What are the differences between amorphous and crystalline solids? give an example of each.

orderly arrangement of particles

Explanation:

In a crystaline solid, the particles that compose the solid are arranged or packed in an orderly manner to form a three dimensional crystal lattice with a defined structure. Sodium chloride is a crystaline solid.

In an amorphous solid, the particles that compose the solid aren't arranged in an orderly manner hence the solid tends to be brittle, e.g glass

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
