Question

Which of the Following is an Amorphous solid?
A) Quartz Glass(Sio2)
B) Chrome Alum
C) Silicon Carbide(SiC)
D) Graphite

Answer 1

Answer:   A) Quartz Glass(Sio2) 

Explanation:

An amorphous or non-crystalline solid is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal. In Brief, An amorphous solid is any noncrystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern. Such solids include glass, plastic, and gel.

Quartz glass (SiO2) is an amorphous solid due to its short range order of constituent particles. Note Quartz is a crystalline solid while quartz glass is an amorphous solid.
