How is liquid related to an amorphous solid?

Liquid and amorphous solid are both states of matter. A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, while an amorphous solid has a definite volume but does not have a regular, repeating structure like a crystalline solid. The transition between liquid and amorphous solid occurs when the particles lose their ability to flow freely but do not adopt a regular crystalline structure.


What is a glass solid or liquid?

It is an amorphous solid.


How is chocolate melting related to an amorphous solid?

Chocolate melting is related to an amorphous solid because chocolate has a disordered atomic arrangement, similar to that of an amorphous solid. Upon heating, the atoms in chocolate move more freely and lose their ordered structure, leading to the transformation from a solid to a liquid state.

Is glass technically a liquid?

No, glass is not technically a liquid. It is an amorphous solid, which means it has a disordered atomic structure similar to a liquid but is still considered a solid.


Is melting wax a solid liquid or gas?

that's a good question. It is a amorphous solid because it expands or gradually loses shape.


Contrast the changes in a crystalline solid as it is heated to those in an amorphous solid that is heated?

As a crystalline solid is heated, it undergoes a well-defined melting point where its ordered structure breaks down to a disordered liquid state. In contrast, an amorphous solid softens gradually upon heating without a distinct melting point, as its structure lacks long-range order. The amorphous solid may eventually become a viscous liquid upon further heating.
