To determine which statement about amorphous solids is incorrect, let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Understand Amorphous Solids Amorphous solids are materials in which the particles are not arranged in a regular pattern. This irregular arrangement leads to different properties compared to crystalline solids, which have a well-defined structure. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Statement 1. **Statement 1: Amorphous solids melt over a range of temperatures.** - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Amorphous solids do not have a sharp melting point; instead, they soften and melt over a range of temperatures due to their irregular structure. ...
