= Crystallinity
{wiki=Crystallinity}
Crystallinity is a term used to describe the degree to which a material has a structured, ordered arrangement of its constituent atoms or molecules. In simpler terms, it refers to how "crystal-like" a substance is. Crystalline materials have a repeating pattern in their atomic or molecular structure, which extends in three dimensions. This regular arrangement contributes to distinctive properties such as melting points, hardness, and optical characteristics.
