1. Crystalline solids are the constituent particles which have regular arrangement whereas Amorphous solids are those which do not have regular arrangement. 2. Crystalline solids have long range order whereas Amorphous solids have short range order. 3. Crystalline solids have sharp melting point whereas Amorphous solids melt over a wide range of temperature. 4. Crystalline solids are anisotropic (substances having different properties and different values in different directions). Where as Amorphous solids are isotropic.

Crystals have an orderly arrangement of their constituent particles. In comparison, amorphous solids have no such arrangement. Their particles are randomly organised.
Crystals have a specific geometric shape with definite edges. Amorphous solids have no geometry in their shapes
Crystalline solids have a sharp melting point on which they will definitely melt. An amorphous solid will have a range of temperature over which it will melt, but no definite temperature as such
Crystals have a long order arrangement of their particles. This means the particles will show the same arrangement indefinitely. Amorphous solids have a short order arrangement. Their particles show a lot of variety in their arrangement.

Crystalline solid are arrange in regular way but amphorphus solid are arrange in irregular way
