Why amorphous solids do not have sharp melting points while crystalline solids do have?

in crystalline solids, the atoms are arranged in an ordered fashion and hence they have sharp melting points. amorphous solids, due to random arrangement of the atoms do not have sharp melting points.

What are 2 reasons molecules and atoms are different?

Molecules are different from atoms because they are formed by combining two or more atoms through chemical bonds, resulting in new chemical properties and behaviors. Additionally, molecules have a larger size and higher complexity compared to individual atoms as they consist of multiple atoms arranged in specific geometric configurations.
