what are crystalline solids?

• solids whos particles are arranged in an orderly geometric pattern such as salt ,diamonds and sugar.

• solids that have their particles randomly distributed without any long-range pattern such as plastic, glass and charcoal.

• soilds that have their particles cosely packs and they move around.
