In bulk, they look a lot like liquid soap; many liquid crystals are made of materials that chemically are a lot like soap.

What is the difference between solid crystals and liquid crystals?

Solid crystals have a fixed, ordered arrangement of molecules or atoms, while liquid crystals have a partially ordered structure that can flow like a liquid but still exhibit some properties of a solid. Solid crystals have a defined melting point where they transition to a liquid state, while liquid crystals have a range of temperatures over which they exhibit liquid-like and solid-like properties.

What unusual property do liquid crystals have when they melt?

Liquid crystals start to flow during the melting phase similar to a liquid, but they do not lose their ordered arrangement completely, as most substances do. Liquid crystals will retain their geometric order in specific directions.


What property makes liquid crystals ususual?

Liquid crystals are unusual because they exhibit properties of both liquids and crystals. They have a distinct molecular ordering like crystals, but are able to flow and change orientation like liquids. This enables them to switch between different phases and exhibit unique optical properties.

How do liquids and liquid crystals differ?

Liquid crystals are certain long chain organic chemicals that, although liquid they have a strong tendency to align in "crystal like" arrays. Normal liquids have no (or very little) order, liquid crystals have order approaching that of solid crystals. Liquid crystals are useful in electronics (displays), temperature sensing (indicators), and other technologies because application of various stresses (e.g. electric field, heat) cause them to change their "crystal" properties in ways that solid crystals can't. These changes can then usually be made visible.
