Interpretation:
The meaning of crystalline material should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Materials or specifically solid materials could be classified as crystalline materials or amorphous materials base on the existence of any orderly arrangement of their constituent particles.
Answer to Problem 3.1P
Materials whose ions, atoms are present in an organized configuration are crystalline materials.
Explanation of Solution
Crystalline materials are those materials whose molecules or atoms have an organized or structured configuration. This configuration spreads across the three spatial dimensions. This also determines the shape of the material as well as its other properties. Through macroscopic geometrical shapes, the large crystals are recognizable. They have plane faces with accurate representative orientations.
Some examples of crystalline materials include diamond, snowflake.
Thus, the crystalline materials have organized configurations.
