Crystallinity
Crystallinity refers to the degree of structural order in a
solid. In a
crystal, the atoms or molecules are arranged in a regular, periodic manner. The degree of crystallinity has a big influence on
hardness,
density,
transparency and
diffusion. In a gas, the relative positions of the atoms or molecules are completely random. Amorphous materials, such as
liquids and
glasses, represent an intermediate case, having order over short distances (a few atomic or molecular spacings) but not over longer distances.
