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.
What is the state matter of gel?
At room temperature, honey is a highly viscous liquid. Viscosity is a liquids resistance to flow. I think gelatin is also a liquid but it is even more viscous. Glass is probably the most viscous liquid I know of. It takes many years for glass to flow even a little bit. If you ever visit buildings that are hundreds or thousands of years old, you might notice the glass in the windouws is thicker at the bottom than the top.
How you can show gases are more compressible than solid and liquid?
The expeiment is simple: under an applied pressure the volume of a gas decrease.
What phases are able to be compressed?
The gas is more compressible.
How is a crystalline solid different from an amorphus solid?
that a crystalline is solid and a amorphous solid I think that is like more soft I put that in the a exam and I get a 110 because of the extra credit :) put that :)

Difference between crystalline solid and amourphous solid?
crystalline solid is more rigid and amourphous solid is easier to bend
Is silicon a solid at room temperature?
At room temperature the element silicon is a crystalline solid.If it was not a crystalline solid, the computer you have in front of you would not be possible (or would be much bigger and consume much more power).Do not confuse the element silicon with various compounds called silicone, which are oils and polymers that have silicon atoms in their molecules instead of carbon atoms, and can be either liquids or solids. There are also silicon compounds that are gases (e.g. silane, chlorosilane, fluorosilane, chlorofluorosilane).

What is an example of an amorphous solid?
some examples are wax, paraffin, polystyrene, etc. in case u didnt know, an amorphous solid is one that has particles not arranged in a particular order, or has non chrystalline characteristics. There are more everyday examples like glass, rubber, and basic plastics, if any of that helps. Dont forget wood.
What is amorphous substance?
Crystalline and Amorphous are two forms of Carbon. Crystalline is the form in which most of the substances consists of crystals or so. Examples are: Diamond, Graphite and Fullerene. Amorphous or non-crystalline is the form in which every substance is aerated or something as a gas. Examples are: Coke, Coal and etc.
Is white crystalline solid a compound or an element?
No, because crystalline has more than one element in it, basically it is a compound.

Are covalent compounds crystalline solids?
Not usually no. However, covalently bonded polymers will often have crystalline domains - these are called spherulites. So the polymer is rarely perfectly amorphous. PET is one such polymer. see related link for more information.
How you can show gases are more compressible than solid and liquid?
The expeiment is simple: under an applied pressure the volume of a gas decrease.
How can you use compressible in a sentence?
One of the synonyms for "compressible" is "squeezable". I've noticed that a sponge is more compressible when it is soaking wet.
