(N/A) The three properties that exhibit different magnitudes and different directions are:
$1$. Thermal conductivity: In anisotropic materials,the flow of heat depends on the direction of the temperature gradient.
$2$. Electrical conductivity: In crystalline materials,the flow of electric current varies depending on the orientation of the crystal lattice.
$3$. Elastic modulus (or compressibility): In anisotropic solids,the deformation resulting from an applied stress depends on the direction of the force relative to the crystal axes.
