Particles are arranged in regular, systematic, repeating patterns, which will vary depending on the material in question.
Particles in amorphous solids were arranged in a noncrystalline manner with no long-range order. Even amorphous solids have some short range order.
They are tightly compacted together so that they can maintain that solid state. Just like a frozen ice cube.
Particles tightley packed together do not change position PS trees
Particles are held (relatively) rigidly in place in a solid. They are held rigidly in place in a solid at absolute zero.
Randomly, without an ordered internal structure.
crystals
In a crystal the particles are arranged in a lattice.
What particles are not arranged in any type of order?
The particles in a crystalline solid are arranged in a repeating pattern.
yes.

liquid and solid
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.
A solid in which the constituent particles do not form a pattern is said to be amorphous.
Particles are held (relatively) rigidly in place in a solid. They are held rigidly in place in a solid at absolute zero.
