The variation in physical properties of a crystal due to direction is called
Correct answer: C. anisotropy
- A. isotropy
- B. entropy
- C. anisotropy
- D. none of these
Explanation
Anisotropy is the property of a material that allows it to change or assume different properties in different directions, as opposed to isotropy. It can be defined as a difference, when measured along different axes, in a material's physical or mechanical 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.
