Glass as a solid is acturally a 'super-cooled liquid'. If left for many years the glass will appear to go cloudy, light does not trasnmit . This is the glass forming a crystalline solid.
Glass is classified as a super-cooled liquid becasue it is a liquid below its melting point, but has not formed crystals, to become solid.
NB Under certain weather conditions, water can become super-cooled. That is it is below its freezing point but still remains a liquid.
Glass and rubber are examples of amorphous solids, while table salt and silver are examples of crystalline solids. Amorphous solids lack an organized atomic structure, whereas crystalline solids have a well-defined repeating pattern.
Sort of, snow is a conglomeration of many solids. They're all ice, but obviously snow and ice are quite different.
Pyrite and amethyst
Crystalline solids have a well-defined geometric structure with particles arranged in a repeating pattern, giving them a sharp melting point and distinct faces. On the other hand, amorphous solids lack long-range order in particle arrangement, leading to a more random structure. This results in amorphous solids having a gradual softening when heated compared to the sharp melting point of crystalline solids.
Crystalline solids have a well-ordered arrangement of particles in a repeating pattern, leading to defined geometric shapes and distinct melting points, whereas amorphous solids lack a long-range order in their atomic structure, resulting in a random arrangement of particles and no sharp melting point. Crystalline solids exhibit cleavage and anisotropy, while amorphous solids do not have cleavage planes and display isotropic properties.
Rubber and glass which become softer as they are heated are examples of crystalline solids
No, rubber and glass are examples of amorphous solids, not crystalline solids. Crystalline solids have a repeating atomic arrangement, while amorphous solids lack a regular, ordered structure.

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.
Crystalline solids are a class of solids that have regular or nearly regular crystalline structures. This means that the atoms in these solids are arranged in an orderly manner. Examples of crystalline solids are sugar, sugar candy, or rock candy.
Pyrite and amethyst
Crystalline particles form a regular repeating pattern, also when a crystalline solid is heated it melts at a specific temperature. Amorphous particles are not arranged in a regular pattern, and when it is heated, it may become softerand softer or change into other substances.
A Rubber and Chewing Gum
rubber,spandex,etc.
They are all solids.
