Question

Why amorphous solids are called supercooled liquids?

Answer 1

Glass is sometimes called a supercooled liquid because it does not form a crystalline structure, but instead forms an amorphous solid that allows molecules in the material to continue to move. However, Scientific American indicates that amorphous solids are neither supercooled liquids nor solids.

Answer 2

Amorphous solids have the tendency to flow but, slowly. It does not form a crystalline solid structure as particles in solids do not move but here it moves. Hence it is called a supercooled liquid.
