Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

There are two states used to describe solids in science; these are crystalline and amorphous (non-crystalline) solids.

Crystalline solids are solids whose constituent particles are properly arranged in a 3-dimensional structure in a crystal-like manner. They have a definite melting point and a defined shape and pattern. A common example of a crystalline solid is diamond.

Amorphous or non-crystalline solids are the opposite of the crystalline solids as there constituent particles are disorderly arranged. They do not have a defined melting point as they melt over a range of temperature.

From the above, it can be deduced that candle wax exhibits the properties of amorphous solids.

What happens when light strikes a translucent object?
sammy [17]

Answer:

D)   Some of the light passes through, and some of the light is absorbed or scattered by the object.

Explanation:

When light strikes translucent materials, only some of the light passes through them. The light does not pass directly through the materials. ... When light strikes an opaque object none of it passes through. Most of the light is either reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to heat.
