Which of the following is isotropic property?
Correct answer: D. Metallic conduction
- A. Refractive index
- B. Coefficient of thermal expansion
- C. Cleavage
- D. Metallic conduction
Explanation
Metallic conduction (Option D) is an example of an isotropic property. Isotropic properties are those that exhibit the same value or behavior in all directions. In metallic conduction, the movement of electrons through a metal is not affected by the direction in which they travel within the material. Electrons move freely and uniformly in all directions within a metal, making metallic conduction an isotropic property.

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.
