What are crystalline solids?

Answer by  Sharyq1 (63)

A Crystalline Solid is a solid whose atoms, molecules or ions are arranged in an orderly pattern which constantly repeats giving it a crystalline shape. Ionic crystalline solids have high melting and boiling points but cannot usually conduct electricity while solid. Molecular crystalline solids have low melting and boiling points.

A crystalline solid may start off as a precipitate in a chemical reaction, when the liquid is removed by either filtration or boiling, it will leave the crystalline solid.
