Anisotropy:

In crystalline substances, properties such as electrical conductivity, refractive index and thermal expansion have different values in different directions.

This behavior of crystalline solids is called anisotropy and these substances are called anisotropic.

 

Isotropy:

In amorphous substances, properties such as electrical conductivity, refractive index and thermal expansion are identical in all directions like in gases and liquids.

This property is called isotropy and the substances are called isotropic.
