Yes, but it usually requires changes in temperature and/or pressure, although there are cases where one structure is energetically preferred where it can happen spontaneously. Some examples are:

  • amorphous carbon under very high temperature and pressure becomes diamond
  • the black amorphous solid form of sulfur spontaneously converts to the yellow crystalline solid form slowly over time, as the crystal is more stable
  • etc.

What is amorphous crystals in the urine and what does it cause.?

Amorphous crystals are found in the urine samples of healthy patients and are very common in health care workers. Rarely amorphous crystals can indicate liver impairment or disease.


What are solids in which the particles are NOT arranged in a pattern?

Amorphous solids are those in which the particles are not arranged in a specific pattern. This lack of a regular geometric arrangement gives amorphous solids unique properties compared to crystalline solids, which have a well-defined structure. Examples of amorphous solids include glass and certain plastics.

Do amorphous solids have sharp melting points?

No, amorphous solids do not have sharp melting points like crystalline solids. Instead, amorphous solids soften over a range of temperatures as they transition into a more fluid state, making their melting behavior less well-defined.
