Because this classification contrasts with that of crystalline solids whose atoms are arranged in a regular and orderly fashion forming crystalline networks.
Answer:
The molecules absorb heat and acquire more kinetic energy.
Explanation:
In a solid, the solids only vibrate about their mean positions but do not translate. When energy is supplied to the molecule in the form of heat, the molecules vibrate faster. Eventually, they acquire sufficient energy to leave their mean positions and translate. Hence the solid crystal collapses.
When ice is heated, water molecules acquire sufficient kinetic energy to translate. The intermolecular bonds are gradually broken in the solid framework as heat is absorbed. The heat required for this is known as the latent heat of fusion.
The temperature remains constant until phase transition is over, then temperature rise resumes.
An electron in a hydrogen atom would have 10 states for a 3d orbital, like any other element.
n = 3, l = 2, in one of ml = 2, 1, 0, -1, -2 each with ms = -½ or +½ or a total of 10 possible states.
None of these are a ground state of an electron in the hydrogen atom.

The answer is:
- metalloids are semiconductive.
- metalloids are amphoteric.
The explanation:
The metalloids are only 6 elements in the periodic table which are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. And its properties are intermediate between the nonmetal and the metal. and their properties are brittle, shiny ,solid. but the properties that are unique to metalloids.
