The following are anisotropic properties except:

Correct answer: D. Melting points

  • A. Refractive Index
  • B. Thermal conductivtiy
  • C. Electrical conductivity
  • D. Melting points

Explanation

d) Melting Points: Melting point is typically not considered an anisotropic property. It is a scalar property that represents the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid phase. Anisotropy is more related to directional variations in properties.

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.
