Crystalline solids are the most common type of solid, they are characterized by a regular crystalline organization of atoms that confer a long-range order, Amorphous, or non-crystalline, solids lack the long-range order
An excellent experiment is to heat sodium thiosulfate in a water bath. The solid crystals will dissolve into the water in the hydrated crystals forming a supersaturated solution. ... Placing a small crystal in the supersaturated solution will cause the liquid to turn solid.
