The anhydrous barium chloride has an orthogonal crystalline structure.
CaCl2 forms an ionic crystalline solid because it is composed of positively charged calcium ions (Ca2+) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-), which arrange in a repeating pattern to form a crystal lattice structure held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.
Copper is a metal & solid
Sugar is a molecular solid
It forms a face-centered cubic crystals. Under pressure these change to hexagonal close packed (hcp) crystals.
Pure water forms a crystalline solid when it freezes, known as ice. Ice has a hexagonal crystal structure, where water molecules arrange themselves in a repeating pattern, creating the solid form we commonly see.
Solid barium chloride is obtained as orthogonal crystals (for the anhudrous salt).

Glass is an amorphous substance. Solids can be crystalline or amorphous, so it depends to which type of solid we are comparing glass with.
