1.25: Crystal
Those solids in which atoms, ions or molecules are arranged in a definate three dimensional pattern are called crystalline solids. A material is a crystal if it has essentially a sharp diffraction pattern. The word essentially means that most of the intensity of the diffraction is concentrated in relatively sharp Bragg peaks, besides the always present diffuse scattering.
