Question

Which of the following is most likely to be amorphous?

-glass
-solid sulfur
-solid calcium
-gold

Answer 1

the best answer here would be glass.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amorphous means without any crystalline structure or definite shape. Whereas a solid whose atoms are not bonded together in a definite lattice pattern. This solid is non-crystalline in nature.

For example, glass, gel, plastic etc are all amorphous solids.

Whereas solid sulfur, solid calcium, and gold have a definite lattice pattern and has a crystalline structure. Thus, they are not amorphous solids.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options glass is most likely to be amorphous.
