Crystalline solids exhibit cleavage: that is, when you break them, the nature of the break indicates the crystal structure. Thus, grinding a crystal of NaCl (which is cubic) inevitably produces small cubes of NaCl. Noncrystalline solids such as glass break into randomly-shaped pieces.
Noncrystalline solids such as glass soften as the temperature increases and have no sharply defined melting point. On the other hand, quartz, which has the same chemical composition as glass but is crystalline, melts sharply at around 1650 degrees Celsius.

In a crystalline solid, the atoms are arranged in a regular pattern; in an amorphous solid, the atoms are arranged at random.
Amorphous solid:a solid with considerable disorder in its structure.Crystalline solid: solids with highly regular arrangements of their components. There are three types of crystalline solids; ionic, molecular, and atomic.
Crystalline solids have particles that are arranged in a regular pattern and amorphous solids do not
Waxes are not crystalline solids.
the difference between crystalline solids and amorphous solids are that particles in crystalline solids form a regular repeating pattern but in amorphous solids they are not arranged in a regular shapeCrystals are solids with fixed, regularpatterns

Crystalline solids have a particular geometric organization of their atoms. Amorphous solids do not.
Crystalline solids have particles that are arranged in a regular pattern and amorphous solids do not
because amorphous solids are that solids that don't have geometrical shape and don't have particular melting point but crystalline solids have characterstic geometrical shape and have sharp melting point.
crystalline solids
Rubber and glass which become softer as they are heated are examples of crystalline solids
Waxes are not crystalline solids.
There are four types of crystalline solids. The four types of crystalline solids includes the ionic solid, molecular solids, atomic solids and the metallic solids.
Crystalline particles form a regular repeating pattern, also when a crystalline solid is heated it melts at a specific temperature. Amorphous particles are not arranged in a regular pattern, and when it is heated, it may become softerand softer or change into other substances.
