Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The illustration shows a repeating pattern of particles, indicating that it is a crystalline solid. The particles are not individual atoms or molecules, but rather a repeated arrangement of atoms or molecules, so options A, B, and E can be ruled out. Option C is not specific enough, as there are different types of solids (amorphous, crystalline, etc.), but option D accurately describes the structure shown in the illustration.
