NEETChemistrySolid State
In amorphous solids, are their properties such as mechanical strength, refractive index, and electrical conductivity the same in all directions?
Options
- AYes, they are the same in all directions.
- BNo, they vary in different directions.
- CThey are not mentioned in the paragraph.
- DOnly mechanical strength is the same in all directions.
Correct answer
A. Yes, they are the same in all directions.
Step-by-step solution
In amorphous solids, properties like mechanical strength, refractive index, and electrical conductivity are the same in all directions because of their isotropic nature, as stated in the paragraph.
