In an amorphous solid, particles are arranged in a random, non-crystalline structure, lacking a long-range order typically found in crystalline solids. This irregular arrangement results in a more disordered state, where atoms or molecules are packed closely together but do not form a repeating pattern. As a result, amorphous solids exhibit properties such as isotropy and varying mechanical strength, depending on the specific material. Examples include glass and certain polymers.
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.
Particles are arranged in regular, systematic, repeating patterns, which will vary depending on the material in question.
Randomly, without an ordered internal structure.
Amorphous solids have no definite melting point because their particles are arranged randomly. Amorphous solids do not have crystal form or definite melting point.

Particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern are typically found in amorphous materials. In amorphous solids, the particles are randomly arranged and lack a long-range order seen in crystalline solids. Examples of amorphous materials include glass, certain polymers, and gels.

Glass is a amorphous solid because they have large particles but randomly arranged
Crystalline Solids are when the particles form a regular repeating pattern. Amorphous solids have particles that are not arranged in a regular pattern.
Solid!
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.
Randomly, without an ordered internal structure.
Particles do not have an orderly arrangement in an amorphous solid. In amorphous solids, the particles are arranged randomly, unlike in crystalline solids where the particles have a well-defined, repeating pattern. Examples of amorphous solids include glass and certain plastics.

A solid with an irregular pattern of particles is called an amorphous solid. Unlike crystalline solids, which have a regular and repeating pattern of particles, amorphous solids have particles arranged in a random and disordered manner. Examples of amorphous solids include glass and some types of plastics.
