Amorphous solids are

A

Solid substance in real sense

B

Liquid in real sense

C

Supercooled liquid

D

Substance with difinite melting point

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Amorphous solids neither have ordered arrangement (i.e. no difinite shape )nor have sharp melting point like crystals, but when heated, they become pliable unitl they assume the properties unually related to liquids. It is therefore they are regarded as super-cooled liquids.
