Can amorphous solids convert into crystals and crystals convert into amorphous solids?

Yes, but it usually requires changes in temperature and/or pressure, although there are cases where one structure is energetically preferred where it can happen spontaneously. Some examples are:
- amorphous carbon under very high temperature and pressure becomes diamond
- the black amorphous solid form of sulfur spontaneously converts to the yellow crystalline solid form slowly over time, as the crystal is more stable
- etc.

Are amorphous and crystalline the same?
Amorphous solids are non-crystalline solids that lack the long-range order of crystal structures. Even amorphous solids have some short-range order.
How do crystalline solids differ from amorphous?
the difference between crystalline solids and amorphous solids are that particles in crystalline solids form a regular repeating pattern but in amorphous solids they are not arranged in a regular shapeCrystals are solids with fixed, regularpatterns
How are amorphous solids formed?
Amorphous solids are formed by the rapid cooling of a liquid. Then, when cooled the particles have no regular pattern like crystaline solids do.
How are crystalline solids similar from amorphous solids?

What is amorphous crystals in the urine and what does it cause.?
Amorphous crystals are found in the urine samples of healthy patients and are very common in health care workers. Rarely amorphous crystals can indicate liver impairment or disease.
What do you call solids that do not form crystals?
amorphous

What is diffrance between amorphous solids and crystalized solids?
Crystalline solids have a particular geometric organization of their atoms. Amorphous solids do not.

Define amorphous solid?
Generally they are two types of solids 1. Crystalline solids 2. Amorphous solids. Amorphous solids are those solids which having different properties in different directions. They didnt have sharp melting and boiling points.
