In fact, all the solids which are non-metallic in nature, have got no definite order or orientation of their molecules or atoms. This is the reason that these solids are always found to be bad conductors of heat and electricity and also non-magnetic in nature. However, pure carbon in its natural state is an exception to this as pure carbon though being non-metallic and bad conductor of heat and having non-magnetic properties, yet it is found to be a very good conductor of electricity. P.S. : Viewers are requested to kindly correct this if I have not answered accurately.
Glass, solid epoxy and so on.
Edit: Glass, rubber, and some types of polymers (i.e. PVC) are all examples of amorphous solids. Amorphous solids have particles which are randomly arranged and have no ordered long-range structure. If a solid does have long-range ordered structure, it is said to be a crystalline solid (there are several types of these, including ionic, molecular, metallic, and covalent network solids).
In all the amorphous solids particles are not arranged in a regular pattern such as Coal , boric acid, plaster of Paris etc.
These are crystalline solids.
This is an amorphous solid.
Amorphous
What particles are not arranged in any type of order?
Crystal lattice. lattice
A solid in which there is no regular repeating structure (no crystals). Glass is a good example of an amorphous solid.
diamond any type of crystals, sugar etc.
In a crystalline solid, the particles are arranged in a regular pattern. In an amorphous solid, they are not.
In a solid, the particles are packed tightly together. They do not have a lot of room for motion. These particles are arranged in a regular, usually repeating pattern.

What particles are not arranged in any type of order?
Lattice
A repeating pattern of particles is called a lattice. The solid is called 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.
Particles are arranged in regular, systematic, repeating patterns, which will vary depending on the material in question.
its a crystalline solid
The particles in a typical solid are arranged in a tight matrix, whereas in a gas the particles can move around freely. In a solid (molecules being so tightly packed), the particles can only vibrate, not move or flow as those in a gas or liquids can. A solid, therefore, has a definite shape and a definite volume.There are two types of solid:Crystalline - made of crystals and have a have a regular repeating pattern.Examples - snowflakes and saltAmorphous - do not keep their shape permanently, can lose their shapes under certain conditions, and are not in regular repeating patterns.Examples - glass, soap, and tar.
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.
