Question

Amorphous solids are

• A. Solid substance in real sense
• B. Liquid in real sense
• C. Supercooled liquid
• D. Substance with definite melting point

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Supercooled liquid

Amorphous solids neither have ordered arrangement (i.e. no definite shape)

nor have sharp melting point like crystals, but when heated, they become

pliable until they assume the properties usually related to liquids. It is

therefore they are regarded as super-cooled liquids.
