Q:
Which of the following can be used to describe a crystalline solid?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) Homogeneous, anisotropic
Explanation: Homogeneity refers to uniformity in composition, which is a characteristic property of crystalline solids. Isotropy is when the values of physical properties do not change with direction throughout the body of the solid. Crystalline solids are anisotropic because the composition of the solid changes with direction, hence the physical properties also change with direction.
