Define the term 'amorphous'. Give a few examples of amorphous solids.

(N/A) Amorphous solids are solids whose constituent particles are arranged in an irregular pattern and possess only short-range order.
These solids are isotropic in nature and melt over a range of temperature.
Because of this,they are sometimes referred to as pseudo solids or supercooled liquids.
They do not have a definite heat of fusion.
When cut with a sharp-edged tool,they break into pieces with irregular surfaces.
Examples of amorphous solids include $glass$,$rubber$,and $plastic$.
