The solids which does not possess the regular arrangement of atoms are called as _ ?
Correct answer: A. Amorphous solids
- A. Amorphous solids
- B. Crystalline solids
- C. Polymorphic solids
- D. Isomorphic solids
Explanation
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. Normally solids are closely packed. In comparison, amorphous solids have no such arrangement. Their particles are randomly organized. Crystals have a long-order arrangement of their particles.

About Crystalline Solids
Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
