How many types of solids are there:
Correct answer: B. 2
- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 3
- D. 4
Explanation
Solids are classified into two main contrasting categories:Crystalline(regular, repeating, three dimensional structure)and Amorphous(random, non repeating arrangement; oftencalled pseudo solids or supercooled liquids).

About Physics of Solids
Solids are compared through crystal structure, amorphous arrangement, elasticity, plastic deformation, stress, strain and Young’s modulus. Electrical behavior depends on available charge carriers and band structure, so conductors, insulators and semiconductors must be distinguished from mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness and brittleness.
