The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Amorphous Solids**: - Amorphous solids are materials that lack a long-range order in their atomic or molecular arrangement. Unlike crystalline solids, which have a well-defined and repeating structure, amorphous solids have a disordered arrangement. **Hint**: Recall the difference between crystalline and amorphous solids in terms of atomic arrangement. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Orderly arrangement of atoms" - This is incorrect because amorphous solids do not have an orderly arrangement; they are characterized by a lack of long-range order. - **Option 2**: "Repeating unit of unit cell" - This is also incorrect as amorphous solids do not have a defined unit cell due to their disordered structure. - **Option 3**: "Long range of melting point" - This statement is correct. Amorphous solids do not have a sharp melting point; instead, they melt over a range of temperatures. - **Option 4**: "Anisotropy" - This is incorrect because amorphous solids exhibit isotropy, meaning their physical properties are the same in all directions, unlike crystalline solids which are anisotropic. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis of the options, the only correct statement about amorphous solids is that they have a "long range of melting point." Therefore, the correct answer is **Option 3**. ### Final Answer: **Amorphous solids have a long range of melting point. (Option 3)** ---
