Question

What would be classified as amorphous

Answer 1

In condensed matter physics and materials science, an amorphous (from the Greek a, without, morphé, shape, form) or non-crystalline solid is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal. In some older books, the term has been used synonymously with glass. ... Polymers are often amorphous.

Amorphous solids include both natural and man-made materials. The most frequently cited example of an amorphous solid is glass. However, amorphous solids are common to all subsets of solids. Additional examples include thin film lubricants, metallic glasses, polymers, and gels.

In most instances the precipitation of crystals of calcium oxalate, uric acid, triple phosphate, calcium phosphate and amorphous phosphates or urates is caused by transient supersat- uration of the urine, ingestion of foods, or by changes of urine temperature and/or pH which occur upon standing after micturition.

An amorphous metal (also known as metallic glass or glassy metal) is a solid metallic material, usually an alloy, with a disordered atomic-scale structure. Most metals are crystalline in their solid state, which means they have a highly ordered arrangement of atoms.
