indicates the crystal structure. Thus, grinding a crystal of NaCl (which is cubic) inevitably produces small cubes of NaCl. Noncrystalline solids such as glass break into randomly-shaped pieces.
Noncrystalline solids such as glass soften as the temperature increases and have no sharply defined melting point. On the other hand, quartz, which has the same chemical composition as glass but is crystalline, melts sharply at around 1650 degrees Celsius.

How do crystalline and amorphous solids differ?
In a crystalline solid, the particles are arranged in a regular pattern. In an amorphous solid, they are not.
How do crystalline solids differ from amorphus solids?
Crystalline solids have particles that are arranged in a regular pattern and amorphous solids do not
How does what happens to the particles in a substance during melting differ from what happens in freezing?
Its the degree of attachment between the molecules of the substance: frozen (solid) the arrangement is fixed. melted (liquid) the arrangement is loose enough to be modified by gravity. evaporated: (gas) the attachment becomes insignificant.
How do monosaccharides differ?
They differ in 1) The # of Carbons 2) The location of the C=O carbonyl group, and 3) The arrangement of parts about the Carbons
How does a thickener differ from clarifier?
Thickener of any substance adds to the substance making it more or bigger. Clarifier removes impurities or extra elements from the substance.
How atorvastatin crystalline differ from atorvastatin amorphous?
No.
Are carbon and graphite same material?
Yes. Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. Allotropes are composed of the same element but the arrangement differs. Diamond and fullerenes are also allotropes of carbon. Allotropes of carbon differ in the arrangement of the carbon atoms. The structure of graphite enables it to be used in pencils (the "lead") and as a lubricant, but the arrangement of carbon in diamond makes it the hardest substance known on the earth.
How do crystalline and amorphous solids differ?
In a crystalline solid, the particles are arranged in a regular pattern. In an amorphous solid, they are not.
How do crystalline solids differ from amorphus solids?
Crystalline solids have particles that are arranged in a regular pattern and amorphous solids do not
The number and arrangement of electrons determines?
The chemical nature of the substance. The rare earths all have a similar 'outer shell', and differ only in their 'inner shells', hence the similarity of many of their properties.
How do crystalline solids differ from amorphous?
the difference between crystalline solids and amorphous solids are that particles in crystalline solids form a regular repeating pattern but in amorphous solids they are not arranged in a regular shapeCrystals are solids with fixed, regularpatterns
