The materials in which disordered structure of liquid is frozen are:
Correct answer: A. Amorphous
- A. Amorphous
- B. Crystalline
- C. Polycrystalline
- D. Quartz
Explanation
The materials in which the disordered structure of a liquid is frozen are typically referred to as amorphous solids. These materials do not have a long-range ordered structure like crystals, but instead, their atomic or molecular arrangements are disordered, similar to the structure of a liquid. One common example of such materials is glass.

About Crystalline and Amorphous Solids
Crystalline solids have a regular, repeating lattice and a sharp melting point, while amorphous solids lack long-range order and soften over a temperature range. The topic covers unit cells, anisotropy, cleavage, symmetry and examples such as salts, metals, glass and plastics. Crystalline order must not be confused with mere hardness.
