Answer:
This formation represents an amorphous solid,
with atoms arranged in a non-ordered fashion.
The students wandering randomly in class with gaps and voids between them represent free atoms.
As soon as they hear the sound of clap they sit down or freeze wherever they are which means they did not get time to settle down in an ordered or arranged pattern.
If the students aka atoms had time to re-arrange themselves and form an ordered arrangement; they would represent a structure of crystalline solid.
