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
Options:
A .  A,D
B .  A,C
C .  A,C,D
D .  B,D
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.
