Does an amorphous solid have a true melting point?

Amorphous solids do not have a definite melting point or regular repeating units. An amorphous solid is a solid in which there is no long-range order of the positions of the atoms unlike those in crystalline solids. An example of an amorphous solid is window glass. In addition many polymers such as polystyrene are amorphous.


Are amorphous and crystalline the same?

Amorphous solids are non-crystalline solids that lack the long-range order of crystal structures. Even amorphous solids have some short-range order.
