In fact, all the solids which are non-metallic in nature, have got no definite order or orientation of their molecules or atoms. This is the reason that these solids are always found to be bad conductors of heat and electricity and also non-magnetic in nature. However, pure carbon in its natural state is an exception to this as pure carbon though being non-metallic and bad conductor of heat and having non-magnetic properties, yet it is found to be a very good conductor of electricity. P.S. : Viewers are requested to kindly correct this if I have not answered accurately.
Glass, solid epoxy and so on.
Edit: Glass, rubber, and some types of polymers (i.e. PVC) are all examples of amorphous solids. Amorphous solids have particles which are randomly arranged and have no ordered long-range structure. If a solid does have long-range ordered structure, it is said to be a crystalline solid (there are several types of these, including ionic, molecular, metallic, and covalent network solids).
In all the amorphous solids particles are not arranged in a regular pattern such as Coal , boric acid, plaster of Paris etc.
These are crystalline solids.
This is an amorphous solid.

Crystal lattice. lattice
Particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern are typically found in amorphous materials. In amorphous solids, the particles are randomly arranged and lack a long-range order seen in crystalline solids. Examples of amorphous materials include glass, certain polymers, and gels.
Particles in solid iodine are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern called a crystal lattice. The particles are held closely together in a fixed position, forming a three-dimensional structure. The color of solid iodine is typically a shiny bluish-black hue.
A solid in which there is no regular repeating structure (no crystals). Glass is a good example of an amorphous solid.
A crystal lattice is a regular repeating arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline solid. This arrangement gives crystals their characteristic structure and properties.
In a solid, the particles are packed tightly together. They do not have a lot of room for motion. These particles are arranged in a regular, usually repeating pattern.
Solid
Lattice
A repeating pattern of particles is called a lattice. The solid is called a crystal.
Nonliving, solid material formed in nature with particles arranged in a repeating pattern is a mineral. Atoms of a mineral are arranged in a repeating pattern to form a solid that is called a crystal.
Particles are arranged in regular, systematic, repeating patterns, which will vary depending on the material in question.
its a crystalline solid
The particles in a typical solid are arranged in a tight matrix, whereas in a gas the particles can move around freely. In a solid (molecules being so tightly packed), the particles can only vibrate, not move or flow as those in a gas or liquids can. A solid, therefore, has a definite shape and a definite volume.There are two types of solid:Crystalline - made of crystals and have a have a regular repeating pattern.Examples - snowflakes and saltAmorphous - do not keep their shape permanently, can lose their shapes under certain conditions, and are not in regular repeating patterns.Examples - glass, soap, and tar.
Amorphous means having a non-crystalline structure.* A crystalline solid is a solid that is made up of crystals in which particles are arranged in a regular repeating pattern called a lattice. Amorphous solids do not have regular crystalline molecular structures.
The particles in a crystalline solid are arranged in a repeating pattern.

particles arranged in a solid are in a tight manner. where as a gas's particles can move or are free. the solid, being so tightly packed, the particles can only vibrate, not move or flow like a gas's or liquid's can. a solid has a definite shape and a difenate volume, to maintain this the solid must have particles that are packed tightly together. there are two types of solid:Crystalline - made of crystals and have a have a regular repeating pattern.Examples - snowflakes and saltAmorphous - do not keep their shape permanently, can lose their shapes under certain conditions, and are not in regular repeating patterns.Examples - glass, soap, and tar.
