∙ 11y agoin crystalline solids, the atoms are arranged in an ordered fashion and hence they have sharp melting points.
amorphous solids, due to random arrangement of the atoms do not have sharp melting points.

∙ 11y agoA melting point is defined as the temperature where the phasechange occurs from liquid to gas. Whatever the allotrope in the solid state, breaks particular bonds to become a liquid, and it is independent from the structure of the solid allotrope. So, amorphous solids too have a strict melting point.

Which is true of a melting point and a boiling point?
Melting point: at this temperature a solid become a liquid.Boiling point: at this temperature a liquid become a gas.
What is peritectic reaction?
Peritectic reaction is a reaction in which two phases (solid and a primary solid phase alpha) in converted into a single phase beta. Differs from eutectic reaction. Unlike eutectic reaction in which a single phase (liquid) is transformed into two solid phases. For eutectic reaction the Eutectic point is the common melting point which is lower than melting points of both individual melting points. This is not true with peritectic reaction.
What is true about the melting point and freezing point of water?
At standard pressure the melting (freezing) point of pure water is 0 0C.
Which of the following is true about the melting point of potassium chloride?
The melting teperature is relatively high
Will heating a solid to 200 degrees Celsius cause it to change to a liquid?
Heat is neither solid or liquid, it is not a gas either. I think of it only as a ray of hot.
How is chocolate melting related to an amorphous solid?
Chocolate does not have a sharp melting point, it softens and melts over a range of temperature, this is true for amorphous solids, for example glasses.
Does a crystalline solid has a definite melting point?
Yes, it is true.
What is true of a melting point and a boiling point?
Melting point is a temperature in which solid change into liquid form and boiling point in which liquid convert into gas form
What are crystalline and amorphous two categories of?
These are two out of three categories of solids according to their geometry and arrangement. Crystalline solids have proper geometry having the particle arranged on definite axes possessing sharp melting point such as common salt, diamond, etc. Whereas amorphous solids neither have ordered arrangement nor a definite geometry. They have long range melting point such as glass, plastic, etc.
Which is true of a melting point and a boiling point?
Melting point: at this temperature a solid become a liquid.Boiling point: at this temperature a liquid become a gas.
What is the melting point for grass?
Applying heat to grass will not cause it to melt but to burn. Glass is a silica compound that due to the addition of soda softens at about 1500 °C (2700 °F) It is not a true "melting point" since amorphous solids do not have sharp melting points like crystalline solids do.
What is abs plastics?
ABS plastic or the 'Acrylonitrile butadiene Styrene' is a common thermoplastic. It is an amorphous and has an approximately 105 degrees Celsius glass transition temperature and no true melting point.
Is melting wax a solid liquid or gas?
that's a good question. It is a amorphous solid because it expands or gradually loses shape.
Is it true that the melting of a solid changes with the amount of material?
true
Is this statement true or false saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats tend to be liquid oils at room temperature?
True. Saturated fats have a higher melting point and tend to be solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats have a lower melting point and are typically liquid oils at room temperature.
True or false The melting temperature of a solid changes with the amount of material?
True
Crystalline and Amorphous Solids?
are two solids that are mostly the same but crystaline is in a pattern that repeats its self were as amorphous does not so they are both solids for ex. if i said the pattern abcabcabc....(infinite) the pattern would just repeat itself over and over but, amorphous would be abc but wuoldnt repeat itself.
