i have a doubt in solid state regarding the anisotropic properties of crystalline solids
in ncert it is written that crystalline solids having long range order (structures which show same pattern of arrangement over a long region in the crystal) show anisotropic properties but according to be the properties should be even because the structure is uniform as written in the ncert, concluding that crystalline solids should rather show isotropic properties due to presence of long range order structure and amorphous solids should show anisotropic properties due to presence of short range order structure
-thanks in advance (ping when helping)

Note for OP
+solved @user to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the user who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.sir i know what is isotropic and anisotropic but i dont get the logic which ncert gives because if the structure is uniform in crystalline solids then the properties should be uniform as well na?
Chemistry Stack Exchange
Why are crystalline solids anisotropic?
Why crystalline solids are anisotropic whereas amorphous solids are isotropic?
Is it because in crystalline solids, X, Y and Z dimensions vary, but so does in amorphous.
Please write as simple as
yeah so thats what im asking sir if the structure of a crystal is uniform everywhere then why arent their properties uniform?
Cos the axes me alag honge
according to your statement then amourphous solids dont have axial symmetry as well then why are the isotropic in properties?
Cos no order 🙂
So there is a mix of everything
Graphite is the easist to understand.
There is order. But because of the shape/size etc only one direction elec flows
oh okay i think i understand thanks, sorry for the trouble

Read zumdahl when you have time. Helps with basics like these
oh yes the same pic is in ncert as well
awesome
