Amorphous Solids:-
A solid is said to be amorphous if particles [ions, atoms,
molecules] are arranged randomly in three dimensional
space.
They have short range order in their structure
Amorphous solids do not shows sharp melting point
Example:- Rubber, Glass, Pitch, Silica etc.
Amorphous solids are isotropic in nature
Isotropy: If the value of a physical property is same in all
directions then it is called isotropy
Ex: Thermal, electrical conductivity, viscosity, refractive
index etc.,
