Question
Which of the following are the characteristics of an amorphous solid?
A. Short range order
B. Sharp melting point
C. Isotropic in nature
D. Definite heat of fusion
A. Short range order
B. Sharp melting point
C. Isotropic in nature
D. Definite heat of fusion
Answer: Option B
:
B
Amorphous solids consist of particles of irregular shape, so it displays short range order.
Amorphous solids soften over a range of temperature, and hence doesn’t show sharp melting point.
The value of a physical property will be same from any directions in case of amorphous solids. So, they are said to be isotropic in nature.
Amorphous solids do not have a definite heat of fusion.
