Solids that have particles arranged in a regular, repeating patterns are known as crystalline solids.

a. True

b. False

Crystalline solids are solids that have particles arranged in a regular, repeating patterns. They are held together by uniform intermolecular forces. The faces intersect at a specific angle that identifies that substance. They have distinctive internal structures that in turn lead to distinctive flat surfaces. These flat surfaces give a short rage order. When exposed to x - ray diffractometers, they exhibit a distinctive pattern used to identify the material. They give the same face when you turn a crystalline solid around.
