Is a amorphous solid a glass?
it is an amorphous solid
What are the similarities between an amorphous and crystalline solid?
They are two types of solid and i guess both are having different properties ...See,! their properties are different crystalline solids are having sharp melting and boiling point......and amorphous are having low melting and boiling point2. they are having a proper geometrical structure and as far as amorphous solids are concerned , they aren't having proper geometrical structures....and there are lot more ...... and i guess they both are not having any similarity........
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 diamondthe black amorphous solid form of sulfur spontaneously converts to the yellow crystalline solid form slowly over time, as the crystal is more stableetc.
Differentiate between cristaline solids and amorphous solids?
Crystalline particles form a regular repeating pattern, also when a crystalline solid is heated it melts at a specific temperature. Amorphous particles are not arranged in a regular pattern, and when it is heated, it may become softerand softer or change into other substances.
What happens when an amorphous solid breaks?
The solid breaks at random places. Apex. thanks guy below for leading me to this answer
What do you call a solid without form?
A solid without a defined crystal structure is amorphous.
The state of matter in which particles are arranged in either a crystalline or an amorphous form is?
Solid!
Is a amorphous solid a glass?
it is an amorphous solid
What are solids in which the particles are NOT arranged in a pattern?
A solid in which the constituent particles do not form a pattern is said to be amorphous.

What is solids amorphous solid?
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.

Why is liquid silver less dense than solid silver?
Liquid silver occupies greater volume than in its solid form. Silver in liquid form is less dense because atoms are vibrating and sliding past one another.
What state is is arranged as a crystalline or an amphorus?
The state that is arranged as a crystalline or an amorphous form is a solid. Those two forms require a rigid structure of molecules, which is what a solid provides unlike a liquid or gas.
Is metal a crystalline or amorphous solid?
Metals are crystalline because the bond via metallic bonding, are unrestricted as to number and position of nearest neighbor atoms, and have dense atomic packing. Due to these traits, they form a lattice microstructure (i.e., crystal)
What do you call solids that do not form crystals?
amorphous
Which Material forms crumbly crystals and has a melting point of 16.6 Celsius has a low density in solid form?
This is acetic acid, a molecular solid. The low melting point indicates that it's not a network atomic solid or ionic solid, and the fact that it forms crystals rules out metals and amorphous soilds.
