Hello, everyone. Today we have the falling problem, draw an atomic level representation of an amorphous solid. An amorphous solid is going to essentially lack any sort of geometrical or crystalline shape. So it's gonna lack any geometrical sheep. In other words, any non crystalline material that doesn't arrange its atoms or molecules is said to be amorphous. And so based on these following answer choices D is going to best represent what an amorphous solid is. And with that, we've answered the question overall, I do hope this helped. And until next time.
