Solids ae of two types-1-Crystalline Solids
                                 2-Amorphous Solids
   Crystalline Solids are anisotropic in nature which means some of their physical properties show different values 
when measured along different directions in same crystal.Thus Anisotropy in solids is due to different arrangement of particles along different directions.
