A glass has a random arrangement of particles. They are often called amorphous, which means without shape. Contrast with a crystal, which has a definite arrangement of particles.
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.

A glass has a random arrangement of particles. They are often called amorphous, which means without shape. Contrast with a crystal, which has a definite arrangement of particles.
Most solids do not have an orderly arrangement of particles: these are non-crystalline solids.
Soil Structure.
the arrangement of particles in a pancake are that when you prepare the pancake with the ingredients it turns into a liquid and then when you cook it change into a solid
solid
Amorphous solids can have a random arrangement of particles.
Arrangement of particles determind the phase
Soil Structure.
amorphous solids
soil structure
The arrangement of particles are packed together.
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.
