The crystalline state is the only internal state of matter

Article preview

The so-called colloidal and amorphous states, just like the crystalline ones, are universal properties of matter. The colloidal and amorphous states do not exist as separate states of matter, but represent one of the forms of crystalline formations. The main reasons for the colloidal and amorphous states are rooted exclusively in the directions that the crystallization process takes, due to the large values of both the relative rate of formation of the substance inside the solution and another factor that depends mainly on the complexity of the substance and the viscosity of the medium in which crystallization occurs. The rates of diffusion and reaction in strong jellies are very low and sometimes almost close to zero. The crystal structure is determined by the internal symmetry of the individual masses of the substance.
