Answer:

long range order

Explanation:

A crystal consists of atoms, ions or molecules having both short range and long range order. The atoms, ions or molecules are arranged in a regular pattern throughout the lattice both at immediate vicinities and across the entire crystal structure.

This order accounts for the definite shape and unique properties of crystals which include their sharp melting and boiling points which distinguishes them from amorphous substances.

Answer:

long range order.

Explanation:

Crystals are atoms or molecules that are arranged in a manner which makes them repeats in a definite way(s). Crystals can form shape or structure such as hexagonal shape, monoclinic structure, cubic shape, tetragonal shape, orthorhombic shape and so on.

Long range order packing of crystals simply describe one of the properties of crystalline solids which is the regular repetition of a of certain arrangement pattern periodically.
