Difference between Crystal and Polymorphism (materials science)

Crystal vs. Polymorphism (materials science)

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions. In materials science, polymorphism is the ability of a solid material to exist in more than one form or crystal structure.

Similarities between Crystal and Polymorphism (materials science)

Crystal and Polymorphism (materials science) have 20 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allotropy, Amorphous solid, Aragonite, Calcite, Cocrystal, Crystal habit, Crystal structure, Crystallization, Crystallographic defect, Cubic crystal system, Diffraction, Dislocation, Hexagonal crystal family, Materials science, Metal, Polyamorphism, Polymer, Quartz, Space group, Temperature.

Allotropy

Allotropy or allotropism is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms, in the same physical state, known as allotropes of these elements.

Amorphous solid

In condensed matter physics and materials science, an amorphous (from the Greek a, without, morphé, shape, form) or non-crystalline solid is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal.
