    The document differentiates between crystalline and amorphous materials. Crystalline materials have a highly ordered arrangement of particles that gives them a definite geometric shape with sharp melting points, while amorphous materials have an irregular, random arrangement that lacks a specific shape and has a range of melting temperatures. Figure 1 depicts the ordered arrangement of particles in crystalline materials, while Figure 2 shows the irregular arrangement in amorphous materials.

    Lesson 1

    Activity 1

    3. Illustrate and differentiate crystalline and amorphous materials.


    Crystalline solids are known for having highly ordered arrangements of their
    particles (ions, molecules, and atoms) whereas amorphous solids have irregular
    shape. The figure below best describes it shape and arrangements.

    Crystalline Amorphous

    Figure 1

    Figure 2
    Figure 1 and 2 shows that crystalline have firm and definite shape while amorphous do not have
    geometric shape.
