Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solids that have no long-range order are called amorphous, such as glass or plastic. Crystalline solids have a regular arrangement of atoms, molecules, or ions in a three-dimensional repeating pattern. Metallic solids consist of metal atoms held together by metallic bonds, while molecular solids have atoms or molecules held together by van der Waals forces or hydrogen bonds.
