Explanation of Solution

Introduction: The atomic structure describes the arrangement of the subatomic particles in an atom, whereas the crystal structure describes the arrangement of atoms or molecules in a crystalline compound.

Explanation:

The atomic structure describes the arrangement of the subatomic particles in an atom. It is a complex structure. In this structure, proton and neutrons are present together and the electrons are present orbiting around them. This forms the structure of an atom. The overall structure is the same for all atoms.

The crystal structure describes the arrangement of atoms or molecules in a crystalline compound. It is a well organized lattice structure. Crystalline structures are composed of the cations and anions. The crystal structures are different from each other.

Conclusion:

The difference between the atomic structure and crystalline structure is described on the basis of structure and components.

Write a Java Program to manage student information of a university. The Javaprogram does the following steps:a) The program must use single-dimensional arrays to store the studentinformation such as Student ID, Name and Major.b) The program asks the user to provide the number of students.c) The program asks the user to enter the Student IDs for the number of studentsand stores them.d) The program asks the user to enter the corresponding names for the numberof students and stores them.e) The program then asks the user to provide the corresponding major for thestudents and stores them.f) The program then should display the following options:1. ID Search2. Major Enrollment3. Exitg) On selecting option 1, the user can search for a student using Student ID. Theprogram asks the user to enter a Student ID. It then should print thecorresponding student’s details such as Name and Major if the user providedStudent ID number is present in the stored data. If the user’s Student IDnumber does not…
