Crystalline solids
1. The internal arrangement of particles is well defined. The molecules are lined up in a very particular order.
2. They possess sharp melting points.
3. NaCl and NaF are examples of Crystalline solids.

Amorphous solids
1- The internal arrangement of particles is not well defined. Molecules are not in a particular arrangement. There is no regularity in their form.
2. They do not possess sharp melting points.
3. Glass, rubber and plastics are examples of Amorphous solids..
