The crystalline state is the one and only internal state of matter
Abstract
The so-called colloidal and amorphous states, just like the crystalline one, 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 which 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 crystalline structure is determined by the internal symmetry of the individual masses of the substance.
