What particles are not arranged in any type of order?
solid
In a crystalline solid, the particles are arranged in a regular pattern. In an amorphous solid, they are not.
NO
In a liquid, the particles are free to move around; in a solid, they have a fixed position. In a solid, the particles may have a regular structure (i.e., a crystal), or the structure may be irregular.
Solid - particles are tightly packed, in a regular pattern Liquid - particles are close together, with no regular arrangement Gas - particles are extremely far apart, with no regular arrangement http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/character.html
Amorphous solids can have a random arrangement of particles.
solid
Any substance with an arrangement of particles close together in a regular pattern is a SOLID. It is, infact, probably the best definition of a crystalline solid we have. The interesting thing is that this bromine must have been cooled a lot because bromine is normally a liquid at room temperature and pressure.
In an amorphous solid, the particle arrangement on both a macroscopic and microscopic scale has no periodicity, it is literally amorphous. On a crystalline solid, the particles arrangement is neat and ordered. There is a periodicity to the particles.
Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of microscopic particles, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. Gas is well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
Most solids do not have an orderly arrangement of particles: these are non-crystalline solids.
water changing to a solid: freezing movement of particles: vibration in fixed positions. arrangement: fixed positions (bonds between every particle). moving closer together water as a liquid: movement of particles: move about (slide past each other) arrangement: close together with no regular arrangement water to gas: boiling movement of particles: free/random movement at high speeds. arrangement: particles move further apart with no bonds between particles.
