Question

Which of the following is an amorphous solid?

  1. Rubber (C)
  2. Quartz glass (SiO2)
  3. Plastic
  4. All the above

hintHint:

Amorphous solids are the ones that lack a certain arrangement in the structure of their molecules.

The correct answer is: All the above


    • Among the given options, all of the above are examples of an amorphous solid.
    • Amorphous solids are those types of solids that have a random arrangement of molecules. They do not have an arranged three-dimensional structure and have properties different from other solids.
    • Rubber, quarts glass, and plastic all consist of random structures. They lack any form of arrangement. Quartz glass has a short range of order in its constituent particles.

    Crystalline solids are the ones that have a certain arrangement in the organization of their molecules.
