'Anisotropy' is a property of crystal based on its -------
Correct answer: C. Physical Properties
- A. Chemical Properties
- B. Lattice Structure
- C. Physical Properties
- D. Density
Explanation
Option C is correct since some crystals show variation in physical properties depending upon their direction of cleavage. Such properties are called 'Anisotropic Properties'. For example: refractive index, and electric and thermal conductivities.

About Crystalline Solids
Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
