Amorphous solid, any noncrystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern. ... Distinction between crystalline and amorphous solids. ...
In condensed matter physics and materials science, an amorphous or non-crystalline solid is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal. In some older books, the term has been used synonymously with glass.
.AMORPHOUS.
Amorphous are the substance which are not crystalline or they do not have a fixed structure.
•Basically, you can also say it an unorganized body with 0 or not a significant figure.
•Like, amoeba is a amorphous or the mirror,lens or any solid is amorphous kind.
some common examples of amorphous are as follows.
Glass is the most and very simple example of amorphoue solid, but other then that metallic glasses,polymers,gels, are the external examples of them.
Why are the known as Amorphous, reasons?
They are known as amorphous because they actually dont have a correcect or synchonized structure,or molecular wait is not defined which results in there variation of molecular structure and result in variable melting,boling,freezing points and state.
What are the different ways tp identofy the amorphous solid?
see, when you will try to break a amorphous glass(for example) it will break into small piceces and which will be infinite.
and whereas if you will break a crystalline solid(opposite of amorphous) you will only or two pieces will be separated.
This is all about AMORPHOUS DEFINITION.
