Which from the following statements is NOT true regarding crystalline solid?
- A There is a regularity and periodicity in arrangement of constituent particles.
- B It is isotropic.
- C It melts at definite temperature.
- D It has different magnitudes for refractive index in every direction.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) It is isotropic.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
All crystalline substances except those having cubic structure are anisotropic, i.e., their properties like refractive index, thermal and electrical conductivity, etc., are different in different directions.
