Chemistry Question on classification of solids
The sharp melting point of crystalline solids is due to ________.
A
a regular arrangement of constituent particles observed over a short distance in the crystal lattice
B
a regular arrangement of constituent particles observed over a long distance in the crystal lattice
C
same arrangement of constituent particles in different directions
D
different arrangement of constituent particles in different directions
Answer
a regular arrangement of constituent particles observed over a long distance in the crystal lattice
Explanation
Solution
Crystalline solid has regular arrangement of particles observed over a long distance in the crystal. Due to this regular arrangement it have sharp melting point.
