Does a amorphous solid have definite melting point?
No
What is the difference between an amorphous and crystalline solid when heated?
An amorphous solid softens over a temperature range, but a crystalline solid has a sharp melting point.
How is chocolate melting related to an amorphous solid?
Chocolate does not have a sharp melting point, it softens and melts over a range of temperature, this is true for amorphous solids, for example glasses.
What are crystalline and amorphous two categories of?
These are two out of three categories of solids according to their geometry and arrangement. Crystalline solids have proper geometry having the particle arranged on definite axes possessing sharp melting point such as common salt, diamond, etc. Whereas amorphous solids neither have ordered arrangement nor a definite geometry. They have long range melting point such as glass, plastic, etc.
Why does ice has a sharp melting point where as glass melts over a range of temperature?
Because ice is a crystalline solid and glass is a amorphous solid
Does a amorphous solid have definite melting point?
No
Does an amorphous solid have a true melting point?
Amorphous solids do not have a definite melting point or regular repeating units. An amorphous solid is a solid in which there is no long-range order of the positions of the atoms unlike those in crystalline solids. An example of an amorphous solid is window glass. In addition many polymers such as polystyrene are amorphous.

Does a crystalline solid has a definite melting point?
Yes, it is true.
You find that a particular solid shatters unpredictably and does not have a sharp melting point You determine that this is?
An amorphous solid, most likely a glass.

What are the physical properties of the element?
Whether it is crystalline or amorphous? Its boiling point, melting point, density, colour. Elasticity if it is a solid, viscosity if it is a fluid
Are Amorphous metals metallic?
No an amorphous solid is one that does not have a definite crystal structure Example include amorphous carbon and glass.
What point would plastic melt?
Plastic, being the amorphous solid it doesn't have the accurate melting point. It melt gradually as the temperature rises. Glass are also belong to this type. Hence, amorphous solid are also known super cooled liquid.
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.
