A crystalline solid is a homogeneous solid in which the constituent particles, atoms, ions or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern. OR The substance whose constituent particles (atoms, ions or molecules) are arranged in a definite geometric pattern in three dimensional space is called crystalline solid. Crystalline solids have long range order in which a large number of small crystals (unit cells) repeat periodically over the entire crystal. A unit cell is a basic repeating structural unit of a crystalline solid and it has a regular pattern or arrangement of particles. Crystalline solids have an arrangement that ensures maximum total intermolecular force of attraction
